Another New Banner, You Ask?

Do you like the new look??? I am so excited, I've got to tell you. I made my banner, from start to finish, ALL BY MYSELF!!!!! I can't believe I did it! I have to pinch myself. You know I'm not exactly tech savvy, so doing this is a big accomplishment for me!

Now, let me share with you WHY I changed again. To be honest, I just wasn't feeling my most recent blog design/colors. I've said many times on here that I'm not really a pastel-type person. I love bold, bright, exciting colors. And when I'm not feeling a color, it sort of brings me down. That's what the pastel combination did for me this time. It just didn't make me happy everytime I logged in to post.

So, when I saw Cindy Keery's new banner, I emailed her and asked her about the brushes she used to make all her swirls. She gave me the online store she bought them from, but when I looked there, I wasn't 100% inspired by anything I saw. So, I searched for some free photo editing brushes on the internet and came across TONS of them that I could download, free of charge! I downloaded a zillion brushes that I messed around with all afternoon in Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. I'm inspired by bright colors, so I chose black (I know it's not bright, but it's a great compliment to brights), purple, pink and yellow! LOVE THESE COLORS!

After I downloaded all the brushes, I sat and messed around until I came up with something I loved. Looking at the banner makes me giddy with excitement!

Let me know what you think of the new look and if you think it should stay or go. I hope you all vote "stay", but if you hate it, I'll just have to change it up again. After all, you should have a say in things too!

Have a good night!
