M&M Feature-Rad Rag Designs & Giveaway!



"I love taking clothing garments that "once were" and turning them into something that is hip and modern."        -Dannielle, owner of Rad Rag Designs

Indie artist and clothing "re-designer" Dannielle creates fashionable headbands, handbags, and clothing. She rocks out on her bass guitar in a blues-rock band, and designed her own logo. Sewing is her passion, and she uses her love of sewing to make incredible products for clients
that find her products on Etsy, Ebay, and soon her online store! 

Two colorful headbands created by Dannielle of Rad Rag Designs....

Custom Dress and Matching headband...just adorable!


Check out this maxi dress she re-created....

Taking a otherwise normal garment, and re-designing it into a hip and modern dress takes creativity and talent! Dannielle has both.

What products does Red Rag Designs offer? Red Rag Designs offer a wide variety of handmade clothing items and accessories; including tops, dresses, skirts, scarves and handbags. They specialize in creating fashions for little girls through women of all stages, that have a flare for unique and funky fashion.

When I asked Dannielle what her goals where for the upcoming year, she responded: 
My goals are simple. Live happy, be successful and in the meantime spend as much time on the lake as possible! ;) Actually, my goal for the next year, is to build Rad Rag into a brand. I am still in the beginning stages, so it’s going to take lots of work and dedication, but, I don't mind!  I am excited for what the future holds.


What’s something fun and random about you? I play the bass guitar in a blues-rock band and have played professionally for about the last 7 years or so. 

Visit her FB page and blog


Rad Rag Designs has given us a great product from their line to giveaway to one of our fans!

Marvelous Monday-Welcomes Izzy Couture Designs!

It's Monday,...usually a day you dread since the weekend is over and its back to the grind of work...so I wanted to give my readers some excitement to look forward to! Hence the new weekly blog posts:

Marvelous Monday~Featured Vendor

Our Marvelous Monday posts will be referred to as "M&M", and will be a post about a vendor who products I adore and want to share with you! Each Monday morning the blog will have the new post, and our featured vendor will have a giveaway of one of their amazing items for our readers! Make sure to subscribe to this blog for our weekly updates.

Kelsy Rogers is a photographer and graphic designer, and owner of Izzy Couture Designs. I met Kelsy online from winning one of her template sets through a giveaway, and am thrilled that I found her store!She agreed to become our first Featured Vendor, and we are excited to be launching a new series of posts about our vendors. After meeting her on Facebook, we found out we have mutual friends that she went to school with...it IS a small world after all!


A little about Izzy Couture Designs...words from Kelsy...

"Izzy Couture Designs got its start in May 2011; I was 21 years old &
had just graduated from Calhoun Community College with an Associate’s
Degree in Computer Graphics/Electronic Imaging & a Minor in
Photography. I have owned a photography business for 2 years, going on 3
years. As a photographer I found that I was using a lot of templates to offer
as products to my clients. One day I sat down to edit photos from that day’s
session & I realized I wanted something different, I was tired of using the
same old templates over & over, then I said to myself, “Kelsy, You are a
Graphic Designer, why keep using templates designed by another graphic
designer when you can design your own!” So that’s exactly what I did, I sat
down & designed some templates for my clients & they were a huge
success!




I had no name for my business. I knew I wanted it to be something different & fun,
even spunky. So after a LONG day at work I came in & played with my
puppy, Izzy, a 1 year old poodle/Scottish terrier mix that’s ball of fur &
energy! That was it, who said you couldn’t name a business after your
dog?!? Once I played around with several name options a friend of mine
suggested I use the word “couture” in my business name, & there you have
it: Izzy Couture Designs was born."


-What products do they offer?
  • Graphic Design Services-Custom Logos, Watermarks, Business
  • Cards, T-shirts, Flyers, Brochures, Forms, Charts, CD Labels
  • Templates & Template Sets for Photographers
  • Handmade Camera Strap Covers
  • Much Much More!

Kelsy is giving one of my readers a FREE template set from her black and white collection! I have this set, and loved using it to show a sample of the photographs from a recent wedding I shot.
They are easy to use and make presentation a breeze!

Winners of the Giveaway! Is it you???

What fun this has been!
It's been a crazy week at my house, and I know all of you are anxiously awaiting to see if your name is on the list...so go ahead, read down to see who won! ;)

I want to personally thank each of my awesome Vendors for making this possible. I've been so excited about how generous they where for this giveaway! I'm looking forward to hosting more give-a-ways in the near future, and hosting vendors on the blog. I want this blog to be one that excites you when a new post is up-so please give me your suggestions on what topics you'd like to read, giveaways you want to enter, etc!

This is my "part-time passion", as I am a newlywed (I guess after just a year I can still call myself that??) and a new mother to a darling 3 month old boy! Both he and my amazing husband keep me busy, but somehow I found hours a day to pursue my dream of growing my photography business and learning more and more about this great art!

Coming soon:I will be hosting Featured Vendors with a giveaway of an item from their shop at least once a month...(I hope to have a new vendor each week! so spread the word!) I will talk with the vendor and write a blog post about their amazing products, and how it can help photographers and moms! The vendor will send one of their products to me, and I will use it in a photo-shoot to showcase their product. The photos will be included in the post. If you have a business and would like to spread the word about your products, please let me know in a comment! Leave your email address and I will email you details.


Winners!!! 

Please contact the vendor of the prize you won (links in last blog post) and post of their wall to verify you won! You have 48 hours to do so before you forfeit your prize. Vendors-please contact me if you have not heard from your winner by Wednesday at noon. Thank-you!
