Crying Over Spilled Milk - 3 Column Format

Meet Miss..

We all ask the question from time to time....

The next thing you know youre...

I just LOVE it when I get a blogger with a unique title and they entrust me to incorporate it into the feel of the blog. Jennifer is quite a hottie as you can see..

So tooning her was not as easy as you would think. But it was fun trying capture her natural beauty for blogger-land. Don't blame her, she was drawn that way...

The cookie and milk martini were her artistic directions for blog rock, as well as keeping the palette in the shades of black and gray.

I think my favorite detail is her "grab button" I just love the spilled milk. Go On Grab it and pop on over to Jennifer's place and send her some Blog Rock Love!!

Rock On my fellow headbangers!

Faith Hope and Love - 3 Column Format

Shannon is quite the inspirational blogger. She found Blog Rock via Sweet Jeanette. She loved the bright colors and wanted some for herself. I have to give Shannon the patience award. I was trying to use a new program to make blog design easier. Whelp, it was creating more problems than it was worth and I had to go back to blog rock basics and totally redo her digs. Thank You Shannon!
Shannon's artistic inspiration was the Cherry Blossom Tree.. I added the doves, I thought they fit with her faithful title. And finally here we have her signature donning her favorite color... green...

Menopausal New Mom, 3 Column Format

Meet Deb, she is a mother of a 3 year old who is also in full blown Menopause. She basically has the right to do what ever the heck she wants in my book. New Motherhood and Menopause, thats a doozy!

After custom cartoonizing we found this picture for the color inspiration.

Next I designed her header. I thought a flaming woman in a nursery was appropriate. Deb invisioned her MenoNewMom juggling the words of the things she deals with on a daily basis.
Here is a headshot of Deb's beautiful face.She's now gone anon with MenoNewMom as her Avatar.
Her new favicon is a flaming MenoNewMom, she looks hot to me.
And sticking with the hot flash theme, Deb's signature is on fire as well.
Click on this screen capture below to view Deb's Menopausal New Mom blog in action.
Now click on Deb's grab button and visit her for a real taste of her Rockin Blog!

Thanks Deb for Rockin with Blog Rock!

Boulder City Party Time, 3 Column

Well this is my newest personal blog, but I thought I would post it anyway. I used to host a website that was dedicated to my Halloween Bash, but one of the couples dropped out of the hosting so it was time to come up with a new name. Also, it was a site I had build on Yahoo's ancient page builder. Its all going away, and I figured blogging would be a better way to showcase slide shows from the party. We are also considering throwing other shin digs throughout the year as well. The Theatre Marquee idea popped into my head as I was searching fonts and the rest is Blog Rock History. Theres just no stopping me when the idea is on a roll.

Here is a screen capture.

I opted for a side navigation bar versus the center top, it was taking away from the header IMO.
This header was so fun. I plan on changing the now playing with each party. It would be cool if the latest post would automatically generate there, but that is too complicated for blogger.
The sidebar headers are keeping names in lights.
I cant help but Rock out my own stuff you know. A simple to do, wouldn't do..

Contact me and Let's Rock!!

Happy Hour Somewhere, Three Column Format

All the cool kids are 3 column formatting these days. Let me introduce you to Kat from Happy Hour Somewhere. She found me through the lovely Miss L from Tampons and Chocolate. Kat's inspiration for her blog was pretty simple she loves black, greens and jewel tones and Jack Daniels. Well you ask Blog Rock and you shall receive. Anything goes..
I took elements from the J.D. design and worked them into Happy Hour Somewhere's new look.
But first I wanted to capture Kat's pretty face for Kustom Kartoon Kat! Doesnt she have a great smile?

Here we've worked Kat's favorite things into her header. A highballer, a teddy bear (as she refers to one daughter) and a bowl of Hot Tamales (as she refers to the other daughter)

In her grab button I utilized the center of the J.D. design. I really dig this. And below click on the screen capture to view custom backgrounds. I made them all from scratch. I may not be so good in the kitchen but I can rock the keyboard..

Finally we have her Signature and Favicon.

So visit Happy Hour Somewhere for the full effect, I also threw in a scrolly frienship button, too much widget clutter nerves me..

Tampons and Chocolate ??

Yes, Miss L has a questionable title for her blog, but the story behind the title is brought to life if you read here. When she contacted me via Housewife Savant I was excited to see what we could come up with together. First we have a screen capture. click to see the large version.

Isn't it freakin beautiful? This girl knew what she wanted and together we achieved it.. I believe. Now for some details. First I illustrated a custom vector image just for her. She's pretty low profile, but lemme tell you she is REALLY this cute in RL!

Here we have her side bar images, she chose to go with a blogger friendly sidebar, they automatically show up on any widget you create.
Her button, go ahead and grab it when you visit her, its so cute it should adorn anyone's blog who appreciates Tampons and Chocolate.


And finally how about a close up look at her header... go on click it... check out her menstrual cycle up close (dont you love that ha, ha!)..


A big THANK YOU to "L" for letting me "ROCK HER BLOG" you know you wanna rock out too!

Becky has three amazing little girls, their story is one of magic. They are truly blessed to have a fairy godmother as their mom aka Becky. They are a rambunctious little bunch and remind me of Tinkerbell. When I saw these fairies I knew they were the girls and Becky concurred.

Housewife Savant.. 3 column

Kelly has been a great blogger bud... Check out the makeover I did on her duds... Housewife Savant Rocks!! Not that it didn't before. As you can see I'm venturing out into new lands, I've learned alot, its been super fun...
Here we have a close up of her sidebar butt... i mean button..

Here is a lovely screen capture for you to click on for a close up.
Here she is at the bar... I mean here is her header bar.
And her button to dial into her blog... and it works, click on it i dare ya.

Kelly's original header was a shot of her washing machine knob and she really loved it. So keeping in the washing machine theme I found and doctored this washer control panel to suit Kel's original feel. And doesn't the character look just like her? Her profile pic has her holding writing supplies, so when I came upon this character, I knew it was just right. Although it made Kelly cut bangs in RL, so apparently she REALLY liked it!!
