A Lovely and Serene blog for Tina Weller!
oh me oh my!
Tina’s blog has been to the beauty parlour!
Tina Weller, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Canada, asked for a feminine design but not too “busy”. She wanted a design that reflected Serenity, yet a design that had a charming tone with accents of color. She sent me some samples of blogs she likes and we worked out this design… it has a beautiful lace border all the way around the edges, tag buttons in the banner and stitching around the columns.
We decided the Baja Breeze and Marina Mist color combination in the background should be complimented by a few colors that “pop”. Thus, we decided on Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade for her blossoms and text accents!
It is a sophisticated, yet feminine design that shows off her business nicely!

Flowers and a dragonfly for Darlene’s blog design!
Last year Canadian demonstrator Darlene Donahue got a blog makeover. Her design has lovely solid and dotted flourishes. The background is a nice light gray, which makes the Concord Crush and Tempting Turquoise flowers look vibrant! Darlene also added a custom navigation bar to her design. Heather Wright Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com programmed her navigation bar in her Typepad blog.
Here is Darlene’s banner:

WordPress upgrade and “move” for Jayne!
Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Jayne Singleton asked me (last summer) about upgrading and moving her blog off of her previous hosting service (because of several problems with that service). I recommended that she move her blog to www.websbyamy.com because I knew it would solve the problems she was having.
We just moved her over to www.websbyamy.com and she’s all re-located.
I designed her Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry blog design back in 2009. She just indicated she wanted to keep the design and simply move it over. So that’s what we did!
