I needed to build a blog for one of my children's ministry things....and built a "mirror" image for a friend...(but her request was it needed to be orange....)

So, here's the header for mine - using Danielle Young's newest school kit (A New Lunchbox)

And this is the variation I made for my friend, using an assortment of Sue Cummings' Orange things....lol....I went through a ton of folders to find them, but they are a great example of her things...

Anyway...that's what I've been up to....

Oh...and I re-designed my blog using some fun stuff from Paislee Press...I think everything came from the Honebee kit...

These are great Kaylea! I just noticed the other day that my blog header is two years old... I really need to change it out. Maybe I'll take some inspiration from here.

Awesome job! Wow, I wish I knew how to do this. I'd love to personalize my blog!!
Click to expand...


Step 1) Create a new document in Photoshop...
5.5 inches wide, 2 inches deep, 300 dpi...

Step 2) Create a blog header, just like you would create a scrapbook page....just using a smaller "format".

Step 3) Save it (the tif) so you can change it later.

Step 4) Change the dpi to 72, and adjust the size to 660 pixels wide. (if you save it, make sure you save it as a jpg.

Step 5) Choose the Save for web option, and save the "web" version of your file.

Step 6) Upload this jpg to your favorite photo sharing site.

UM..this is for blogger blogs....

Step 7) go to the "layout" section of your blog.

Step 8) Click on the "header" button.

Step 9) It will open up a window, that shows to add an image from the web, and a few other choices.....uncheck the "shrink to fit" box.

Step 10) In the upload from web spot, paste in the url from your photo sharing site.

Step 11) for the placement option, select "instead of title and description".

Step 12) Select Save.

You should now have the header on your blog.

If you know HTML, you can go into it, and erase the frame that blogger automatically places around your "header."....

hope this helps.
