Self-Imposed Summer Vacation

I want to thank you for considering me for your design work. Unfortunately, I cannot undertake any new projects until after August 1.

I take my design work and my customers' needs seriously. However, I am currently experiencing several circumstances in my personal life that are simply not making it possible to give the attention I would like to new projects. The major downside of these issues is that my creativity has been severely curtailed. I don't feel that you would be getting my best work.

Please understand that I would LOVE to work with you, but I understand that once you're ready for design work, you're excited to get going and any delay is likely to be a disappointment. If you are willing to wait for me to return to the business in August, I would like to offer you 10% off of any service over $15 or a free digital signature to coordinate with your design work. If you are interested in working with me in August, please send me an email and let me know whether you'd like the percentage off or the free signature image.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding and I hope to hear from you.

Blog banner - a summer edition

I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Pedro again to design a "summer style" banner for her blog. She has wonderful stamping projects that she shares and is just a nice person to be in contact with. :)

Joanne B. is going green

In addition to the regular treat of sharing her stamping creations, Joanne B. is starting a Sunday segment on things to do to be green.

I'm in favor of getting the word out there, so I made up a little banner to use for those posts and Joanne graciously accepted it. :)

Chrissy's Stampin Attic - new watermark and signature

Chrissy came for me to get a watermark (in light and dark versions like all my watermark customers). The name of her blog is Chrissy's Stampin' Attic, so when I started playing around, I came up with her design immediately - some designs just work that way!

For her digital signature, she liked Tara's signature from a few posts below, but wanted a primitive element included and suggested a button. So she got a cute little button with twine.

Simone Gabriel

This design has actually been complete for about 2 weeks, but I've been so busy, I'm just now getting to posting it! Simone in Germany has an online store and wanted a custom look. She sent me a sample of what she wanted it to look like and was so helpful about interacting with me so that I could get the right look for her!

She ordered a store banner, images to run down the side of the pages, a design team icon and watermarks. Phew! It was a big order, but we worked together and pulled it out. :)

Inkspired Treasures

This is Connie Babbert's new banner! I made a couple of versions for her to check out until we were able to finally create just what she was looking for. And we were in time for her new website launch!

Pressed Down and Shaken Together

This is a new banner for Angela's family blog. The title of her blog comes from a favorite Bible verse.

She had a photo of brown sugar in a measuring cup that she wanted to feature, and we were able to work it in. What a treat (pun intended) to work with such a yummy picture. :)
