So a couple of weeks ago, I found an adorable little cartoon waiting for me in my inbox.
Look…it’s meeeee. Most of all, I love how there’s a cupcake involved.
Laura of LauraLikesDesign.com sent it to me and we got to talking a bit about her design work. I mean, have you guys seen some of the stuff she does? Just look at the ADORABLE header she created for her blog for the holidays. It’s SO cute!
I got talking a bit more with Laura, who is super, super sweet. She has a background in both design and advertising/marketing, and takes on all sorts of various design and illustration projects. She absolutely loves working with new clients, which is why we decided it might be cool to give her a little shout out her on the ‘ol blog!
Her designs are just too cute, right?! Be sure to check out her website, blog, and portfolio!
*****
Originally, I was thinking that this post and giveaway (which I’ll get to in a sec) would probably only interest those of you who have a blog, but the more I talked with her about it, that’s definitely not the case!
Laura offers a TON of different services, including:
- Custom Illustration — both digital and traditional
- Design + Layout
- Logos + Identity
- Blog Design (Headers, Icons, Buttons, Banners, etc.)
- Hand Lettering
- Photography
And here are some examples of what she can design for you:
- Greeting Cards
- Logo + Business Cards
- Personal Stationery + Notecards
- Custom Desk or Wall Calendars
- Holiday Photo Cards
- Wedding, Party, Graduation and Baby Invitations/Announcements
- Custom Posters and Prints for your desk or walls
SO. The giveaway!
Illustrated Look-Alike Character Giveaway
One lucky reader will win a custom look-alike character (like the one above) illustrated by Laura. The winner will email a photo of themselves to Laura and she’ll transform it into a one of a kind illustration.
*Laura also said there can be more than one person, so if you have a photo of, say, you and your significant other or children, you can do something like that too!
How to Enter:
- (mandatory) Leave a comment on this post telling what kind of project you’d love to have designed (blog logos, personal stationary, etc.)
- (optional) Follow Laura on Twitter: @LaurLikesDesign
- (optional) Tweet about this giveaway: “I want to win a @LaurLikesDesign custom character from @SweetToothCourt! – “
I’ll choose a random winner on Friday, November 30th. Good Luck!
Thanks so much to everyone who entered the giveaway! The lucky winner is…
Entry #35: Kelsey Y.
