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!

Love the look of your blog layout! Fun colors!
ReplyDeleteI tried Jen's tutorial a couple of weeks ago..and I just couldn't figure out how to make the final step happen! I spent so much time on scrapblog and then couldn't upload it to blogger....so frustrating! I'm really getting tired of looking at my same old header!
You did a great job on yours!
