Budget Savvy Diva
August 25, 2010 Filed Under Uncategorized
Sara from Budget Savvy Diva is my newest design. We started off with one design then we ended up with the design she has now. I have to say I was a little worried about the colors but after putting it all together I love the colors she chose. I also tried something new on her blog which is the social media buttons on the header. It was something I had wanted to try for quite sometime and I am so glad I did. I love how they turned out.
You can find her blog here.

TTBBB
May 25, 2010 Filed Under Portfolio
Top to Bottom Baby Boutique (TTBBB for short) is a blog all about cloth diapering. I have no children of my own so I had NO idea how big cloth diapering was. My idea of cloth diapering was a piece of cloth and 2 pins (you know like the old days). BOOOOOOOOOOOOY was I mistaken. The blog matches their store which you can find here and you can find the blog here.
Mrs Camera Happy

Mrs. Camera Happy, aka Victoria, wanted a fun blog. She is a photographer (a great one at that) and she wanted a place to show her work but also blog about her daily adventures. She chose an image from istockphoto and I recolorized, at no charge, to match her blog. I love the colors of this blog. Victoria, ordered a Single package which is 4 points and to me it was a perfect choice to keep it simple but get exactly what you want. If you would like to see her blog you can go here.
About Me
May 24, 2010 Filed Under About Me
My name is Angie and I am the owner of Strosgirl’s Designs. Strosgirl’s Designs started on a fluke. I was designing digital scrapbook kits and elements and I wanted to design my own blog. From what started as changing my blog layout every other week with a background image to totally redoing a blog is now Strosgirl’s Designs. It is a way to let my creative juices go. I love creating things I just wish I was good creating things for my condo as I am for mine or someone else’s blog. HA!!!
You may ask why Strosgirl’s Designs for a name? Well if you are not a baseball fan then you might not know. I grew up in Houston, Texas (now live in Kentucky) as a HUGE Houston Astros fan. I still am a fan of theirs still living in Kentucky. I am also a certified athletic trainer and I wanted something sports related, hence, the name of my blog packages: walk, single, double, triple, homerun.
I work some crazy hours while being an athletic trainer but it also allows me to spend more time designing blogs for you the customer. I design for blogger and wordpress. I love designing blogs because even though I am designing the blog it is 100% a representation of the owner of the blog. If I have to make 50 revisions to get exactly what you want then I will. You are the customer and the owner and you are the one who will have to use this blog on a daily basis.
If you have any questions on a blog design please do not hesitate to email me at angie[at]strosgirldesigns.com

Spectacular Savings
April 23, 2010 Filed Under Portfolio
Heather wanted a very simplistic header and blog and that is what I did. I bought the bags from istock and I colorized them to match the colors of her blog. I just love taking a blank canvas (the bags were white) and transformed them to match her blog and be able to use them in her signature. You can find her blog here.

Life Beyond the Hood has a great concept. The concept behind it is this, “Let’s work together to improve the quality of life in our country’s neglected areas.” Sheri has not updated it recently but I know she is VERY busy with school and her life but I think the concept is fantastic. Check her blog out here.
Granting full Access
March 6, 2010 Filed Under Tutorials
For me to be able to install your blog, you as the blog owner will need to grant full access to your blog. It is a very simple process but with about 4 or 5 steps. If you follow the steps below you will have no problem granting someone with full access to your blog. Now please remember someone who has full access will be able to delete your blog so make sure you can trust the person. I think this is a much safer way of me installing your blog because you do not have give out your username and password.
1. Go to your dashboard and click on settings under your blog title.
2. Once you have clicked on the settings link on your dashboard you will see the image below. Click on PERMISSIONS.
3. After clicking on the permissions link you will see something close to the image below. Click on ADD AUTHORS and add the person’s email you want to add as an author.
To add me as your author please use this email: lambert9404[at]gmail.com
4. The person you add as an author will receive an email telling them they need to approve to be an author to your blog.
5. Once the person has approved being an author you will see grant admin privileges next to their name. See image below:
