Encourage a Child - new banner

Merri has a new website and needed a fun banner. I LOVE these little stick kids that I bought a file of online. I just think they're so cute. Once I found them, the banner came together in a flash.

Thank you for choosing to work with me, Merri!

Stamping Kim has a new banner and watermark

Kim wanted a banner in blues, and that's what she got! I think this is a quietly elegant banner, without being too imposing (sort of sounds like a wine review, huh?).

I don't think her blog is live yet, so I'm not including a link, but Kim, if I'm wrong, and you want a link, please email me, or comment, and I'll update as needed!

Name frames by Jeanine

My friend, Jeanine, is selling Name Frames in a boutique near her home. Looking to personalize a blog with samples, she asked if I'd help her by making a banner for her. I really like how this turned out, and love the fabrics that I used to make up the "designer paper" backgrounds on each letter's mat.

Elaine (from Scotland!) has a new banner and watermark

This lovely cow is a resident of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and her photo was taken by Elaine. I was worried about how I'd work it out when she wanted swirls with the cow, but once I thought of the swirls as more "misty" that helped considerably!

We also worked up a watermark for Elaine.

Thanks, Elaine, for choosing me for your design!

Wellness Creative has a new banner

I'm busy filling a card order (in between banner/watermark designs) so I won't go on too much, but this is Stacey's new banner that I wanted to show you! We had to try several times, but we've finally made it! :)

Stacey picked these pictures and asked me to lay them out, and that's just what we did. Thanks for choosing to work with me, Stacey.

New look for Kulesa Design for spring

You may have noticed that I posted a new banner for myself today. This banner took hardly any work because, well, it was one of my customer's rejects. :)

See some similarity between mine and Cassie's? Yep, these branches started out for her. While we went cleaner for her doodles, I loved the bright scallops and the crab apple blossoms for spring, so I just dropped my text on top (only took about 15 minutes to rework this banner for MY use) and copied the branches so they'd be on both sides of the banner.

Happy spring!

Cassie has a fabulous new banner

Crafter Cassie has a new hand-drawn banner in place on her brand new blog. I didn't draw the words, but everything else on there was created just for Cassie. The bird was a specific request, and I probably drew 7 birds before settling on this one to use on her banner. When I showed it to her, it was love at first sight! :) She was so great too about sending me photos of fabric samples as examples of styles or colors until we got to just what she wanted.
