			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://coolbabykid.com/" target="_blank">Cool Baby Kid</a> is by far one of my favorite designs I have done in a long time. I absolutely love it. I am not sure if y&#8217;all have noticed but I love designing with the color Pink. LOVE IT! ha

I used the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=299982&amp;U=521457&amp;M=28169&amp;urllink=" target="_blank">Blissful</a> theme from<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=241369&amp;U=521457&amp;M=28169&amp;urllink=" target="_blank"> StudioPress</a> and did some tweaking to it. I actually created a new home page for it than what came with the theme. The owner of the site wanted a more uniformed look for her home page and be able to add the most current post of certain categories on the home page. I would have to say we accomplished it!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Here is my latest design, <a href="http://www.tallmomontherun.com/" target="_blank">Tall Mom on the Run</a>. This was a trying design for me as there was so much that needed to be done. It was all self-inflicted though. I wanted to add a slider for Mel and I did, but nothing would move the way I wanted it to, so after working on it for quite sometime, I finally got it!

Here is the logo I made (you can also click on it to take you to the site.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Katie, from <a href="http://practicalkatie.com/" target="_blank">Practical Parenting</a> is a repeat customer. She is using WordPress (which I love) and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=255475&amp;U=521457&amp;M=28169&amp;urllink=" target="_blank">Prose</a> from <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=241369&amp;U=521457&amp;M=28169&amp;urllink=" target="_blank">StudioPress</a>. Katie wanted to change her colors and go more sophisticated than the colors we had chosen before. I LOVE THIS NEW DESIGN! I love the colors and the overall layout. Prose does not come with a custom home page so we created a new home page so it is not looking like a blog but more of a website with the newest posts being on the home page in the grid.

Check it out! Here is her NEW header.

<a href="http://practicalkatie.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1123" title="header" src="http://strosgirldesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/header-e1327076556407.png" alt="" width="540" height="143" /></a>

**Something I wanted to mention, if you wanted to have a theme that you just wanted to change the colors and not have to get into the coding, then <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=255475&amp;U=521457&amp;M=28169&amp;urllink=" target="_blank">Prose</a> from Genesis is the way to go! Super easy and easy to customize!]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have to say this was probably one of the EASIEST sites I have designed in a long time. First of all, her sister in law purchased her a gift certificate for Christmas! What a great gift huh? Because of her sister in law, I will be adding this to my site soon!

Back to the design, Cara dabbles in food, fashion and crafts. She wanted to simplified her site and get it more organized! I think that is exactly what we did! She gave me blogs she liked and I went to town. There were NO changes from the original layout which is why it was one of the easiest to design!

There are a couple of things I like about this design and they are both in the post footer section. The first is the post divider &amp; signature! With Cara adding so many pictures to her design I thought it would be a good idea to have only 1 image at the bottom so there were not 2 &#8211; 4 images in the post footer area so I combined the post divider &amp; signature and I think it turned out great. The 2nd thing I love is the share &amp; save button. I think the blogger save option is horrible and so unappealing so I made a custom one for Cara and it turned out great in my opinion.

Click on the header below to take you to her site:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://theweducator.com/" target="_blank">The WEDucator</a>, is this not the most clever name! I love it. This is a WordPress design. Tia had an idea of what she wanted with her old blog but could not get it to work with her old theme. So I told her, I can do anything with<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=241369&amp;U=521457&amp;M=28169&amp;urllink=" target="_blank"> StudioPress</a> themes. Have I ever mentioned how AWESOME they are! They are fantastic. So what we did was take a FREE theme from StudioPress called Copyblogger (love this one) and I adapted it to have it the way she needed the home page. I have to say, I think it looks FANTASTIC. It is elegant, sophisticated and fun!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Well I am still running a little behind from being so sick this past week but I did manage to get a site installed after it being completed for almost a week. It is called Snippy Snappy and I just love it! She wanted something simple for the posting area and for the header but a background that matched a water bottle of hers and I think it turned out FANTASTIC if I do say so myself. I made the background myself and I was a little worried when I saw this pattern but it looks pretty good.
