Write Stuff Specialty paper? Or not?
Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Cindy Coutts likes "The Write Stuff" designer paper on page 163 of the catalog. She asked me if I could make her a design in that style.
So I did!
Visit Cindy here to take a look! I didn't use any MDS images for her design. (I don't own any MDS images). Pretty cool, huh? All the designer paper was created by hand, by me.
Here is Cindy's blog banner:

Collage art banner for Rachel Brumley!
One of my all time favorite styles of blog banners (and rubber stamp art) is collage. I love putting a shabby collection of images together in an appealing composition. It's lots of fun! Rachel asked for a shabby chic banner in pinks, saffron, olive and perfect plum.
I just sort of pulled a bunch of images I had and started playing with composition. When I started her banner, I had no real idea how it would end up looking… in fact, when I sent Rachel her banner draft I told her to feel free to let me know if she wants me to start over with a different design because I wasn't sure it was suitable for her. But she said she likes it. cool! Collage art is my favorite style. It's just so fun to create collages!!!!

Rose Marie has a new blog design!
My goodness. Rose Marie's cartoon has a cool hair-do! Brown with highlights, just like Rose Marie herself!
What a pretty color combination as well. Melon Mambo, green, vanilla, So Saffron Burgundy, Durango and black! Sounds like a strange combination of colors, doesn't it? Well, it worked for Rose Marie! Take a look at the cool decorated Navigation Bar that Rose has. Each link text is a different color.
Heather Wright Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com set up Rose's blog including programming the Navigation bar. Visit Rose here!
