New Headers for Spring 09!

Here are the headers I made for Spring.

New Header

Here are the two headers I made for this winter Holiday season.  They are digital collages, made using font and clip art in Microsoft Picture It! 2ooo, using Irfanview to resize them.  I hope you all are staying safe when venturing out, and warm!

New Blog Header!

This is the header I’m using for Fall/Thanksgiving 2008, for the Cutline theme.  I used a photo I took out at Elk City Reservoir, and some clip art graphics to make a digital collage using paint to make the initial green template, and Microsoft Picture It! 2000 to add and place things, including the text.

Alternate versions of number eight on my previous post.

Ok, here are some alternate versions of the custom header with the pink flowers, found in this post.  First, here it is with no ornament.  I think it is too bland this way.  

 

Here are the rest of them.  I played around with several styles of ornamentation via different fonts and font colors.  There are a lot of alternates, so if you don’t like one, scroll a bit more.  *wink*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I really like this one with the leaves, below!

 

 

 

 

New blog headers?

I made some headers from the recent photographs I took, for the Cutline theme.  (Their full size is 770 by 140 pixels, which is what the Cutline theme requires.)  You can read the entries here, here, and here in the order the photos were taken in.  But I’m not sure if they would best suit this blog.  What do you think, keep what I have for now, use one of these, or make another header from a different picture or another collage?  ETA: Ok, the images aren’t wanting to display for me now.  I cut down the number of entries per page to 10 from 20, and it is still having fits.       *eek*  Can you all see things correctly?  ETA2: Ok, cutting it down futher yet, to 5 entries per page maybe is fixing things.  ETA3: Or….not.  *sigh* bleh

  

 

 

Ok, here are some slightly altered headers, some with different font, some with different text placement.  But, to be honest, I don’t like the text in the lower right hand corner on the bird images very much.  The branch affects the legibility of the text, IMO.  I did try the text there when making them, and I figure you just sort of have to see how it looks to understand why I put it where I did.  *smile*

 

 

Headers, yeah there’s more of ’em!

Ok, all right, I made some more headers.  I just enjoy making collages on the computer, no paper scraps to clean up!  All of these are for Cutline, and I used Microsoft Picture It! Express 2000 and Windows Paint to make them, and Irfanview to resize and sharpen them.  (This time I just used Paint to make the white template to put the collage bits onto.)

Here are the two Easter headers I made: 

 

Here are two headers with flowers:

On a whim I made a header for St. Patrick’s Day

Once again, I made this using Microsoft Picture It! 2000, and Win XP Paint.  I was using Cutline when I used this theme:

I also found the place where you can make your own M&M avatar and played around there.  Here are some Spring themed ones I made to represent myself.

New Blog Theme, More Headers

Here are some headers I made, for two different themes.  I used Windows XP Paint, Microsoft Picture It! 2000, and Irfanview to make, and size the collages.  This time I was able to put in the text using Microsoft Picture It! 2000, usually I have to do that in Paint.  We’ll see which theme I like best, with which header.  Each theme requires a different sized header, that is why I am specifying what header goes with which theme.

For Cutline:

Have a Safe New Year’s Eve Everyone…

I hope you all have a Happy, and Safe New Year’s Eve, and a wonderful year-to-come.  Here is the header I made on a whim for New Year’s Eve/Day.  I made it using Paint, and Microsoft Picture It! 2000 to affix the bells, candle, and Celtic knot on the graphic “collage” style.  We’re going to have a peaceful New Year’s Eve, and toast each other with Ginger Ale, or perhaps some of that fizzy grape juice.  (This was up while I was using the Iceburgg theme.)   

New Blog Theme/Happy Holidays!

Yes, I am saying Happy Holidays.  Why?  Because New Year’s is within the same week as Christmas, not to mention all the other Holidays various people celebrate at this time.  I want to wish everyone Joy during whichever of the Holiday(s) they choose to celebrate in Winter.  *smile*  Here are the custom blog headers I made to use for this season.  They were made in Paint and Microsoft Picture It! believe it or not.  The one that is up right now was made using only fonts, the others were made using a combination of fonts, and “collage style” pastings of other graphics.  I am putting up the ones that are 760 by 190 that I made, mistakenly thinking that the Iceburgg theme used the same size of header.  It doesn’t.  It uses 760 by 150.  *sigh*  Anyway, enjoy the un-squished versions of the custom headers.  I’ll change them periodically this season.

This is the unsquished version of the one I am using right now with Iceburgg:

here is one alternate:

here is another:

this is the final one, I am not as fond of it, I might not use it. 

Also, here is my seasonal avatar as well. 

Here are two more headers I made while playing around today, they were made using fonts alone in Paint.

 

 

Here are some Winter themed headers I made today as well, using fonts and “collage” applications of other graphics in Microsoft Picture It!
