Blog Redesign Credits

Are you reading this through Google Reader or another new feed reader? If so, want to pop your head out for a moment & check out the layout & graphics redesign to my blog? I would so appreciate it as I think it turned out really cute and would love to show you what I have done.

The blog graphics are from one of my all time favorite digital scrapbooking collections - the Spot Color Collection by Jen Allyson at twopeasinabucket.com

The kits I used from the collection are her Spot Color Papers No. 3 (lined paper), Spot Color Simple Shades Paper No. 2 (patterned papers), Spot Color Element Stickers (flowers & bird in the comments header), and Spot Color Cool Colors Block Alphabet for my initials on the lined papers.

To stitch it all up, I used Carina Gardner's Playtime for the Girls Stitching kit also available at twopeasinabucket.com

One of my favorite parts of the design is the comments header & footer. I learned to put these into my layouts about a year ago now and love how the little bits give the comments section a little more flair.

Thanks for looking & popping your head out of Google Reader if you were cruising the blog train that way.

I am working on mine at the moment, I hope it is even the tiniest bit as good as yours when I am done.
