Pam’s blog is “Always Elegant”
Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Pam Liles asked me to make her a blog design similar in style to the new Stampin' Up! "Always Elegant" stamp set and matching Designer Series Paper!
This is just so pretty! Look at the Baja Breeze and Early Espresso design we came up with!

The strangest blog banner I’ve ever made!
Put down any alcohol you may be drinking because seeing is believing on this one!
Yes… there is a halo around the Thanksgiving "Turkey Angel" sitting atop a Christmas (palm) tree, the planet Earth is really a giant pumpkin, There is snow rising from the witches cauldron, and Santa is flying through the air trailed by bats!
Dawn herself is wearing a witches hat decked out in a Christmas bow and star as well as a Halloween moon tattoo on her cheek!
The ideas for this banner are all Dawn's, but I turned them into reality!
This is the craziest, zaniest banner I've ever created. And it is for the first ever LIVE in Palm Springs UStamp event.
Also have to mention that UStampwithDawnandFriends has moved to its own home and it now has a membership center that I created. There is a database that keeps track of all members of her UStamps. There are 8 of them. Soon to be 9 and counting… With that many memberships to handle, Dawn needed a streamlined solution. She has it! I built it!
Here is her new home: http://ustampwithdawnandfriends.com/
Dawn is using the services of WebsbyAmy.com for her new UStamp membership hub.

Participants in the event can grab this blinkie for their blog:

Time to share the new UStamp Banner-s!
The next installment of UStamp with Dawn and Friends is a fun one as always, but this one is unique because its an "All Cards" Event!
So, what better than cards floating around the earth????
Dawn's Early Fall UStamp banner. Dawn's second banner I'm featuing is in the next post.

Recent work done for I Brake for Stamps!
Here are some graphics I recently created for I Brake for Stamps. They have partnered with the well-known Dee Gruenig and her Posh Impressions line of stamps!
Della wanted her blog banner changed up to match Posh Impressions colors to fit on the new Posh Impressions/I Brake for Stamps Partnership forum called "Club Posh".
Quote from the Club Posh forum:
" This web site club of more than 2,000 members is operated by customers of I Brake For Stamps and Posh Impressions for rubber stampers and scrapbookers who are enthused by products or methods of its founder and president, Dee Gruenig. We at Posh and I Brake For Stamps are immensely impressed by club members' knowledge and involvement!

Here is an ad I made for Technique Junkies. It has a fun combination of summertime colors!

Internet related problems
Hi all,
My husband is on vacation from work this week and we are using his time at home to move my computer upstairs to another room. We also switched to wireless Internet so that it can be done.
Unfortunately something went wrong with the wireless connection last night when I was installing a blog design the Wireless connection went down I had no internet or email for about 18 hours. He got it fixed today (yay!) So the two blogs I was supposed to install last night, well they never got installed. And I responded to a bunch of emails last night, but none of them went… (argh)
So I'm going through and looking to see if I need to resend any emails or if they went automatically once he fixed the problem.
We ended up moving a spare desk upstairs from storage in the basement and I have a new area to work upstairs, now that is nicer than my previous digs. But I sure didn't anticipate the loss of Internet. I used my time wisely, however. Even though I had no Internet, I was able to get lots of Print orders done.
Sorry to those who I wasn't able to install designs last night. I'm doing them now. Even the best laid plans go awry.
In fact, not only was the Internet down, but the belt broke on the vacuum cleaner we were using to vacuum the floors after the move! So now he went out to purchase a vacuum cleaner belt and fix the vacuum! lol
Poor guy, this was supposed to be his vacation, but he's ending up being a fix-it-guy!
Update: vacuum's fixed! lol
But now come to find out our phones haven't been hooked up for the last 24 hours. I wasn't getting calls and I've been trying to call out all day. lol Something's still not right with the network.
If you're trying to call me and you got nothing, that's why. argh…
Weiner Dog creativity!
Angela Walters has a cute weiner dog blog design to go along with her love of weiner dogs (especially Frankfurter, her own.)

New blog for Shannon at Stampin’ Buds!
Today's featured blog is that of Shannon Buck, Director with Close to my Heart.
Shannon had a website and a separate blog. The website was out of date and not convenient to manage. So Shannon asked me to combine her blog and her website into one! Its also saving her money by doing so, since she can get rid of her website expense. It just made sense for her to go with Wordpress.
Shannon likes pink and brown. She also loves coffee and cupcakes. So we came up with a fun, scrappy design with layered labels, Corner punch, brads, and some glitter bling!
