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 good friend Heather over at Home Ec 101 decided to spiff up her site, and she asked me to help her with her header.  Here’s what we came up with.

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:

Jenny contacted me to give her a custom design for her Blogger blog.  She wanted an image that represented her and her two kids and she wanted it simple and clean — my specialty!  We found this graphic and I altered it a bit to better resemble her family.  I love taking stock images and customizing them so no one else has the exact same image.

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.

Jaime is a longtime client/friend.  She contacted me to pretty up her newest blog.  She wanted something neat and simple, and she chose this iStock photo.  I took care of the rest.

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!

Amy wanted a blog design with the Ichthys, and after much searching, we found this one that we both loved.  She got a total blog makeover for Blogger, as well as customized category links for her sidebar.  Take a look!

Nell contacted me to help her design her new healthy eating website, Crunchy Pea.  She found this graphic, and I designed the header.  Cathy over at Desperately Seeking Wordpress took care of Wordpress installation.  I’d say we work well together, wouldn’t you?
