Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles – The Blog Overhaul!
Happy Wednesday evening everyone!
Well as you may have noticed, there are some changes to my blog! However, they’re pretty much only visual changes…
I wanted to freshen up the look of the blog and get some of the clutter away from the sides. And of course, with my love of a rainbow, I wanted to incorporate that into my logo somewhere.
Catherine Carroll who maintains the blog in the updates etc has worked very hard on this for a long time for me, and had to contend with me and my specifics of what I wanted in the logo.
With a brand name such as Pootles, we had to be careful which font we used – some of them blurred the T and L together and made it difficult to read, others mashed them together. But I wanted clean and calm with just a pop of colour.
We (well, Catherine) has one or two tweaks to make, but this is pretty much it!
Nothing has changed in terms of navigation, all the links are still in the side bars and in my signature. The hostess code each month will still be on the side bar too.
We’ve taken away the ‘feed’ from instagram and are instead going to be adding in short hyperlinks to those.
I’m utterly delighted with it and how it looks, and I hope you like the changes too!

Love it very much.
Love the new look
Very pretty design well worth the effort!
Looks great, Rainbow Girl!!
Love the new look – very nice! But what really caught my eye is that Catherine Carroll designed it… Catherine just moved to the US in my hometown and I’m meeting her for coffee on Sunday! How cool! Small world… 🙂
I like the new look. Good job.
Congratulations on a very smart new look Sam! Love it! Well done to you and Catherine!
The new look is nice. I’ve always liked it though. My only suggestion (so far) is to please add the year to the date! Since I refer to your blogs a lot, the date including the year matter to me. Thanks so much for all your inspiration.
Love the new look! Fun and simple. Will look forward to reading daily!
