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.

Jaime wanted a design that was simple and serene.  She picked out the house icon, and I built the design around it.  She also got social media icons and a fancy category list.  Check it out!

Janna had a fun new idea for a blog to encourage us to go back to our youth and once a week for 15 weeks share short random stories of our youth, starting with birth and ending with graduation.  She even has prizes including a Flip Ultra camcorder, so be sure to join in the fun!

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!

Kristen contacted me to design her blog from scratch.  She wanted a look that is elegant and timeless and a bit whimsical.  She fell in love with this graphic and I designed her site around it.

Elaine wanted to spiff up her blog design, using the same photo she already had, and then a few template tweaks to personalize her site.  Here is what we did.

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.

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!

Mel is a longtime blogging buddy of mine, and I was delighted when she asked me to help her with her design.  She had the image of chocolate already purchased, but it wasn’t the right dimensions for a header so I worked my magic and came up with this!  She also wanted a touch of color that she can change with the seasons.  We went with green for St. Patrick’s Day, and we’ll change it up when she’s ready for something new.

She also got a 3rd column, a horizontal nav bar, a blog button and a siggy too.  And we personalized the design a bit more with that delectable piece of chocolate beside her blog titles.  Finally, I did some custom social networking buttons for her.  Check out the rss, twitter, and email icons.  These are the newest addition to the blog design services that I offer.  She also got a new Twitter page.

Sandy won a free blog design through Fresh Year, Fresh Start.  She used this as an opportunity to give her blog a fresh start with a new name and a new look.  This is what we came up with!
