A few more recent designs...

I've been keeping quite busy lately, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!



Julie and Debbie - Thanks so much for allowing me to work with you on your logos.
You were both great to work with! I wish you both luck in all you do!

Blogger Designs

So many people want a blog that stands out from all the plain templates, but don't have the time or the patience to figure out how to customize things on blogger...if that sounds like you, then let me customize your blog for you. For a short time, I will be offering Blogger blog set-up and design at a discount. Backgrounds, blog headers, links, colors, etc. (This service is only for Blogger blogs. Logo design is not included in this service.)

Here are a couple samples of custom blogs:



Jordan's blog uses a design that she found on istock or dreamstime. The design was rearranged and customized to fit the needs of her blog. I also designed a coordinating blog header to go with her new blog design.

Both of Natalie's blogs use a background that was customized with the flourishes and colors from her logo. The second blog (bottom) also has a custom e-mail link. Both blogs have a custom header featuring her logo and photos.

Work From Down Under

Vacation...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be out of town (with limited internet access) until Monday, June 30, so I will be returning e-mails and calls at that time. Sorry for any convenience this may be causing, but a girl's gotta get away sometime, right? Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Fresh and Fun

Patty contacted me the other day to design her photography logo and a watermark to match it. She was looking for something that was fresh and fun; something that didn't have tons of flourish or floral; Something simple but with a touch of vintage to it.

The bright colors in her logo are very fresh and fun and the distressed font gives the simple layout just the right amount of vintage.

Swept Up Logos

Yes, I've been very busy lately working on logos, among other things, and yes, my waiting list seems to be growing by the minute. I'm still accepting new clients for design work, but if you don't feel you can wait, I might just have a solution for you...

As you know, it usually takes more than one try to get a logo perfect and ready to go for a client. Along the way, many great design concepts are cut to the design room floor. Well, I've swept up those logos and decided to try to find them a home. The solution, the Swept Up Logo Center - providing quality logo designs to those who need them quickly! Does this mean that everyone will have the same logo as you...no, it simply means that if you like any of the logo designs in the collection of Swept Up Logos, then you can purchase it. The logo then becomes unavailable to anyone else. I will then customize the logo with your business name and change the colors to suit your needs. (No other changes will be made to the design.)

Swept Up Logos are available for only $80.

a design for brown...

Melissa Brown, of Springfield, Illinois, contacted me about designing her logo. She was looking for a logo that was appealing to both young and old alike. Something that was simple enough to use on everything. She also requested a coordinating watermark for her photos and back of cards. Here is the design we finalized last night...


I used brown to play off of her last name and her favorite color is blue, so we had to add it into the mix. The best thing is that this logo has a variety of simple variations that she can use depending on the promotional piece she's using it on.

Could it be Gold?

Nah, but it is some beautiful jewelry! I was thrilled when I was asked to work with Kimberly Smoot Photography to create a logo, business cards and website for this wonderful company.
Elizabeth and Victoria sell beautiful jewelry and accessories with a portion of proceeds going to the Children's Miracle Network.

The website is designed to compliment her business cards. It displays her jewelry and accessories on a crisp, white background with gorgeous hot pink accents.

We've even set up a blog with a header that mirrors the website design.
