Isn’t it cute? After hours of downloading free clipart and digi stamps, I decided to turn to a surprising source for images, my own hard drive! For the first time of the history of Thrifty Finn, I wanted to try out a photographic collage banner. And let me tell you, it was hard! The result is pretty good although I have some issues with the resolution. You can see that the image above is much sharper than the real banner. I will fix it, just not today. I’m too tired for that now.
What do you think? I tried to represent my different crafts and interests but I think it might have turned out bit girly with the pink circles and everything. The circles are a freebie from Pugly Pixel, so go check her out. The link is on my Crafty Resources- blog list.
Then something much more exciting…I have 100 WordPress- followers! I passed 25,000 views! I think now it’s the time to start thinking about a giveaway don’t you think? Just don’t hold your breath, there’s a chance I won’t get around it until, well, let’s just say I’m big on procrastination.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go and find a picture for this week’s photo challenge.
Till next time!
You did good! I have the desire to do such a banner but sadly lacking the skills! Maybe if I reread this post several more times some of your creativity will soak in. Maybe? Maybe! I will bookmark this page and see!
If you lack the skill, fake it till you make it! But seriously though, I agree that staring at things is a legimitate way of learning. SO you keep bookmarking things, girl, keep bookmarking.
I think your own work is a perfect idea. Showing all types of your work is important. I’m very impressed with closeups of your stitchwork. — In copyright crazy US, we are concerned with images. Is the little girl your design?
Unfortunately it’s not my own design but a stamp image by a company called The Greeting Farm. I chose the photo because the card I used the image in, is one of my faves that I’ve ever made. Oh and thanks for the stitchy compliment!
Absolutely LOVE the new banner – I love it when bloggers go personal
It’s more fun to look at things that represent you than just pretty designs!
Awww, thank you so much!
who needs pinterest when our hard drives are full of images
Love the new banner
My point exactly!!!
