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:

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!

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!

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!

Today I'd like to feature a lovely, delicate blog design I made for Donese Scott. Donese has semi-transparent leaves and florals against a romantic damask pattern in Very Vanilla and Bashful Blue. Wavy sides accent the left and right edges. Heather Wright Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com set up Donese's blog. Visit Donese here!

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?

Heather Wright Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com set up Connie's blog for her. Visit Connie here!
