It has been awhile since posting, once again. Things have been crazy busy and preparing blog posts has been lower on my “to-do” list. I’ve been spending my time working on customer orders in lieu of preparing posts! So lets see if I can get back into the swing of things again and update you all more frequently!

Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Roxie Nitti got a blog makeover last fall, and the design turned out wonderful! She has such an adorable cartoon girl wearing a Stampin’ Up! apron in her banner! Her colors are Certainly Celery, Old Olive and Wisteria Wonder with some Perfect Plum, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight and lots of other colors mixed in! So cute! This design makes Roxie’s personality shine!

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!
