Alaska Cruise button for demo sidebars!
Today's free demo button is for Cruise Achievers.
I have no idea who designed this graphic or where it came from other than it was sent to me by a demo.
I've had so many gals ask me if there is an Alaska sidebar badge so, I'll go ahead and share it here.
To whoever made this graphic, if you send me a message, I'll give you artistic credit! lol

Here is the code to grab for your sidebar!

Graceful new design for CPC forums and blog!
Good morning!
Today I'd like to feature the graceful new blog design for the Christian Paper Crafts Forum and Community as well as their blog.
Cindy Coutts asked for a new look and this one suits her perfectly! It is a Dove design with title in a label. Sidebar headers are simple and clean. Background is a muted shade of Baja Breeze and gray. Accents are Chocolate Chip. Very beautiful and easy on the eyes. It is a design that truly celebrates our Savior.

Thought of the day…
You know you're getting old when the little girl you used to babysit for and change her diaper many years ago sends you a Save the Date card!!!!
Congratulations to Vanessa on your engagement! I can't believe my little girl is getting married! Makes me proud to have been your babysitter!!
Where did the time go?
New blog design for Karen Wilson!
Hi!
I'd like to share with you a new design made for Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Karen Wilson. Karen is currently away on a mission trip to Africa, but she'll return shortly and will start posting new projects on her new blog soon! So make sure you go back to her blog again when she starts posting to see her lovely artwork!
Karen has custom in-banner navigation that matches her banner nicely. Heather Wright-Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com coded her nav bar. Karen wanted a design with lots of white space and she requested a floating banner. We decided that it would look nice to have a simple white, embossed polka dot background – It looks like her background was run through the Big Shot machine with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, doesn't it? Karen's colors are Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight!

No new project buttons for August
Well,
There seems to be a lack of new Projects with current product on the Stampin' Up! website. The projects available seem to have product from past mini catalogs. And the ones with all current product I've already featured.
So for now, I'm not posting any new Projects until SU! puts some new ones online.

Danielle’s Photo Show Header is a hit!
Be D*Dazzled over at Danielle's new blog!
Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Danielle May asked for a clean, up-to-date design for her blog! The sample blogs that she told me she liked (in her Design Questionaire) all featured photos in the banner. She wanted something similar, but with some pop. So, we came up with a Photo slideshow banner! How cool is that???!!!!
I took photographs from her art gallery and professionally color-toned them, brightened them up. Then I created the Photo Show Banner.
I mentioned to Danielle that next year she can have me change up the images for a small fee to keep the pictures up to date! A nice professional, low maintenance design!

Her blog is Taylor Made!
Suzanne Taylor has a lovely new blog in the Stampin' Up! colors Marina Mist, Riding Hood Red, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Choc Chip and Blushing Bride. So pretty. She has a vintage look with a little bit of bling in the "Vintage Vogue" style flowers and nav bar. The Marina Mist flourish in the banner (which is echoed in the sidebar buttons) is inspired by the Kind Thoughts Brocade in the Definitely Decorative catalog.
Suzanne is a customer of Amy Celona at www.websbyamy.com
