Well hello blog

Long time no see.
I used to blog daily, then it was more like weekly, and then monthly and more recently with so many other places to hang out on the Internet, like the Zibbet Facebook Group, the Zibbet Community Hub, Pinterest, Zibbet Flickr Group ...I had deserted my poor old blog.

I have also been busy writing the Fantastic Five on Zibbet. I hope you'll check it out. It's a weekly feature.

Zibbet sales are going well. I've been working on a few new shop banners for these shops. Bet Your Bottom Button Creations is a new shop on Zibbet and this banner is not completed yet, so it will change quite a bit before it goes into her shop.

Second Sister at MoArk Jewelry has me working on a logo for her. Waiting on feedback from customer. Once the logo is finalized I will be making her a shop banner for Zibbet and Artfire and and an Earring Card design.

Nicole's Visions ordered a shop banner, label, 2-sided business card, a web ad and product tag designs. At this point I am still working on her banner. Once the banner is decided on, I will work on her other items. Nicole is planning ahead for when she will be adding new crafts to her shop made from vintage vinyl record albums, reclaimed wood and fabric, a eco-friendly line of products. Currently she sells her photography.

Creations by DJ ordered a shop banner and it is also pending final approval. This is where it is right now. This shop has quite a variety of handmade crafts made by two women friends who are both nurses. Lots of neat Christmas items.

This banner I just completed and you can see it in her shop. Susan Wise makes gentle handmade soap. This is the second shop banner I made for her and I sure do appreciate return customers. This banner celebrates the beautiful season of Autumn.

Sherry Spring has two shops on Zibbet: The Bead Supply and Sherry Spring Designs. This is the second shop banner I created for her. Her other shop banner I made can be seen in her supply shop HERE.

Another return customer yesterday was Deni of Breitwerk. Deni had me design a logo for her a few weeks ago, and yesterday requested a 4x6 card to use in Z Boxes and other advertising uses.

Last week I also designed, made and shipped 100 buttons to Izzy's Place. Pat is going to use them as a way to advertise her shop. People will remember her when the button magnets get put to use on refrigerators and filing cabinets.

Last night I sold 6 Superman Vintage buttons from my Portable Graffiti button shop. A random customer who just opened a buyers account on Zibbet.com.

Keeping busy at Portable Graffiti Graphics ....hope you are, too.
Hugs,
Judy

Evolution of a Shop Banner

I made the first 2 banners pictured here for Handmade Fuzzy, a shop on Zibbet.com

and she liked parts of one and parts of the other. 

I combined what she liked into this banner.

But she wanted more of her hand knitting photo to show.

So I changed her banner to this:

Then tried it with a stylized background.

She wanted a script font, so I switched fonts and gave it a white highlight.

She liked this one.

But I still wasn't satisfied with the look,

and made one more banner.

This one:

And that's the one she picked.

You can see it in her shop at:

If you need a shop banner, business card designs, web ads or any kind of graphics, 

I am happy to work with you.

A Peek into How I Make Business Cards

When I get an order for a shop banner or a business card, oftentimes the customer pretty much leaves it up to me to design it for them. Without any vague idea as to what the customer wants sometimes I end up making up to 25 designs or more before my customer and myself are happy with the end results. I don't mind one bit. I want my customers to be 100% happy and I want to love the end result as well.

Currently I am working on a business card for JacBer Creations which is based in New Zealand and has a shop on Zibbet. Here is proof #1, proof #2 and proof #3. Her business card may end up like this or it may become something totally different. Stop back again to see how this business card by Portable Graffiti Graphics evolves.

Proof #1

Proof #2

Proof #3

UPDATE Proof #4 (per Nifty's Comments and another change I made)

UPDATE Proof #5: Just playing around.

Been Busy Making Shop Banners on Zibbet

I made this shop banner and avatar for The Little Mommy shop on Zibbet.

What can I make for you?

I made this shop banner for La-De-Da Creations shop on Zibbet.

Indulge your inner hippie.

My Zibbet Dish is the Perfect Size to Hold My Figs Until They Ripen

I have a lovely fig tree I planted when I had the house built. It gives me a few handfuls of figs 2x a year. I have to be quick, though, and get them before the birds do. I am sure the birds get more than I do. That's okay because I like birds. 

If you need a little dish to set by your computer to ripen your figs or hold your blackberries or M&Ms, I'll tell where you I bought mine:
