This is gorgeous Erica. Particularly like the pen and ink-style lines on the left side of the ribbon (although it's a bit hard to see against the dark blue), and the subtle shadows and colors. Very nice.
Really love the detail and color scheme you have going here Erica. One thing I'd like to point out IMO the copy would be better served to match the "DESIGN" font you have above so you don't have so many different type faces going on.
Thanks Shawn. The "DESIGN" font is not a web font so I'm trying to limit it to headers and such (although, I may end up finding a Typekit font to use instead). Originally, I had the "Contact Me" and other footer headers in the same font as "DESIGN" but I opted for something a little different to add interest to the footer. But perhaps the ornaments are enough to add interest. So I'll take that into consideration. Thanks!
Its the details that set great web designers apart from "good" ones. You, of course, are getting the details to be perfect. I really can't wait to see the finished site. Love how it looks!

This is part of a footer I'm working on. There's obviously still placement text but I think the design is pretty much done.

Thanks for the feedback, Brian. I was wondering about the visibility of the lines. I'll increase the contrast a little.

So, I tried out the sans-serif font for the footer headers and I think I like it better. Yea? Nay?
I also increased the contrast of the line texture on the sides.
