I'm having so much fun with blog design....that is one reason I went back to blogging! I'm one of those people that *loves* fashion...& changing my blog design is like changing my outfit. Some days, I'll have a couple different outfits on; just for fun!
and, so....yes. My blog designs will be changing oh-so-often! LOL! Ya like my new digs?
This new background is created with a photo I took in Paris off of the Eiffel Tower. I wanted it to be textured & funky, so with this photo: (totally windy, cloudy & cold up on that Tower!---not a good photo!)
I applied Jinky's Urban Intensity photo Action along with my Vintage Photo Texture & voila! I got this:
So, putting together a blog background & banner is super fun & it's totally Blog Fashion for me...I love it! Don't be surprised if you come back & it's all different!~
**eta: I've had a lot of questions about how to do this yourself!

I love the background and your title top. Since blogger changed things I can't do anything with new layouts on my blog or maybe I am being stupid and don't know how. I do know some html so you'd think I could figure it out. NoT! I need help my blog is sad looking.
