Looking for something sweet...

then look no further than this logo that I just finished up. Melanie Freeman contacted me about designing a logo and business cards for her new business, The Pink Cupcake. This sweet little cupcake was the perfect accent for her fun logo.

Dropbox

Need a way to share files between your work pc, home pc, and laptop? Need to send files to clients but they're too large to e-mail? Want to share photos with family members? Need a quick way to share music with friends?

is the answer!

Personally, I've used Dropbox since early 2010. I can upload files for my clients to Dropbox, send them the download link via e-mail, and that's it. No more worrying about if the file is to large for me to send or them to receive. I have created "private" folders that I share with specific friends or family members to share photos  and documents back and forth - now I don't have to create cds to send to people. I also have a folder that I use as an online back-up, just in case my two external hard drives would happen to fail, I've got my working files in one other location. All that versatility, and it's completely free!

So, what are you waiting for?

Use this LINK to sign-up, download and install Dropbox and we'll both get an extra 250mb, with a max of 8GB, of storage all for FREE.

Swept Up Logo Design...

Looking for custom logo design that fits your business needs as well as your time and budget needs? Then check out my "Swept Up Logo Gallery" to see many great logos that didn't make the cut for the client they were a concept for. These logos are still the same quality logos that you get from a custom design, they just weren't the chosen concept by a previous client. These designs are now available to you at a fraction of the cost of a custom logo design and only take a couple days from purchase to delivery.

Bernadette chose the logo design below and sent me the colors that she wanted to use along with her business name and this is what we ended up with.

Logos...they're not just for businesses anymore!

You can have a logo designed to be made into a rubber stamp to use on the back of your own stamped creations.

You can have a logo designed for your family and put them on a business card with your family contact info and emergency numbers. Or you can have one designed for a benefit to keep track of your helpers.

This logo was designed to put on t-shirts that everyone helping out with a benefit dinner would be wearing.

If you need a logo designed, pop me an e-mail with any questions you might have. We can get you set up with a great looking logo for your specific need!
