So Honored and Excited

Vox / Six Apart used some of my Design to Inspire banners for official themes! The lilacs design featured in the center and the minimalist aqua design to the right are my creations. I'm so excited and very happy to share them.

In my previous non-Tweet post, I mentioned that I would release my Design To Inspire banners to the Vox community for use with Personalized Vox themes. Well, my reason for not yet doing so became clear yesterday when Vox implemented two of my designs as official Vox themes!

I was extremely honored when Lilia from Vox and Six Apart contacted me requesting permission to use my Design To Inspire banners for Vox, LiveJournal, and Typepad. Honestly, upon entering my submissions I had the full intention of releasing any of my submitted banners that did not win the contest to the Vox community, so their request made me extremely happy. I'm glad the team liked my designs enough to use them. I hope all Vox, LiveJournal and Typepad users enjoy my designs, as well as any designs from the Design To Inspire contest that Six Apart may release in the future. I look forward to seeing what additional themes resulting from this contest will be released in the coming months. In the interim I'm going to enjoy switching between the various Vox themes introduced within the past month, and may even use some designed by me!

Give Me Time

I have had quite a few blog post topics circulating in my mind, but have not found the time nor the mental clarity to write them. I intend to publicize versions of my Design To Inspire banner creations to share with the Vox community for use with personalized Vox themes. I also want to discuss quite a few things that have been occurring in my life as of late, some of which were hinted at in my recent Tweets. I hope I find enough peace of mind to successfully formulate my ideas to a degree that would allow me to coherently transmit my thoughts and feelings to text. Maybe I will begin with my custom banners as that post will require the least amount of writing.

Design to Inspire Contest: Lovely Lilacs

http://www.designtoinspirecontest.com...

This was inspired by a photograph of lilacs I captured at a historic landmark that is very dear to my heart on a delightfully warm, sunny day. The lilacs smelled wonderfully sweet and intoxicatingly uplifting.

I made another banner for the Design to Inspire Contest. Please vote for it! (You can also vote for my three other banners, too.) Remember, you can vote for as many banners as you like -- there are a lot of great ones in this contest -- but you can only vote once per design.

Here are my creations, thus far, for HP's current theme contest for Vox, Typepad and LiveJournal. I intend to submit additional themes/banners if more inspiration strikes.* I would appreciate if you vote for me (links provided below)!
