Baylli's Jewelry Boutique

Hello all!
I am very sorry that i didn't post on the 28th like i said i would. For some reason my little blog was flagged as spam! How that happened i really don't know. So i had to wait before i could even post anything!

But anyway...

I wanted to talk about my past banners i have made. I am going to start out with Baylli 's Jewelry Boutique. She had contacted me wanting 2 banners and 2 avatars. One banner and avatar for when she is having a sale and the other 2 for her main shop front. For this post i will only be talking about the main store front banner. She told me she wanted something "pretty" like out of a magazine. So with that i dove right into her banners. ( I love making banners!)

You can see at the left the 1st set of ideas that i sent her. Sadly enough, she didn't like any of them. Personally liked 4th banner in that picture. But i LOVE bright colors. (makes you wonder why i decided on Pink & Grey as my color theme)

When i made these 4, i wanted to showcase her work. She does such great jewelry, i thought i needed to shown off!! I really love her DragonFly Necklace! You can see it here. Please check it out!

Ok now back to making her banners! She told me try something a little more simpler, something white with just her name. So back to the drawing board I went. (did i happen to tell you i really like making banners!) Now you are going to look at this image and ask: "Why didn't you do what she said?" Well I can't answer that, i guess i wanted to show her some other ideas! :) LOL

She had told me she really liked the font that i used in my banner, that i do not use any more by the way. But i have to agree i really like that font. So pretty. And i thought it went really well with the "swirls" that i used in banner #1. And like you pretty much know by now, she decided on the 1st banner. But she wanted a few things changed. Very simple changes.

I really liked the 2nd banner from these 2. I could have slapped my self for not thinking of the making the font 2 different sizes. But oh well.

So do you want to know what banner she decided on? Well you have to go to her shop to see.

The First Post

Here is my 1st post to this brand new blog!
I started this blog because one of my clients asked me if i had one. The another client asked if i do custom blog designs. So in a round about way I started this for my clients. That's a good thing right? :)

Before I started this blog, I completely redesigned my etsy shop. From the banner all the way down to the thank you image, and this blog layout(which i had to teach myself). I think it looks a lot better than the basic black & white that i started with. I wanted a vintage flair to it...but the 1st 2 designs just didn't pan out. But I'm really happy with this outcome.

So how about i tell you a little about myself?

I am a mother of 1 son. He was born back in October of 2006. I can't believe he turns 2 soon!
I am married to my high school sweetheart. We got married in 2001. I love cats! I have 5 of them. Marvin, Kit Kit, FunnyFace, Tort, & Gabby. I really do love cats! Well i can't think of anything else to add to this...

so onto the next topic.

I was wanting to talk about my banners i make for people here, they get noticed and you see what I'm doing. Starting tomorrow, i will start telling you about my past banners i have made.

Well i am going to call it a night now.
Hope you liked this 1st post!
