New school logo - done!

I worked up this logo for Morning Glory Academy last week. They're a school that works with homeschooling families to round out their education experience. Essentially, this was a pretty quick initial design, followed up with some tweaking and tidying to reach the final product. It was simple, and Leslie was great to work with.

Sew Many Creations - new banner, return customer

Chrissy has a new blog to go with her embroidery website (http://www.sewmanycreations.net/) and wanted a coordinating banner. This was a first-try design. I just reversed the colors from her website and we were ready to go. Chrissy is a return customer, and I loved working with her. Thanks, Chrissy!

ETA: I also whipped up a signature for Chrissy at her request to go with her new banner. Love those little dots/bubbles of color!

Copy Cat Originals - banner

For this project, I worked with return customer, Chinwe. She's got a new business of copy writing/editing, and wanted a custom look. She wanted a cat with a book and otherwise, left it up to me. I am so pleased with this design, and Chinwe is too! This is one of those designs that got done in one try. Thanks, Chinwe for your return business! Good luck with your new endeavour.

Henny Designs - new banner / watermark

Helen, an artist with a new site, wanted a clean look utilizing her existing logo. For the most part, the logo needed to have a color pallette that didn't compete with the colorful artwork she creates.


She also wanted a watermark to help protect her images when posting them online. Again we used her existing logo for continued uniformity in her designs.

Jose - Soccer Banner

Jose has a blog about U.S. major league soccer for Spanish speakers. Wanting to give it a look that was more his own, he came to me for a custom banner.

The thing I love most about this banner is the crowd in the background. Previously in my design there was just blue sky, but it was Jose's suggestion to have the fans included since fans are who would visit his blog for information on Major League Soccer. I purchased a stock photo of a crowd of fans, tweaked it and dropped it in. It really gives this banner an extra sense of life!

I love working on stamping banners, but this was a fun divergence from the usual.

Belinda's duo banners

This was supposed to have gone up in September, but it didn't, and I got distracted from checking!

These banners were done for Belinda's two blogs, My Stampin' Pad and The Stampin' Buzz.

You can see that they look like the viewer has just moved to the left a little allowing for more of the pond scene to be shown. This allows the blogs to look similar, but have their own personality.

Belinda also ordered a watermark and a couple custom signatures one with the frog on the lilypad and one with well, a lily on the lily pad.

I'm sorry I don't have a copy of the watermark right now. I'm not at home with my files handy, but this gives you the idea of her overall project. This was a really fun project and Belinda was lovely to work with! Be sure to check out her blog(s). :)

Milk is the New Prada - new banner

Chinwe has a personal blog that she wanted to make hers through a design statement. She wanted the design to include images representing herself and her two boys.

As it turns out, "creating" people ... not so much my strong point. Enter stock imagery. The woman is from one image, the older boy is from another, and the baby is a copy/hybrid of the older boy's image and some digital drawing. The bottles are my design. Phew! This is a challenge I enjoyed.

She also has a clothing store and needed a watermark for her images.

I love the clean simplicity of this image. :)
