Here is a siggy I recently made for Debby too:
Every day is a sweet day at Natalie’s blog!
Here is a project I completed for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Natalie Meyer. Natalie already had a nice website for her homemade candies and gift tins. Then she became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and she wanted to add a blog to her "Natalie’s Sweet n Things" website to showcase her Stampin’ Up! business. So she came to me and asked what her best option would be. What I told her was to ask the company hosting her existing website if they can also host a Wordpress blog. They responded and had a Wordpress blog installed for her in a timely matter. I then went to work!
What I needed to do is take her existing website design and re-create it on her blog. That way she has a consistent look on both. I uploaded the existing background to her blog and I created a blog banner based on the same design of her store banner.
I just need to make this known that I did not design her website and this design. I can’t take credit for it. All I did was recreate it on her blog!
It is tweaks like this that I find to be economically for the customer. No need to pay additional Typepad fees when she can work with her current website host! Visit Natalie’s new blog here.
Here is the blog banner I created:
Natalie’s matching sidebar buttons:

Natalie’s post siggy:
Pretty good match between the existing website and the new blog isn’t it? Considering I wasn’t the original designer!

Do you believe in fairies? Velta does! She’s got some!
Velta Wesson asked for a banner with butterflies and fairies on it. Here is Velta’s dreamy little creation! She has a vine growing out of her "V" with butterflies and fairies floating around. Visit Velta’s blog here!
Here is Velta watermark:
And her siggy!
Inspired by Katy Perry?
ok, well maybe not EXACTLY inspired by Katy Perry. It just so happened that as I was designing Bobbi Jo Clark’s banner yesterday I was rockin’ to Katy Perry and her song "Hot & Cold". At one point I ended up dancing (which I posted on my Facebook page). I hope Bobbi Jo didn’t notice on Facebook that I was dancing while I was supposed to be working on her banner. Shhhh… don’t tell! Bobbi Jo is working with Heather Wright Porto to set up her blog. Bobbi Jo’s banner is actually inspired by Stampin’ Up! "Best Ever" simply scrappin kit!
Here is Bobbi Jo’s banner:

Bobbi Jo’s post siggy:
No scallops, polka dots and swirls on this banner!
Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Lyn Heppner is not your typical woman! Lyn is a paramedic in New York City! She has dealt with some rough and tough situations on the job. Lyn asked me to make a banner using some of her paramedic items. I included some Stampin’ Up! ribbons and hardware on her banner as well. I love Lyn’s tagline: "I Save Lives by Stamping Saves Mine!" But she made it clear when I was designing that she did not want "girlie" items such as swirls and scallops!
So… here is Lyn’s non-girlie stamping banner!
And Lyn’s watermark:
And her post siggy:
Darlene McCallum has a new business card!
Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Darlene McCallum asked for a business card to match her banner. Darlene’s banner was created by Amy Celona at WebsbyAmy. (I didn’t provide the pretty picture, that was Amy’s!) But with the help of Amy, I was able to get the picture from her and put together this business card! I love this picture. And I also love how Amy made the starts in Darlene’s banner twinkle!
