Read in a Faery world - Custom Layout

Kate runs a sweet BookBlog, wanted a green package with rating system and she wanted something dark but still magic. We discussed for a very long time about what she really wants and looked at a few kits but truly, non of the kits from my awesome designers fit Kate's needs. After I realized this I went into the deeps of my files and searched at my favorite vector files pages iStock and ShutterStock and finally got it right for Kate *sighs in relief*

Kate choose this sweet girl for the header at ShutterStock and I found the cute dog for her. I added the Faery in the header and some magic looking elements from MK designs and Kimla. ( Both are just the perfect source for something truly magic).For the rating we took the classic (but perfect for her layout) star-rating. In the end I'm really happy with the layout and I love it a lot!!

Alice meets Chocolate fabric - Custom Layout

Honesty, this layout is awesome and I so adore this one! I told Donna if she doesn't want it I would keep it for myself, but well... there was no way to make a deal with her *giggles*

Donna runs a BookBlog called "Bites" and she's just fantastic and she contacted me for a green package plus rating system. After a few discussions she feel in love with the TeaTime kit from MK Designs.

Alice meets Tim Burton, cute and a bit creepy that was the goal! She also loved the girl, so we took her for the header. Donna wanted a dark blog so I went with the brown colors from the kit and worked from there on . I adore this header, it's very detailed. But this kit from MK designs is just like a candy machine for a designer since there are so many wonderful unique and creative elements to work with . I love how it looks like it's coming out of the blog ( does that makes sense lol?) and we took this look for the rating:

It was just plain fun working with her on this design. This blog is also the first one ever that got a Linkbar which is in the upper part of the header and not like usual below, but it worked so much better with this design that I was glad Donna let me do this!

Please, go and visit Donna's Blog live, it's truly worth it.

(and I adore her posts!!!)

Wonderland of papercrafts - Custom Layout

This was such a sweet and lovely layout and working with Lisa was so easy going, it was awesome! Lisa got a pink package and it was clear from the beginning which kit she wants.

One of the most awesome kits ever, TeaTime from MK Designs!

She loved the Alice in Wonderland feeling and loves Tea so it was clear where to go with the design! I especially love the rabbit ;)

Portfolio Updates - The magic world of MK designs!

I realized I haven't updated my Portfolio with those two blogs I did some time ago for two of my Blogger Friends. Both of the Layouts are truly unique with kits from MK Designs

For afragilelittlehuman we used MK designs "Thoughts kit" which is truly unique and wonderful!

She got a green package and I designed a truly special header for her! Sometimes ideas just pop up when I look at the kits. I asked fragile if it was OK to try a few things and she let my just do what I had in my head: This is what came out!

Go and see fragiles layout live!!!

Bex is also a Bloggy friend and I designed already the layout for her main blog, this however is the blog that goes with her FanFiction story. We really had some problems nailing the look of her layout and we started 3 times? lol yes we did!

Finally she choose this kit

Zauberkarussel from MK Ddesigns and this is what we got

We created a blog in brown red and orange and I truly love with what we finally came up with.

I love the colors and the font we used for the Linkbar, it's called " Riesling" and hey, I love good wines hehe!

The magic Custom Layout

This is a design for a blog where mother and daughter post Book and Reviews together. Since, it was a surprise for her daughter Suzie wanted something dreamy and magic. She choose the G'Night Sweetheart kit from Vera Lim since both of them also love purple so much! So we focused on making a dreamy and magic layout!


The elements found in this kit are perfect for her wish and so I started on this layout. Suzie was so easy and wonderful to work with because basically she just loved what I did, which I truly appreciate! I extremely love the sweet like firefly for the sidebar titles and the clocks with the wings! Since they will post reviews I also created a rating system for them: Classically we used stars but with this layout they just go perfect together

So please go and check out his blog live!

Suzie became a truly good friend over the last month and

I love the idea that she's blogging together with her daughter and

that they read the same books!

Mindful Musings sweet Custom Layout

Natalie from Mindful Musings was the second winner of the giveaway we hosted at the Bewitched Bookworms last month. After discussing what she could want and what she would like we came up with a vector girl from shutterstock and I proposed this kit together with the girl to create a lovely light blog layout. The kit is from the super talented bisontine and called Spring Love. This kit is super sweet with all the hearts and birds:)

I'm thrilled that Natalie was one of the winners, since I truly love her blog a lot.

Together we created an unique layout for her. Including a wavy linkbar that matches the header. For the background we took a background found at shutterstock and I love the wavy and swirly layout we finally came up with!

I also created a rating system for her Book reviews and she choose one of the hearts we found in the kit:

It was super easy and great working with Natalie on this design and I'm just happy she loves the new style of her blog!

Wickedly awesome layout - Custom Layout

Time for an Portfolio Update, Stacy ( or Wicked Walker) was lucky enough to win one of my Custom Layouts at the big Bookworm Party last week. I', so glad she won, because she was soo easy to work with, it was amazing. We started chatting right after I send her an mail that she won the layout and soon it was clear what we want to do for her. She wanted a dark blog and so she choose Joifa's Bright Night kit!

After I showed her the first draft it wasn't much to change to make her happy, which is pretty cool! As I said she was easy going! We played a bit around with the right font, which often is the most complicated part but then we finally had it. We incorporated a Comic Girl from one of my favorite designers at iStock and I just made the girl wicked by giving her some devil horns:) I think it looks pretty cool!

And since Stacy is a BookBlogger and also needs a cool rating system I created som rating pictures for her.

Honestly, aren't they perfect for her? Those cute little hearts with devil horns and a tail?? cuteness!It was the most fun working with Stacy! :)

Ok but now, please go and see the layout live,

it really turned out awesome!
