Win a CoffeeShop Blog Design!

>> Thursday, September 10, 2009

This giveaway is closed!

Time for another free CoffeeShop Blog Design giveaway, CoffeeShop Pink Dots! This is a premade blog in a shabby-chic style. You will get the background and page dividers, a photoblog template, horizontal menubar, a layered header that you can customize to taste, and full instructions on setting up everything and making future changes! I will change the color of the background if you aren't a "pink" person. :-)

To win this giveaway (note, this design only works on Blogger blogs), just place my button somewhere on your blog or post about CoffeeShop. If you already have my button on your blog just let me know in the comment, that counts! If you don't have a blog yet (so you can't use my button or blog about me) but want to start blogging and love this CoffeeShop Pink Dots design, then please tell me why you want a blog or post about CoffeeShop on your favorite message board (and leave an email or name or link!).

Make sure you link your site and/or email in your comment. And if you already have my button on your blog, that counts!!!

Rita...I am new to your site and used your tutorial to make the Polaroid Emulsion. I am totally new to actions even tho I have been photoshop-ing for many years. Needless to say, I tried one of your tutorials last night but have not yet tried the actions. I recently posted my first attempt to my TurtleBug Graphics Blog and linked it back to you for the credit for the tutorial. THANK YOU!

Jessica September 13, 2009 9:24 PM  

This blog layout is so so awesome! I love photography and have been trying to get my name out there for about a year and a half. Everyone keeps telling me I need to blog my shoots, so people can follow my work. My husband has almost got a site up and running for my photography. If I changed the pink parts to blue, it would match my site perfectly! I've been telling everyone I know about your blog. I think you have brilliant photo-editing ideas, and I love what you are doing with it. I've posted your blog as a blog I follow on my family news blog. www.landuytcarlsonfamily.blogspot.com

V7 Photos September 14, 2009 2:15 PM  

Hi Rita! LOVE your work, ideas and actions! I have tons from different places that I've bought and always come back to yours time and time again...all of my clients LOVE them and you make my workload so easy to get through.
I tell all my fellow photographers to check you out. So glad to have a link to your blog on my blog so they can find you easy. Keep up the great work!

I've got your button!!!
And would love a chance for a new blog design for my Neice's webpage. She has Cystic Fibrosis and each year we host a huge country concert and motorcycle ride to raise money for the CF Foundation. Her blog is becoming quite popular and could use a beautiful design to help it stand out!!!!

I will add your button there, too!
