My {Kind of} Life
Marisa from My {Kind of} Life has recently debuted a new scrapbooking look for her blog. She selected the Bright Package along with a kit from Tracie Stroud, and I designed a clean, organized template for her site in a matter of days. I really love what the Bright Package offers - a great simple package that gives your blog a complete makeover minus the high price tag. Cuz, really, you don’t really need all that fancy-schmancy “clutter” for a blog – it can be distracting for your readers. Keep it simple. Keep it clean. And keep it affordable. That’s my motto.
Thanks for stopping by.

Balmain Beauty - images via iStockphoto.com
Last week was a busy week for me. Not only did I start a new job, but I also installed two new blog designs for clients. This first one is a modern design, using images from istockphoto.com. The client, Karen, decided to rebrand her fashion and beauty blog with a new name, Balmain Beauty.
Here’s what she had to say about the new title:
Balmain is a suburb in Australia where I lived for quite a few years and I was at my happiest living there and I hope to return so it means something to me.
and
Beauty for the blog, which encompasses nails, makeup, cosmetics, skincare etc.
With the rebranding of Karen’s blogger blog came a new Twitter page and Facebook page as well, and she’s linking to all those sites via custom media icons at the top of her sidebar (the best place to put them, if you didn’t know).
I love the simplicity & cleanliness of her design. My greatest pet peeve is a blog that looks cluttered, and so I strive to create designs that are neat and well-organized.
Come back later this week for another blogger design reveal.
Thanks for stopping by!
