My newest kick is scrapbook-style designs. They are so fun to make! Of course I started this new kick on my own website (which recently got a makeover). Finding new ways to make graphics and layouts has become my new mission. Has this mission paid off? Well you tell me


If you like these templates please visit my website and see our full selection of pre-made website shoppe templates. Please also check back soon for our holiday sale information!

All my websites have been combined back into one site. Turns out that splitting my business into three websites was more trouble than it was helpful. Keeping up with the different order numbers and customers was giving me a headache. In everyone’s best interest I have revamped my website with a new shopping cart (OpenCart) and since I LOVED my design at My Pixel Creations so very much I adapted it to the new site.
With the new cart and new design there are also new items, new prices and new policies! First off there are 4 custom website design options ranging from $250 to $550 that are priced based on the type of website you have. You will also find lots of new pre-made templates (all priced between $50 and $75). You might also notice that I no longer work from a job calendar. When you place an order I start right then (or when I receive all of your information).
Please check out the new website and contact me with any questions you may have!

Sara*s Pixel Studio is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week unless I’m sleeping, which isn’t very often, or my kids are awake, which is most of the time. I start work each day about 9 or 10. Occasionally as early as 7 , but sometimes as late as 12 or 1. I take a break for lunch time that starts when the kids get hungry and ends when they are finally full. I work hardest during nap time which starts when the kids go to sleep and ends when they wake up. Closing time is never the same as any other day, but typically is between 9pm and 2am. Some mornings or afternoons I won’t be here at all, and lately I’ve been here just about all the time except when I’m somewhere else, but I should be here then to.
This is just a joke but oh-so-true! As a stay-at-home mom with two kids and a husband who works 24 hour shifts I’m sure you can imagine that our home-life is not normal and so my business hours are crazy too!

Everyone knows that we are more likely to purchase something that other people have purchased and are happy with. In the spirit of providing the best possible shopping environment for my customers I would like to have product reviews on my websites. If you have purchased any product (ever) from either of my websites (MPP or MPC) then you could get 10% your next order!
To get the coupon(s) all you have to do is login to your account (same email/pword as when the store was Sara*s Pixel Studio) at either MPP or MPC, find the product(s) you purchased and write a review about them. Please be specific in what you liked or didn’t like about my products/services and give the product/service an overall star rating. Reviews will only be validated if you have purchased that product…basically you can’t write reviews for products you have never purchased…but I will not delete your review for giving something negative feedback! I need to know where I can improve and so do my other customers. If you purchased a product/service that has changed names or that you purchased outside the shopping cart that’s okay you can still write a review for the product.
Once your review(s) are validated I will create a coupon code that is just for you (non-transferable) and for each review you write the coupon will be extended for that many uses…write 3 reviews, get 3 uses on the coupon = 10% off your next three orders. Coupon codes NEVER expire. Now of course there are limits to this. If you write reviews at MPP the coupon cannot be used at MPC and vice versa. If you write reviews at both sites you will be given two separate coupon codes. Coupons are not valid toward custom logo or website purchases (MPS).
Have fun with this, help me improve my websites and save money at the same time!

My Pixel Creations has had a make over! As you may already know (if you’ve read about my fabulous blog graphics) I’m a HUGE fan of Chanin of Snowflake Beach Designs. Chanin makes digital scrapbooking elements, papers, etc. and since discovering her work I’ve redone my two blogs and two of my websites! So anyway when I decided it was time to change MPC I came up with the idea of making the site a kitchen theme. I drew up the chef (suppose to look like me?) and then I contacted Chanin with my color scheme and asked her to design some papers and graphics. She did a great job as always and I am very happy with the way the site turned out. What do you think?

In honor of the new design I have also made it much easier to navigate and shop! The new, easy-to-read home page is where you’ll find links to help you get started in your next project. All Pre-Made template prices have been changed and are now either $25, $50 or $100!
I will also be debuting several new pre-made shoppe templates in the next few days. I will post again and keep you updated.

If your name is above and you haven’t heard from me yet it’s only because the person in front of you hasn’t picked their prize yet
If I am unable to get in touch with someone who has won before Wednesday April 1 I will continue down the list of random winners. This is the same list as posted at The Captive Mommy because I combined prize lists for both blogs for the party.

Well I sincerely hoped none of you had your heart set on winning that Avon Peach Bubble Bath. Hubby decided to use about 3 oz of it the other evening to give Bo a bath — there were bubbles up to his ears. Lots of ways to look at this: He was giving the kid a bath — not many fathers (that I know) give their kids baths, particularly if the mom is a SAHM. He honestly didn’t know that bottle was being saved for this blog party — try explaining a blog party (and giving prizes away) to your hubby then you’ll know why I didn’t even bother to tell him about it. Besides it was pretty heavy and therefore it would have been expensive to mail (yes I’m a cheapskate — I picked it up from hubby). Anyway so I’ll be finding a new prize to add to the list before the week is out to replace that one.
Also remember the sale going on through the end of the blog party:
- All ready-made mouse drawn graphics and background sets are only $3! This includes my wide selection of M2MG (made to match Gymboree) graphics and backgrounds.
- All pre-made website templates ($35 and up) are marked down $15! So you can get a website template (including installation) for as little as $20! Click here.
