Cristie contacted me to overhaul her blog design.  She wanted her design to reflect on mastering the art of juggling it all or taming the circus beasts.  After much perusing of iStockphoto, she found this acrobat and I designed around it.

I also made this cute button for her to use to promote her site.

Molly wanted a professional design, and she decided to go for the whole kit and caboodle.  She got Package C so she got a coordinating header for her review blog, business cards, as well as media buttons and a patterned background and a nice clean nav bar.  And her blog redesign, of course!  It was her idea to do something with five, and I found this image of the hands.  Take a peek.

We coordinated a header for her review blog, and she got a button and media buttons to coordinate. Her business card turned out cute too!

Vicky contacted me to move her blog from WordPress.com to Blogger and to overhaul the design.  She had this photo a friend had taken of her on the sidebar of her former blog, and I encouraged her to use it for her header.  She also had this logo made (another friend — girl’s got talented friends!) so we put the two together.  Then she found the argyle pattern, and I matched the colors and made it into a repeating design.  Voila!

She also got a PR button (it was her idea to use the martini glass as a backdrop, and I love it!) and media icons and business cards.

Beth was ready for an updated blog design, and this time she wanted to use photos of her kids outside.  I just love the colors so we kept the design elements simple.

Then we made this cute button to go with it.

Nicole was so pleased with Banana Blueberry that she decided to get a makeover for Household Tips as well!  Take a look!

My friend Moriah asked me to redesign her blog.  I did her first header, and it was fun working with her again.  This time we went with blues.  Take a look!

She also got this cute button.

Jacqueline contacted me to make over her blog, and we thought the image of this girl captured her tagline perfectly.  We jazzed it up with some other accents and then she got a fancy nav bar as well as coordinating social media icons, button and signature.

Laura contacted me to make over her new blog.  She was rebranding and wanted her new design to reflect her family.  We found this graphic and tailored it to her liking.

I also made her this cute coordinating button.

My fellow Tastemaker competitor, Jodi, asked me to redesign her review blog, Mom’s Favorite Stuff.  She had this graphic, and she wanted a new color scheme.  This is what we came up with.  Isn’t it adorable!?

And then these buttons:

I met Stacey of Mamalaw when we both found ourselves stranded at Blissdom due to a huge snowstorm in the Mid-Atlantic region a few weeks ago.  Meeting her was one of the best parts about staying in Nashville for an extra day.  It’s hard to believe that we wouldn’t have met otherwise.

When we got home, she contacted me to redesign Mamalaw.  She had a new logo, so I worked the design around that.  Take a look.

I created the header and button around the logo, and then I color coordinated this subtle patterned background to compliment them.  We did a fancy nav bar with coordinating buttons, and then we also did custom sidebar titles.  There are new facebook and twitter buttons, and each contributor got a signature.  Finally, they got a new Twitter page.  I’d say that’s a full blown makeover!
