New Look!

So I gave the ol' blog a little facelift. It might change again soon. I think this is a little bit bright for me. I've found backgrounds I liked in the past, but always had trouble with the header. I didn't want something TOO match-y, but I didn't know how to make my own.

Today I was checking out New Friend Friday when I stumbled upon Jen's fantastic blog. She has put together a great tutorial for how to create your own header using Scrap Blog. It is so helpful and really easy to follow.

This is my first try at a header, and it was pretty easy! I wish I had found a background and THEN made the header to coordinate, because I haven't had great luck doing it the other way around.

I'm a girl who likes to change things up (I rearrange my furniture at least once every other month), so I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time on ScrapBlog coming up with new looks.

Do you make your own blog designs? Or do you use pre-made templates?

Have a great weekend!
