Ms. Traci's New Blog Makeover

I had lots of fun creating this blog design for Ms. Traci. The kit, "Welcome to Paradise", made this design look so fun! I love all the tropical elements and the monkeys are so cute! Love 'em!


I hope you enjoy your new blog makeover, Ms. Traci! It was great working with you!

Ms. Sharla's New Blog Makeovers!

I was so excited when Ms. Sharla emailed me to help her with her new blog designs. She did a wonderful job designing the headers for both of her blogs and asked if I could do the template designs. I am so excited that I could help!

My family and her family met while adopting my baby brother and her daughter in China. Since then, our families have had so much fun getting to know each other.


She wanted me to design a template for both her family blog and photo blog. I was so excited! Her favorite colors are brown and aqua blue, and she loves butterflies. We both liked the idea of making the blogs coordinate.


For her family blog, she wanted to be able to post larger pictures, but she wanted to keep her sidebar. So, I came up with a way to have both. I gave her a wide place to post with a skinny sidebar.

Her photography blog was the first photoblog that I've designed! Since it is a photoblog, there is no sidebar leaving room for large photos. Instead, all the sidebar items are placed at the bottom of the blog in a three column footer. I love the ending result! Ms. Sharla is an amazing photographer and I can't wait to see all her photographs displayed on her new photoblog.

One of the things on her blog that I'm most excited about is the drop down navigation bar. That's right! I said, "drop down navigation bar." So cool!

The navigation bar keeps all of Ms. Sharla's great photos and journaling organized through different categories. I'm looking forward to following her family's life through her lens and through her amazing gift of writing.

I really enjoyed working with you, Ms. Sharla! I know you will bless others through your blogs.

Lots of new things!!

Hey Everyone!
Just letting you all know that I've got LOTS of new add-ons/extras for your blogs... navigation bars, blog buttons, rotating headers, and MORE! Also, I am now designing photo blogs and 3-column templates!!!! Go take a look {HERE}!

Love Without Boundaries


I am so excited that I was able to donate a blog design to Love Without Boundaries! In case you aren't familar with LWB, they provide the most loving care and help for orphaned and impoverished children in China. I love what they do. You can learn more about LWB at their website, http://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com/.



As it says on their website, this blog was created to be an interactive blog set up for you to give them your comments and feedback. They discuss issues around running a charity, adoption and parenting, as well as stories that inspire them.



Ms. Amy and Ms. Karen at LWB were so sweet! They picked out this cute digital scrapbook kit and sent me lots of pictures of children that they have helped! Each child was so precious, and their pictures brought tears to my eyes!


I also designed a blog button to go with their design! Go to their blog and grab their button for your sidebar!
