We went off of the colors in her website background and she ended up loving the version with the birds. We had a blast making this web header for her! Christy told us, "I love the one with the birds - and the store name really shows up well! I just love it. I love the scroll frame "LuLu Belle" is in too - exactly what I wanted. I've already uploaded it to my site - perfect fit just as it is!! I'm now dying to see what you come up with for the button.
Thank you! You did a wonderful job!!" Go to her live website here!

Christy's initial blog template was cute to begin with, but didn't really match her site content. She wanted to incorporate the image of the piggy bank on books and use all the colors found in it as well. We tried a couple of headers before deciding on the final product. Christy was fun to work with and told us, "Everything is absolutely perfect! I love it, and I am thrilled with how it turned out. I really appreciate all of your hard work. I am very happy with the way it looks, you guys did such an amazing job. It has exactly the look I wanted. Thanks a ton!" Click here to visit the blog live (and get some good coupons)!

Client: Cara Hromada Photography

Cara actually didn't have a blog to begin with but she wanted one to match her website. Her website was dark so we used the black minima template to build off of. She also wanted a different background to differentiate from her website a bit so we incorporated the lace. Cara's reaction? "Ohhhh yeah! I love it! I think it looks fantastic!"

Process:

We started out with a darker overall look based on the example sites Jeannine sent us but soon figured out that she wanted a lighter look. That's when we went for the corkboard look which turned out to be right on. We kept the TV image from her original blog and just cleaned it up a bit. Everything was supposed to look as if it was torn from a magazine or just pinned up haphazardly on a corkboard. She was very satisfied with the transformation and told us, "Looks great! Thank you so much! You did a great job in answering all my needs. Love it love it love it-thx!" You can see her blog here.

Update:
We did an update for chudleyvision with a new white linen background and a blog button!

Considering you don't know me, you did an AWESOME job in basically capturing what I was looking for, so thank you...Everything looks SO good and I am SOOOO happy with it - thanks!"
