** Hey Everyone**
I am posting this because i have been getting tons and tons of e-mails asking me about my Custom Layouts, this information below is located in the Custom Layout Blog that is linked on my Profile page, but it must be a hard to find since i get alot of e-mails asking about these. So i promise as soon as i can i will redo my layout so my links are easier to find! :) Any questions, just give me a yell :) ***
If you have an interest in a customized layout or icons by me, or wish to have a product in my store customized. Then please be sure to read this whole blog.There are guidelines that need to be followed as well as some FAQ's that will be of use to.
For Custom Layouts or Icons, be sure that when you are requesting a Custom Layout or Icon that the form is included. The forms for icons and layouts can be found near the bottom of this blog. I will not delete messages that don't have the forms with them, but just understand the forms help me out ALOT. It helps me stay organized and I can see EXACTLY what it is that you want, which helps me get your designs done alot faster.
What can you do?
Below are some examples of the work I have done so far.

Custom Orders (in store)
To see Custom Work I have done in more store visit the link below:
http://www.cafepress.com/usmcgals/519323
What is your pricing?
Custom Layouts - $ 10.00
Icon Picture Collage Layouts - $ 15.00.
I have been getting a lot of requests for these, here is an example of these http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j154/nikayscreations/CassiesPrev.png
The only reason why these are a bit more is because the background, I have to take all your images and resize them so that they are an icon size and then once they are all turned into icons I make them into a background. Its VERY time consuming on my part, and I don't mind doing them but being that they do take a long time they are$ 15.00
10 Custom Icons -$ 5.00
Custom Orders (in store) - I do not charge extra for custom orders in my store.
For instance, if you want a custom design on a Jr. Hoodie, as Jr. Hoodie is 26.99, that will be the price you pay.
There is nothing added onto that price because I don't charge extra for custom orders.

** Be sure when you are taking avantage of the specials to include in your e-mail to me the photos that you wish to be used for the picture edits or icons and also what you would like on them**
Are you going to post the layouts or icons I pay for
on your site?
NO I will not. I might use them as examples, which will be the preview of your layout like the examples in the first question.
But that is it, custom layouts and icons will not be posted on my site
.
Where do I send my request?
Please no more messages through myspace. I find that its a lot easier if I get requests sent through e-mail.
I get tons of messages a day on myspace, just ladies telling me they like my work or asking questions.
Therefore, from no on if you wish to get a Custom Layout or Custom Icons please send your request to nikay@imaginemypride.com< FONT>
If you wish to place a Custom Order (in the store) e-mail me at store@usmcgals.com
How will I see my custom layout or icons?
Once I am finished with your Layout or Icons, I will send you the link to FULL preview of the layout. It will be the FULL Preview,
that means its not resized so you see every detail. As for icons, for icons I will take each icon that I made for you and put them all on one image like this
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j154/nikayscreations/CaylasIconPrevs.png and then I will send you that preview.
Why am I sending previews? Because instead of asking for the payment first, I am putting my TRUST in you. I am doing the work before payment and once
its finished and you are happy with it then you can pay me. BUT I will not give you your layout code, images or icons until you have made payment.
Please understand that if you are not happy with the result I will make any changes that you want me to make. I want YOU to be satisfied with your layout or icons.
How do I pay?
For Custom Layouts & Icons I am doing pay pal(YOU DON'T NEED A PAY PAL ACCOUNT). I just need your e-mail address that's another reason why you send your request to my e-mail account. Once I have sent out your preview, I will wait to hear back from you, that way I know that you either like it as it is or you need changes. If you need changes I will make those changes for you. When you let me know you like everything, I will send you an invoice from pay pal. Once I have received payment I will send your layouts, layout images or your icons.
If you don't wish to pay that way then you can mail me a check or money order. Just know though that mailing me a check or money order might take it a few days to get to, so you will have to wait till I get that payment before I give you your stuff.
Are you letting me use your hosting for my custom layout or icons?
Yes, at least for the layouts that is. I am hosting your images for your layouts. BUT I also give you the images that I made to make your layout, in case you either want to use your own hosting.
For icons though, its same as it with the icons I had made on my site. I wont host your icons. I will send you your icons and you will have to use your own hosting account, if you do need help with that I will help you.
How do I send you my pictures?
It honestly doesn't matter, whatever is easiest for you. You can include the URL to your image or you can attach it for me. If you attach it for me, then be sure where it says Image URL on the form, include the file name.
Are you going to continue making free layouts?
Of course I am!! I am not going to stop making free layouts. I just thought that those who like my work and want a custom layout or custom icons can take advantage of this. Its wonderful to have things specially made for you and this way you can have just that.
How long will it take for my Custom Layout or Icons?
For Custom Layouts or Icons I can get your stuff done in about two days. AS LONG as you have given me the information that I need. If you don't give me everything I need that means we will probably have to play e-mail tag and then once I get everything I can begin work. But generally it wont take no more than two days.
Custom Orders at the store).. For custom orders in the store its the same thing. It doesn't take me no more than two days DEPENDING on how many orders are ahead of you. I will let you know if I have any orders ahead of you and about how long it will take me to get your order done. If you have a time frame that you have to have your order done by I will put you at the top of the list.

Custom Layout Form
--I can usually fit about 6 pictures on a layout, depending on their size. I can always resize them as well to make sure they fit. But that is up to you, I don't have to do that many pictures. Its what YOU WANT. If you want to you can send me a more than 6 pictures and I can sift through the pics and see which ones will look best. --Wording it totally up to you, i can add names, SHORT poems, quotes, dates (as long as it abides by OPSEC). Anything you want its up to you .BUT you have to tell me what you want.
--If you want your background to be an icon collage or your pictures please REMEMBER as stated above for those layouts being that it is time consuming because I have to resize all your pictures and make them into an icon and then add all those picture icons into one image for the background. It is time consuming as I said. So those layouts are $ 15.00 not $ 10.00. For Picture Collage Layouts MAX 20 pictures!
Layout form begins below. Below is what you have to copy and paste into your e-mai.
