Who made my avatar? Rebecca Landholt Design!

September 14, 2012 in Sponsor Shout-Out

Meet the Newest Sponsor at Crafted Niche:

Becky Landholt from rebeccalandholt.com

This super talented graphic designer (& video editor!) is the genius behind my beloved avatar here at Crafted Niche!

I first “met” Becky when she graciously offered her services in a giveaway at That’s What Che Said. First and foremost, let me say – I NEVER WIN. Ever. Like evvvvvver. But this time… yup… WINNER QUINNER DINNER!

I thought it might be fun to show you how my Avatar came to life… and just how easy it was to work with Becky.

On a whim, I emailed Becky after winning to ask if she could design an avatar for me. She wrote back and said she’d LOVE to!
<Camera B pans to Dana squealing as she reads the email>

I emailed her some photos and a couple things about me (namely my laid-back approach to “fashion”… I use that term lightly in all things Dana). Curious what photos I sent her? Well I thought you might be!

Definitely a random hodge podge of photos… but I thought it might give her a good starting point. I told her I’m tall, blonde hair (at the time!), typically wearing a horseshoe necklace and casual clothes.

In a matter of days I opened my email to see THIS!:

Can you believe she even created Emma and Quinn for me! BONUS! Seriously guys – Becky is awesome. I shared the avatar with some friends and family. My coworker Erin’s first response – “Whoa! Glamorous Dana!”

Hmmm… she might have a point. It was summertime… which meant I was wearing sun dresses or capris and flip flops on a daily basis.

I emailed Becky asking if she could change up my outfit. And let me tell you – SHE NAILED IT.

The funniest part… the day I received this avatar I was wearing a blue v-neck, denim cuffed capris and flip flops. No joke.

Yup… Nailed it. Boop!

I’ve had so much fun creating things with my avatar… including a new blog header (scroll up to see!), Facebook profile photo & cover photo, Twitter photo & background and an email signature!

I really can’t say enough good things about Becky. She was SO EASY to work with. I’ll absolutely be calling on her the next time I need some original artwork for my blog. She’s fast, friendly and affordable! Woop!

Becky just started her Facebook page! Would love for you to hop over, Like her page and show her a little Crafted Niche hospitality!

So I never really asked you guys… What do you think of my avatar? I just put it up and wondered if anyone would notice. SO many of you made sweet comments on Facebook and I think you for all your kind compliments!

Becky – Welcome to Crafted Niche!
