A few tweaks for Michelle in the UK!
Michelle Last, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the UK recently asked me to make a few tweaks and buttons for her blog. The photograph in her blog banner is the same as it was before, I just put her title in the font that is used on the most recent Stampin' Up! catalog and mini catalogs. She also wanted her demo information under her banner.
For her nav bar under her banner, she asked me to make some buttons, which where programmed by Heather Wright-Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com.
Michelle asked for some sidebar graphics and a siggy as well.
Its simply amazing what just a few matching graphics will do to improve the look of a blog.
Sometimes you don't need a whole new design to make your blog look professional!

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!!!!
Here is Rachel's blog if you'd like to take a look!

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.

Digital version of stamped art!
Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Connie Tumm asked for a new blog design and sent me a picture of a hand stamped creation that she'd like her banner to look like!
Here is Connie's hand stamped creation:
Here is my digital version!
I did not use any Stampin' Up! images in my version. I re-created the entire design in Illustrator and Photoshop! The dog and leaves/branches, ribbon, and house are hand-drawn and all the "paper" including the dotted embossed "paper" is hand made digitally. I do not own MDS nor do I own any MDS images. Everything on my version is a digital creation. Pretty cool, huh?

New blog design for MissGingerDots!
Tina Sutton asked for some help back in January. She had a website, but it was outdated and difficult for her to make changes. She decided to change to a blog format to make things easier for herself and her customers. Her new blog is easy to use and has a fun new design!
