New Blog Header

I have a new blog header!!

After having my wedding cake topper header up for a few months now, I wanted to change the header to something less wedding related and to include my new blog name stamp. I also wanted something with depth, texture, my favorite colors, and fun. While ideas swirled in my head, I realized that neither my office or home computer have Photoshop so using a photo/stamp combo or having a super cool graphic designed header would not be possible (I'm not very versed in Photoshop anyway) so I decided to do what I'm comfortable with and put together some paper.

Orchid color ink + white paper + new scallop stamp + colors that I love = a fresh start!

Here are a few I considered:

Blog name and heart confetti.


Blog name and pink & green scallop circles.


Blog name and Martha Stewart Deco Shells punch.


Blog name, pink/purple/yellow scallop circles, and pink heart.


Blog name, layered doilies and circles, and a little heart. With a little photo cropping, this is the header :)

How did you decide on your blog header?

This is so fun! I like your current header and the confetti possibility.

I recently updated my blog header (and everything actually) too. I looked through some photos I liked that would look good in a long slender layout. After photoshopping and playing for a day or so, I got a pretty rainbow out of it.

I love all of the diys on your site, happy to about to become your latest follower!
