Chic & Sassy Designs

A little about the Designer

With this website, I have managed to combine two of my loves: illustration and the internet. Bored with my premade blogger template, I began to research blog design and drew my own. Soon after, many of my friends asked me to create a design for them as well and this is how this website came to be! Now, during my free time I create sassy and chic illustrations for your blog. My main goal is to help bloggers express themselves through every aspect of their blogs. Enjoy browsing through the template section and feel free to ask me any questions. Have a pleasant visit!

Custom designs: I am currently only taking custom demands that involve a bought picture from istockphoto.com. Please read the following post for further details!

My latest beauty designs

2009-11-14T18:04:00.000-08:00

It seems I'm pretty popular among beauty/makeup bloggers because all my recent designs fall into that theme!!! I am quite proud of myself to have been able to create different designs all on the same theme with similar requests and needs and yet each of these three designs have their own unique feel and beauty. It was actually quite hard to accomplish!

I am Busy but...

2009-09-24T16:57:00.000-07:00

Due to the large amount of emails saying it's a pity I am not making custom demands at this time I decided to modify my "NO CUSTOM" statement because I do have some free time but not as much as I used to...
So, I will make you a custom design if and only if we can find a suitable picture to use from istockphoto.com or vectorstock.com
This means that I will not draw you a custom picture but will modify a bought one (colors, hairstyle and clothes to a certain degree) to fit your theme and of course make you a template to fit your requirements.
This will allow me to be able to breathe a little between work and blog making and hopefully still create wonderful designs for all of you!!!

If you are interested read my design process article and email me your answers. Check out the sites named above yourself to see if you find any pics... do not worry I'll also check on my side and propose a few that would work for your theme and/or vision. Also, tell me a price range for the bought pictures that you are willing to pay that way I won't pick one that's too pricey for you!

Way too busy!!!!

2009-09-22T15:22:00.000-07:00

Sorry everyone,
I will no longer take any custom demands until Xmas! My schedule at my day job is just way too packed for me to do much of anything else.
I will probably every now and then add a new premade or two to the template section. So do check it out ... it does contain some nice designs!!!
Feel free to send in suggestions for premade designs. I may not be able to schedule you for a design (meaning I have no idea when I'll actually make it) but I usually make all the suggestions I receive!

Of course you may always email me for a custom design in the off chance I have some spare time but if I haven't replied to you in a day ... it's because I'm way too busy and you should request the services of another designer.

Problems commenting on blogger blogs?

2009-08-10T06:06:00.000-07:00

Have you had issues commenting on blogger blogs that have the comments form embedded below the post? Yes! It seems blogger has not tested properly the new preview your comment feature has of yet. This issue occurs when the comment form asks you to verify a word to make sure you are a human and not a spamming bot. It seems they didn't make the preview big enough to fit the word verification so it cuts off making one unable to hit the publish button.
For the time being, blog owners that wish to keep using the comment form.... simply disable the word verification and turn on the moderation feature if you are worried about spam. The other option is to switch back to either the pop up comments or the blogger full page comment option. I have no idea when this will be fixed! Hopefully soon!!!

***** UPDATE*****
those with my template who have been suffering from this problem email me I can fix it by updating the blogger comment-form code!

Premade designs

2009-07-16T10:29:00.001-07:00

I know, I know... I'm pretty busy... it's summer and I take some time off a little more than usual so I take less custom demands. A girl needs a break once in a while!
Please visit the template section and the available premade designs for purchase. I have some in all sort of themes. I'm also currently making a new mother and baby design where the mother is singing her baby to sleep on a rocking chair!!! It should be available shortly... I'm almost done!

Also I'd like to point out when it comes to premades you can always request a different color skin, eyes and hair in order to match yourself more closely. I always accept these requests and it's free too... I may accept other modifications but ask first it largely depends on the design and your request!
