Spoonflower Contest: Snow!

Spoonflower is an amazing company where users upload designs and the company turns them into beautiful fabrics, available for purchase by everyone!

We've finally decided to be brave and enter our first contest at Spoonflower. Theme: Snow.

I LOVE the Retro Snowflake Tree design I created in November and thought it would make a gorgeous fabric. I created 5 more colors for a total of 9 different colored trees. My awesome husband suggested placing some of the trees upside down. I made the background a very light blue and added larger, matching snowflakes for greater contrast and depth to the design.

Here's my entry image! (click image to view larger)


And here are a few closeups of my fabric design (click images to view larger):

Hyena Cart Coding for "Fishnoodles"

Dawn needed her Hyena Cart coding fixed so the layout would match her main site, her stat counter added, and her images uploaded to Photobucket.

I also created a cute little JoyfulRose icon (aka "favicon") as a freebie. :)

Here's her final HC layout:

Animated Banners for "Laines Magnifiques", Part 2

Here are Nicole's finished banners!

She wasn't too fond of her tag line, so I included a new header without the tag line for her. :)

Animated Banners for "Laines Magnifiques"

Nicole is introducing brand new colorways to her site! She asked if I could make a couple of banners for her with pics of her current colorways and a question mark to represent the upcoming colorways. :)

Here are the mock-ups. Each pair is the same, but with different backgrounds because I couldn't decide which I liked better!

Thanks again Sarah! I'd love to work with you again in the future.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday and what a wonderful year it's been!

Reflections...

I feel like I've grown a lot during the past year, both professionally and in my personal life. I've been learning how to better manage my time, improve my graphics design skills, and become more proficient in coding.

I've been enjoying spending more time with my family and am learning to have patience as we ttc our 3rd child. :) There will always be more to learn, but I'm thankful to have such a supportive family and a loving Heavenly Father who always watches out for me.

Saturday: Mom and Dad took us out to breakfast and then Mom watched the boys. I received beautiful roses and carnations from my fantastic husband, an awesome cake, heavenly couple's massage, & then we saw "Leap Year".

Today: Breakfast made by my amazing husband, went to Church with our sweet kiddos, relaxed at home for a bit, had my favorite Birthday dinner with my family, opened wonderful presents, and ate cake!

I'm a huge fan of CakeWrecks so my husband had a cake customized just for me. I call it the "coolest cake ever", and couldn't stop laughing when I saw it!

Click to view larger:

Note: He actually didn't want any sprinkles on the cake and asked for red accent frosting rather than brown, so it really is a CakeWreck! Teehee.

Looking forward to another wonderful year and to improving myself every day.

Tina :)

Animated Banners for "SEWsational Sarah", Part 2

Sarah loved the last banner I made for her and I was excited to have creative license for her last 2 banners. :)

First is a 120x60 size that fits the small button advertising on Hyena Cart. I made this one to match the first 468x60 banner I made for her.

Second is a 468x60 banner which is the standard web banner size. I had a lot of fun creating the "swirl" effect with her logo!

Hyena Cart Coding & Image Vectorization for "Alei-Noodle Knits"

Summer asked if I could help her with centering her coding and making the footer for her Hyena Cart match that of her Main Website.

I also thought it would be fun to see what her image would look like vectorized (basically, with cleaner, sharper lines).

Here are the before and after mock-ups. Click images to view larger. :)

Animated Banner for "SEWsational Sarah"

I love Sarah's header design! I wanted to incorporate it and make it "pop" a little to match the beautiful pictures of her sewn items.

Too much or just enough?
