Adventures in Mommydom ~ Blog Makeover

I met Ticia from Adventures in Mommydom through blogging and have been participating in her Science Sunday posts for some time, so I was VERY excited when she asked me to do a makeover on her blog!!

We looked around for graphics for a bit and finally found a super cute clip art set from MyGrafico called Cute Heros and went from there! Here’s a look at some of her new graphics.

Header


Sidebar Titles


Blog Buttons {are they not CUTE??!}

And a header for her Science Sunday landing page ~ I absolutely love it!!

Shhhh!! Don’t tell, but this was one of the MOST fun redesigns that I’ve done. I fully enjoyed each step of this process and seeing the end result {and other’s reactions} was great! Thanks so much, Ticia for letting me work on your blog!!

Blog, She Wrote ~ Blog Makeover

Heather from Blog, She Wrote wanted a full makeover for her site. She wanted to have the graphics and text with the ‘feel’ of the old Murder, She Wrote show. I absolutely LOVE the typewriter we found and the colors she picked to go along too.

For the sidebar titles we just did something simple, but matching the header…

Didn’t her blog button turn out cute?

Thanks so much, Heather! I had much fun working with you and love the new look! Be sure to pop over her way and say hi!

The Homeschool Village ~ Header Update

Stef from The Homeschool Village asked me to update their website header…'slim’ it down a bit and add in the site’s theme verse, 1 Thessalonians 5:11. She wanted to keep the familiar graphic of the village in the header too, so that the theme from the prior header carried over.

Here is the finished result:

LOVE it!! Thanks for letting me help freshen it up!

Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers ~ Business Cards

Kris from Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers is a friend of mine {now in real life too} and after we both attended the Relevant Conference this year, we talked about putting together some new business blog cards for her.

The front design was based on her current blog button ~ a ‘warning’ sign look. Her website name as well as her blog tag were include on the front image.

The back of the card carries over the red stripe design along with her full name {I know the below image only shows her first name, but her full name is on her real card ~ grins}. She wanted her picture on the card and we included key info on how to reach her: website, email, facebook, and twitter information.

The corners on the card were rounded after printing and gave it an extra fun little touch. Cute, no?

I found a GREAT company to work with ~ GotPrint.com and she was able to order 500 rounded corner business cards for $30 {and that included s/h}! The cards were printed on heavy stock with a gloss finish.

The result? She loved them!!

“I got my business cards yesterday.  They turned out GREAT!!  Even Brian and the kids were impressed.  Thanks so much for the great job you did on them!”

Daze of Adventure ~ Blog Makeover

Bright and bold colors…and a design that I am completely in love with! Jennifer from Daze of Adventure contacted me a little bit ago to make over her blog and after looking and looking for graphics we found the cutest little car {from Fotolia}...which then set the course for the whole blog!

We kept much of her original layout in place, just tweaked the colors, some sizing and rearranged a bit. In addition to her new header, Jenn is sporting some cute new sidebar titles, top navigational buttons and a new blog button.

We also added some new social media buttons, so that she can share more with her readers.Jennifer was a DREAM to work with!! Be sure to stop by and visit her at Daze of Adventure to check out her new look up close and personal! Thanks so much Jenn!

Homegrown Learning ~ Blog Makeover

Crystal at Homegrown Learning loved the background pattern that she found on Pyzam and wanted to keep that in place with her blog redo {and it was definitely cute!}. I tweaked the template some to make the columns and colors more what she was looking for and more reader friendly {the background was burgundy and is now white, making it easier to read}.

I found a graphic in Microsoft clip art and also used some pictures of her boys to put a new header together for her.

I also put together some navigational buttons underneath her header along with some cute sidebar titles and a new blog button.

Thanks so much Crystal for working with me and letting me put a little more ‘you’ into your blog! :)

Fonts used in this re-design: Brady Bunch and CK Handprint

Giving Up On a Clean House {Blog Makeover}

Stacy at Giving Up on a Clean House asked for a blog redo and we found a great graphic in Microsoft clip art that I was able to tweak a bit to work for her header. As a mom she juggles many things ~ but her focus is to slow down and focus on what really matters ~ her family.

Once her header graphic was in place, the colors of her blog were based from the image. Her new blog look included a header, blog button, sidebar titles, new background and social media buttons.

Be sure to stop by and visit Stacy at Giving Up On a Clean House and check out her new look. She has two of the most beautiful children!! Thanks so much for working with my Stacy!
