Week At A Glance

Another busy week for Avery's Designs- 4 designs and... Avery's Designs is now on Facebook! 

The first design was a custom piece for PUYB Virtual Book Club, run by Dorothy and Tracee (Tracee is also the owner of The Zen Reader and I'm Shelf-ish)! Dorothy and Tracee wanted a design which incorporated both of them, bookshelves, and  the colour aqua. Together we came up with the following design! 

The next design was for Hayley of Booking It With Hayley G- Hayley was one of the winner's of Avery's Designs Grand Opening Celebration! Hayley really liked the Lily's Book Lair premade package so we changed it up a bit to best represent her! 

The next design was for Melissa of Buried Under Books. This is, without a doubt, one of my most favourite designs to date- partly because it allowed me to experiment and play around a lot and partly because it is so ME (I was totally one of those punked-out emo kids in high school, not unlike the avatar). For this design Melissa wanted the complete package- a blog design including meme banners and a design for bookmarks! 

The final design was for Carla of Library Mosaic. While I was admittedly a bit hesitant about the design colour (I'm more of a cold colour fan rather than a warm colour fan), I absolutely love how it turned out! This design was inspired by the story of the princess and the pea! 

Week At A Glance

While this has been the official first week of Avery's Designs, it's sure been a busy week! My first giveaway of winner's choice of a design has gone live (only a bit of time left to enter it) and I've sold my first two designs!

You can see the first design live over at Meredith & Jennifer's Musings (header, avatars, and button)! Meredith and Jennifer were looking for custom avatars which reflected themselves and they wanted to keep their purple theme. I loved custom-making these avatars and intend to have a whole line of them released within the next couple of weeks!

The next design (a head-to-toe makeover) can be seen over at Kayla's Bibliophilia, Please. When Kayla saw my The Ever-Growing TBR Pile design she knew that she had it, it reflecting her to a tee (the character having flaming red hair and a librarian)! With Kayla's help, we were able to decide upon a fitting font (something that was as user-friendly as possible, while still remaining stylish, for her patrons) and a coordinating background.

A HUGE thanks goes out to out all of these ladies for taking a chance at newbie me- and here's to (hopefully) many, many more future designs!
