Communicating with me!!!
On the subject of communicating with me about your custom graphic design order:
Many of you know that this is not my full time job! I am a full time mom (I have six children who take up so much of my time) and a part time stamper, demo and designer. I have never and will never EVER get upset if a customer emails me to check on the status of their order. I actually appreciate it. If you are familiar with Gmail - any new email pops up previously sent emails in a thread, so I can go back and check on the status of where we stand with your order.
Do not ever hesitate to contact me if you feel like you have not heard from me in a reasonable amount of time. Some days I can really crank through the banners, other days I have so much on my plate that the design orders have to take a back burner. There is only two weeks left of school, so we are getting into graduations (Kindergarten), picnics, field trips and teacher gift time. I will likely be responding to you in the evening! If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please feel free to send me an email. I do not ever take offense to an email. A simple "Beth, how are things coming along?" will light a fire under my kiester! I promise you, I have never had a customer who was difficult. If I cannot reasonable complete your request, I will let you know!
Thank you again for trusting me with your business!

Jayne's Breast Cancer Blog
Jayne wanted to incorporate some of her favorite colors in the look of her blog banner. I was able to put in the blues and greens with her favorite color to give her just the look she wanted.
Do you have a favorite color you want to incorporate in your blog banner? Contact me to help you create that special look!
Some New Banners
Anne contacted me to create a banner from a photograph for the Albuquerque Beta Sigma Phi chapter. I love the combination of fonts and crisp black border.

How to add your new Blog Banner to your blog
You have just received your new banner from Freckled Fun. You will receive a final banner via email which will be the full size version just for your typepad or blogger blog. I recommend that you save a copy of the banner to your computer. If you would like, set up an account with Photobucket or Flickr and upload your banner to either one of those online photo hosting sites. That way if something happens to your computer, you still have a copy for yourself (don't worry, I save copies of blog banners for you). Use the following directions to upload your banner to your dashboard.
In Blogger
- Go to your Blogger dashboard (the main page where you edit your blog)
- Click the Layout tab
- Click the Edit button in the Header box.
- Be sure to leave the Blog Title and Blog Description boxes empty (this will avoid unnecessary text being uploaded atop your banner).
- Select Image and then decide whether you an image from your computer or the internet. If your banner is saved on your computer, you choose From your computer. Select From the web if you uploaded your banner you made to an online photo-hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket.
- At the Placement tab, choose Instead of title and description.
- Click Save Changes.
TypePad
- Go to your TypePad dashboard.
- Click the Design button
- Click Change Theme.
- Click Edit This Element which appears under Page Banner.
- Beneath Optional, click the box next to Use this banner image instead of a text title.
- Click Browse and find your banner in your computer (or put in the URL of your banner from the location where you stored it on the internet {Photobucket or Flickr}).
- Click Save Changes.

Sunny Stampin'
Andrea is one of those customers who I love to work with. She knows exactly what she wants! She pops over an email when she needs something modified and it gets done quickly. I did some minor mods to her old banner. Here is one of the modifications we did to her banner. What do you think?
