Flying Dreams of a Happy Reader - Custom Layout

I was contacted from Len to do a Custom Layout and she came up with a bunch of kit's she liked, However, there was one she was so in love with and although it wasn't one of my designers (yet) I agreed to contact the designer. Because, just like Len I fell in love with this kit and desperately wanted to work with it. It was the Flying Dreams kit from Lorie Davidson Designs and as you can read here she afterwards agreed to let me use all of her kits for Blog Design.

Once I started with this layout I was in love with this designer, her creativity is immense and it was a pleasure working on this design. Len also was happy right away with what I showed her and so this is what we've done together:

New and exclusive designer : Lorie Davidson's!

Remember when I was so happy that Irene allowed me to work with her kits? I was beyond happy, she made an exception for me. ..

Something similar happened today: A client showed me a kit from Lorie Davidson and asked me if we could ask her for permission since she fell in love with this kit and desperately wanted her Blog done with this kit.

Honestly, admire this awesomeness!!!

I contacted Lori asking if she would allow me to use her kit for this blog - she never allowed something like this but apparently liked the Blog's I've designed so far that we worked out a license... *big squee moment*

After I finished this blog I showed her the blog and asked (maybe begging was involved) if I could add her to my list of designers since I'm so pretty sure people will love her work. She's is an amazing designer and I bow my head when I see her designs.

Since I can only post a tiny collection of her work,

please go and visit her shop

and let her work inspire you!!

In the end, I'm only as good as the designs I'm working with.

So I'm constantly searching for unique designers and

I'm pretty proud to have such

an exclusive collection!!

A Novel Process - Custom Layout

This was a design I did recently for Karin who wanted her blog to keep track on her writing progress. She wanted bright colors and also a Comic-Me in her header. Unfortunately the kit she wanted first was not available anymore since the designer stopped working but we found this pretty kit from Niki Beaudreau called Falling for you.

Karin especially loved the red striped background and I have to say it looks awesome as a background. Plus. I had to do some adjustments of the Comic-Girl. She got blue glasses and

I modified the shirt to match the layout.

She also got a wavy Linkbar and we made some nice sidebar title images.
