My Purple Battle // Blog Redesign

You know that request I made awhile ago, about redesigning blogs?
Well, I got a great response, I finished the first redesign a couple days ago, and today I'm sharing it with you!

Lisa at My Purple Battle was my first victim, I mean, volunteer. ;)
The before...


And after!


This is a brief on the design process....


I could not have asked for a more enthusiastic "client" - Lisa was very positive and encouraging throughout the process, and was very helpful and patient with the newbie graphic designer. ;)
Of course, I am a carmaker before graphic designer, so I couldn't help but make a card inspired by the blog, for Lisa, using her very favorite color. ;)


These cabochons made me realize how pretty purple is! It really works lovely with gray and rose-like shades.


Thank you Lisa!
Lisa was also very generous, and "donated" a little giveaway to celebrate the new design! 


Giveaway ends July 11th, 11:59 EST.
Thanks so much for stopping in today and have a beautiful week!

    1. Clare, I apologize, I have been spelling your first name wrong all this time! I have a daughter named "Claire" so I have it automatically coming from my brain that way! So sorry...I'll be more mindful!
