The Architect and the Artist ~ Blog Design

Debbie from The Architect and the Artist had an idea of how she wanted her design to look so we set off in search of some graphics that would fit in with her ideas. Fotolia turned out to be a great help and we merged a few graphics together for the header image of a tree on an easel.

Using colors from the header image, I pulled together the rest of the blog colors, focusing on pinks and greens.

I absolutely LOVE the blog sidebar buttons using the paintbrushes from the header image…

And the cute sidebar button too!

2:1 Conference ~ Website Graphics

Before I started on her personal blog makeover, Cheryl from Somewhat Crunchy asked me to put together some graphics for the 2:1 Conference ~ a homeschoool mom’s blogging conference.

Along with the header for the website, I also put together a variety of buttons for both attendees and speakers:

The 2:1 Conference will be held in Northern VA from April 27-29th. You can find out more about the conference on the 2:1 Conference website, including a list of speakers and sponsors. I’m excited to be joining the team of speakers!
