Giveaway: Doodlebug Designs

April 2, 2008

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Gina of Gina’s Journal. Congratulations!

Looking to do a little Spring cleaning around your Blogger blog? What better way than a brand new template?

Doodlebug Designs was created by Judi, a SAHM, who was looking for a way to earn a little extra income. I really admire her because all her talent is self-taught through books and online resources. Just stop by her gallery and you’ll know what I mean. What I wouldn’t do to be able to make designs like that!

Not only are her designs amazing but the prices are even more so. A custom Blogger theme is only $55! With that price, you could probably order a different template for each season!

Interested? Doodlebug Designs is offering a custom Blogger template to one lucky winner. It includes the following:

  • custom header
  • custom background
  • signature
  • post divider
  • favicon
  • little touchs to the sidebar headers and sometimes the post title area; depending on the design chosen
  • 2 iStock or StockXpert credits
  • 2 minor revisions prior to installation
  • installation

To enter, just stop by Doodlebug Designs before April 9th and check out her gallery. Then come back and mention which blog design is your favorite. That’s it! A random winner will be selected and notified on April 10th. The winner should contact me to claim their prize within 3 days.

To earn extra entries, just subscribe to my feed and/or mention this giveaway on your blog with a link back here and to Doodlebug Designs. Please let me know if you’re doing/did the extra credit so I can make sure you’re entered properly.

This giveaway is open to everyone world-wide. Good luck!

For more of my current giveaways, please see the sidebar.

Oh man - that’s such a tough decision. I really really like the Spring design, but would probably have to choose something that’s a little more reflective of my house full ‘o boys! LOL!

I like up the hill gang. I have to be honest though with that being a business blog, the music has to go. It was very annoying having to pause music I don’t like every time I went to a new page.
