New Custom Header for Beautiful Blog Designs

While I love using free templates, I was getting tired of the pink and green bubbles. So, Summer of Designs by Summer whipped up this gorgeous header for me and I am simply thrilled with it!

It's amazing how much a beautiful header can enhance a blog!

Now, please excuse the mess around here, though, as I will be moving things for a little while as I tweak the template (changing out from the Made by Madeline to a plain three column template). Also, I will be experimenting with colors for the background, thanks to a great post by "Old Dame" Penniwig.

Wondering how you can tweak your template, too? Simply go to one of the sites I mentioned in the post before this, or that are listed in the left sidebar. You can do it!

Special Note: Just noticed the header overlaps some of the text when viewed in Internet Explorer (I have been using Firefox more lately). I am working on fixing this problem.

Custom Header Giveaway - Winner

The winner of the custom header giveaway is Stacie from The Natural Way. She has another blog also, Simply Stacie, which already has a lovely header and adorable background. If you have time, check out both her blogs.

Good news, though, That Blog Place is also offering $5 of any header that is ordered! Simply choose the background you want the header designed for and put it in your shopping cart. When you check out enter the code FAB5.

Congratulations, Stacie!!! I can't wait to see what they do for you!

First Blog Designer Review - Designs by Summer

I have to start somewhere and I decided to start with Designs by Summer. I came across her site when I was reading someone's blog (honestly I cannot remember which one). After reviewing her portfolio, I was impressed by both the quality of her designs and the price for her services. The phrase she uses is "Beautiful Designs, Wallet Friendly Price," and she is spot on.

Summer is a self taught designer, who had her start with digital scrapbooking first, which turned into blog design after teaching herself about HTML and CSS. Examples of her work can be seen by going to iMommy, or Org Junkie's Product Reviews.






Prices for new blog design are set by package and range from $35 to $100. She also can make headers (ex: Inspired Mama Musings above), buttons, signatures, awards, Etsy banners and avatars for $3 to $15.

My personal blog, Moving Forward, needed a face lift in a major way. The template I am using is a free one, and beautiful, but it does not fit my personality. Last week I contacted Summer to design a new template just for me. I will share the new site (and button) once the template is up and running.
