Blog Design: The Heart of Aloha

Wow! I just finished up my first blog design job! It was a month of brainstorming, sketching, bouncing ideas back and forth... I've designed plenty of blogs for myself, but this was my first "real" client! Yeah!! I feel like I should be more calm and collected about this, but it's just so exciting!!

I was so honored to be asked by my friend Angie, over at Heart of Aloha, to come up with a new look for her blog! She is making some major changes in her life and passions (shh... I am sworn to secrecy about that for now!) and asked me to be a part of helping her step forward into this new phase.

This was by far the biggest professional design job I've done and I'm so happy with how it turned out! I've grown so much in my confidence as a designer, and I'm especially happy that Angie is happy with her design! That warms my designer's heart, to make someone smile with what I do. I feel truly blessed that God has been leading me on this path to become a designer!

    Congrats on the job!! Super cute also!!

    And hey, did your reader get the email when you replied on the blog? I've wondered that for awhile now!! Sometimes I'd like to reply on the blog because I'm answering a general question other readers might be interested in!

DIY Art Journal

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i...

Looking for a new church

For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
