More free goodies for ya!

This personalizable tag would be great as a gift tag with a simple hold punch and a ribbon or some raffia to tie it on with . Or laminate it and made a funky luggage tag!




These 2 can be shrunk to use as placecards or enlarged as notecards.

New digital freebies!

Just click on the image and copy to your computer then add your own photo with your photo editing software.

School Days Freebies!

So my goal is to put up some digital freebies every week. I know I LOVE sites that offer fun digital goodies and since I figure now I've got a pretty large collection of digital kits why not design them myself and offer them to you guys we well! So I hope you guys enjoy these designs and if you use them let me know, I'll feature your project on my blog!

Fun School Bus:


For the sample version I used some of the sassy girls from my clinic as models :)


School Days cluster frame:
Ezra's actually baking cookies but I didn't have any pics of him reading or coloring.

Christmas Freebies!

This morning I created these freebies for you guys. The wreaths and frames are actually empty so you can add your own photos to them! Just click on the image to expand it and then save it to your computer. If you have photoshop or some other photo editing software you can add your own pics to them to personalize it! Enjoy!

Cute freebies!

Thought I'd share some amazing and fun crafts with you guys. I'm in LOVE with this Harry Potter doll (go to www.mypapercrane.com for pattern and directions) and look forward to the rest of the crew coming along as well. I don't sew at all but for this I would try my best and maybe just sneak some hot glue and iron on fabric adhesive.



Here's one from www.orangeyoulucky.blogspot.com. I'm in love with this site and her amazing illustrations. Here are some free printable gift tags for your Christmas goodies!


There are more gift tags but my computer isn't letting me upload them for some reason. Go and check out the blog to get them.

New look for our family blog!

Well after doing all these new blog designs I finally sat down and took the time to revamp out family blog. I'm still working out a lot of kinks and trying new things all of which are falling apart so it's likely that things will continue to change. I just have to have something up for now so it's a work in progress. Click on the button below to go and check it out :)

Free Printables!!!

I finally scanned in these vintage childrens' playing cards that my mom bought me at a garage sale for $0.50!! I saw the "Animal Rummy" cards on sale on Amazon for $25.00 so I think she got a good buy! There are so many ways you can use these images, especially if you are good with photoshop and can edit out the wording. I didn't scan the entire decks just one of each image. If you're interested in getting the entire deck please comment me and I'll scan the rest in. Also I appologize for them being crooked but it is my first time scanning(I know I'm lame). You should be able to just click on each image and save the photo as a jpg. Enjoy!

Another great site with a great giveaway!

You guys should definitly check out www.tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com there are lots of great craft ideas and also there's an awesome giveaway going on right now. See the blackboard above, well they are giving away FOUR of them in different shapes. Great for first day of school photos, birthdays, you name it... I recommend you go and check out Jen's blog ASAP and plan to sit and stay awhile :)

Price Increase...

Just to let you guys know that I have increased my custom blog design prices to $50.00 for an ENTIRE blog design. Lately I have been receiving lots of requests which is GREAT but they are getting more and more involved and it may take me 2 days just to make a header. Also I don't charge extra for all the editing so I decided to increase my prices to help cover some of the cost for my time and also the digital design elements that I have to purchase.
Thanks for your continued support of Adopt Africa Designs!

Another great giveaway!

The Bricker Family is doing a huge giveaway to help raise funds for their Ethiopian adoption. I recently made a custom blog for Jessie and she asked me to donate to her giveaway. I will be giveing away a FREE custom blog design and an Adopt Africa magnet. So click on the button above and go to her blog to enter for a chance to win!

Get your Christmas wish list blog HERE!

Are you looking for a way to keep everyone's Christmas wishes in one place that's easy to update??? Well I know for years our family had made last minute frantic calls back and forth trying to find out what this person or that person wants for Christmas. So my hubby asked me to create a blog where everyone could upload their "wish lists" in an organized way. Click on the link below to see what I created for our family. If you are interested in a Wish List blog of your own the cost is $15.00. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Missions Trip Giveaway!!!

Lots of new designs

Hey guys! Well I've been busy the last few days and there are lots of new design up on the portfolios so take a minute to sneak a peek. I have LOTS of cute stuff in the works. I'm just waiting for the final okays from the clients and then I'll be posting those as well. Also I have officially increased my prices to $35.00/blog just FYI.

Customizable blog headers!

I decided to make a couple blog headers that can be customizable to your liking. If you like one of these just let me know and I can get started on "pimping" your blog!

Computer is out of commission for now...

I just wanted to post that my computer is currently at the "doctor" and hopefully will be back up and working in the next 2 weeks. I appologize for the delay and inconvenience. I can't wait to get back to work on custom designs and will let everyone know just as soon as it's working again.

Check out this blog!

A fellow AWAA adoptive family contacted me a last week about designing some necklaces for a fundraiser to benefit the kiddos at Kind Hearts and Trees of Glory, the 2 care centers that we sponsor kids at in Ethiopia. The necklaces are precious and all proceeds will go toward purchasing shoes for the kiddos there. Please visit Samantha's blog by clicking on the image above. She's an 11 year old girl trying to make a difference and I just love that :)

My first blog giveaway!

The next 2 people to order a custom blog design will receive a FREE Adopt Africa magnet!!!
I'm really excited to have a new project and look forward to "pimping your blog" :)
There are lots of new designs on my portfolio pages so sit and stay and while and take a look!

Welcome!!!

Welcome to my new blog! I have decided to create a blog devoted solely to my digital design. As many of you know, I started creating "bloggy bling" as a way to fundraise for our next adoption. Because of the large numbers of people interested and designs created I decided to have a place where I could post all of my designs/portfolio so that hopefully my little buisness will grow and grow while also allowing our family and friends to be able to read our family blog w/o seeing other families' prototype designs for their blog buttons/headers/etc.
I hope to be doing some designs for your really soon! Thanks for visiting.

Happy blogging!
