Now Open! Chic Ink!
Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Heather Hildebrant has started a new store blog showcasing her custom hand-stamped finished product services. Her new store is called Chic Ink! Heather wanted a very elegant yet simple blog design in Razzleberry and tones of gray.
Heather ordered labels, a Facebook badge, Twitter column and business cards to match! She's ready for business!
Heather's finished design:






So soft and lovely!
Don't you just love the soft textures and details in this blog design for Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Beverly Laechelt? Soft was the keyword in her design questionaire answers. This design almost feels like you could reach onto your computer and touch it! lol Bev's blog was setup by Heather at www.blogsbyheather.com

New foster kitty at the Laycock house
Well, what a surprise. Tonight my husband came home with a cat.
We named him Walker. I guess a friend of his who lives in the Milwaukee neighborhood of Walker's Point found this kitty freezing and starving and begging for help. Frank volunteered to take him in. Frank picked him up from Jackie's house tonight. He's in my office now as I'm designing banners and he's the sweetest little black kitty. Walker has lots of comfy places to curl up, nourishing food and water. Who knows what each new day will bring! When I woke up, little did I know I'd have a new foster kit by the end of the day! We should have no problem finding him a new home. He's really sweet.
Free Social Media Sidebar buttons
Someone asked me where to get some Twitter/Facebook buttons for their blog sidebars. While I'd be happy to make ones that match your blog design, there are lots of free ones available on the internet. Here is a site with lots of cute ones.
Blog specialist gets a makeover!
Blog specialist Heather Wright Porto is expanding her business to include non-craft industry bloggers. She asked me to work with some of her design ideas and come up with a new design for her blog that is more "business" oriented. Her previous design was pinks, roses with stitching, which isn't appropriate for clientele in the non-stamping world. So we came up with a modern design with some really cool wave edges. Some of her finished blogs are showcased in her header. We think this design better presents her business services to the business community at large.

Heather also needed a solution to managing her blog maintenance subscriptions. When she told me about her needs, I recommended she hire me to build her Subscription management system. Not only does she have a new design, she also has a brand new management system where she can automatically take subscription orders, send out mailings to various subscription holders, keep track of who is subscribed to which service and the duration. Not to mention, it is all integrated with paypal! The new automated system she has will help her grow!
Please visit Heather's subscriptions page to take a look at the new setup!

Dragonfly Dreams has had a makeover!
Nature-lover and Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Kim Chaltry has a new blog design in shades of soft blues with white swirls. The mottled multi-tone background was fun to make! It was sort of like playing with digital ink! lol Kim's blog is lovely, I think.

Lisa’s banner has a character! Thanks Jackie!
Since the launch of our NEW Caricature services on Jan. 1st, Jackie has been sooooo busy!!!! We've got lots of caricature designs to feature here! Lisa Flemming took advantage of the January Launch sale! Take a look at her awesome banner!! Jackie is very talented. Jackie designed Lisa's caricature by hand. She did not start from stock art! So talented!
Keep Jackie in mind if you want a real (non-stock art) caricature! Original artwork of YOU! I'm posting Lisa's picture along with her banner so you can see!
