Amanda at DudeMom.com came to me wanting a new look. She was moving away from parenting BY dummies.

I helped her move her site over to the new branding and designed a brand new site for her. Complete with her logo on the top right, completely different than a traditional site.

It features fresh, clean lines, a blue/grey color palette and an overall Dude Mom chic-ness.

Both of my girls are getting really good at writing, and I wanted to capitalize on that. I thought it would help them to have a fill-in-the-blank thank you card with enough space for them to write what the gift was, who got it for them and sign their cards. And, I wanted to space to be big enough for our 4 year old to write it out.

I’m sharing, too because I think they are cute and fun and easy! There are two on a regular 8.5 x 11″ piece of paper. I recommend printing it on cardstock or thicker paper, but regular would work! Click on the image to be taken to the pdf where you can save it and print at your leisure!

Enjoy.

I wanted to make a little something for my girls to hold up and fill out for the first day of school. I’m going to try to remember to do it every year and put it in a notebook and then I can give it to them when they graduate!

Enjoy this free back to school printable.

*Once you get there, click the link and the pdf will open. Print it or save it for later (or pin it and save it on one of your boards)!

Have you started thinking about Christmas/Holiday cards?  It’s time!

I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and create a custom card for you and your family.  I can have it printed and mailed to you, or I can do a digital file and you can take it to your favorite printing place.

If you’d like to have them printed, I will offer free shipping on any order of 100 cards or more!

Let me know how I can help.

Carrie started a brand new blog: A Sassy Redhead and wanted to start with a custom look right away!  She was so fun to work with right from the start.  She knew she wanted pink and animal prints, specifically zebra.

And, even though she thinks she doesn’t photograph well, her tiara and red hair speak form themselves!  Of course, we had to use her “trademark” picture in the header to let everybody know just who she is.

Head over and check out her new site and leave her some love.  She’s hilarious and I’m sure she’ll have you laughing before you finish a post!

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally improved Krizzy Designs for your needs.  I think it’s more functional and easy to find exactly what you are looking for!

I hope you love the new look and the ease of navigation, but please let me know if you can’t find something or don’t understand something, etc.

Also, you’ll see that I’ve updated the prices for blogger and WordPress designs.  I find that I’m taking more and more time to make each site perfect and wonderful and thus have adjusted my pricing accordingly.

However, these prices don’t start until November 1st!  So, get on the waiting list now to lock in the previous prices (blogger starting at $75 and WordPress.org starting at $150).  It will also be good to get on the list before Christmas and holiday card season (which is quickly approaching).

You all know I wouldn’t be here without each and every one of you, so I thank you for your wonderful support and all of your business and referrals.  I look forward to working with you!

I’ve got an adorable, simple and chic WordPress.org template available, and I’ve got it for a deal!

Here’s the beauty.

What’s included?
-this customized thesis template (header, background, fun font, etc)
-custom grab button
-custom signature
-3-4 custom social buttons to match (your choice.  examples: facebook, twitter, rss, email, youtube, etc)
-2 sidebars on the right
-installation on your wordpress blog

Do, what’s the deal?  This is a $160 value, but it’s all yours for $100 and I can get it installed this week!  So, who wants this beauty?  Shoot me an email, or get in touch on facebook or twitter, I want to give this design a new home.

Here are 10 rules of minimalist designs to make an outstanding website design.

{I’ve been waiting for about two months to finally tell everybody, but I’m ready to announce it!}

This summer, things are going to be different for me.

I’m going to be home working on your designs FULL TIME!

Blog designs (blogger and wordpress), twitter pages, logos, greeting cards, birth announcements, business cards and more.  If you can dream it, I can make it happen.

If you want to move from blogger to wordpress, we can do that, too!

Just send me and email and let me know what you are wanting to do.  The sky’s the limit.  I can’t even imagine all I will be able to accomplish working more than just nights and weekends.

So, get on my waiting list now before things get super busy!

WordPress users have fun plugins and options to help them keep a back up file of their site (like WP-DB-Backup Plugin.)

But, did you know you can back up your blogger site, too?

Please, go do it now.  Log into your blog, then go to Settings -> Basic -> Export Blog.  Save the file to your computer.  If your blog explodes or gets deleted, you still have everything.

Depending on how often you blog, depends on how often I would save that file.

Another option for saving your posts, is to compose them in Windows Live Writer.  It’s like composing your posts in a document writer which you link up with blogger.  Pictures and videos are easier to add, and it saves a copy of your posts, too (if you chose to do so).

Yay! The font issues have been resolved. 

It was definitely not a fun thing (trust me, you should have seen all of the people with issues), so I’m very glad it’s been resolved.

Thank you to those of you that brought it to my attention.

Happy blogging.
