Autumn feel.. ?

Here is a background that I made recently, it was used on my RP website for awhile as part of the autumn theme. I have just changed the site to a blue and wintery kind of theme. I wanted to share this autumn-ish background for anyone who might like to use it for their website or even a blog if it will work for them. anyway - here it is.

Enchanted Forest x2

Here is a background I made for one of my blogs which I had planned to keep all for myself but then I changed my mind about doing the other blog.. I had it on this blog for a few days but it really wasn't what I wanted here, even though I liked it. So here is the background for anyone who might like to use it :)

Here is another background I made using the same kits as the one above it has a totally different look and feel to it, I just love kits that you can do lots of things with and not just be the same thing over and over :)

Aargh matey!

I'm popping in with my sore little fingers (from yardwork) to share this blog background I made. This one was created for a pirate rp blog I was thinking of doing. As said before I decided not to do all the different blogs. I have my writing (rp stuff) all on one site - and I was thinking of doing blogs for different ones but after some discussion with my main writing partner on those projects, we decided keeping it all in one spot was easier for us. Anyway... enough with the chatter and on to the background :) If anyone likes it and would like to use it, snag away!

Rusted

Here is another background that I made, this one was originally meant for a blog I had planned to do, but as previously mentioned in other posts, too many blogs can be a bad thing. I really liked this background even though I did decide not to use it at this point and it's not my typical style or color preference. But I figure someone else may like it. Anyone who would like to use it can snag it.

Purple & Grunge?

This is a blog background that I made a couple days ago. I was going to use it on the layouts blog but now have decided it's easier for me to keep track of stuff if I keep most of my creation stuff together. I do have a seperate blog for AC stuff I am trying to set up and there is such a thing as too many blogs, I guess. Anyway I am now offering the background to anyone who would like to use it for their blog.

--------------------------------------------

This is a variation of the earlier purple background I posted. I guess I must really love these two kits I used in making this since I've used one or the other (or both) in almost ever background I have made so far. Anyway.. if someone would like to use if for their blong, please feel free to snag it.

This is another variation of the first purple background I made, this one was specifically designed with television shows I like in mind, such as Charmed, Angel, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.. If anyone would like to use this, please feel free to snag it.

Something in red this time..

Yes, I haven't been rambling much with these posts, but I'm sure in some ways you're probably thankful for that, lol! I'm tired and it's late and I should be in bed, maybe I'll even go off in a few minutes. Haha.. she said. So here is another blog background that I made. If someone would like to use if for their blog, feel free to snag it :) Please use the credits below the preview if you use it.

Angel Fan Background

Here is a background I made, this one has an obvious theme of the series Angel, as shown with the characters featured. I once again had planned to use it myself but decided that I really don't need that many blogs. I like making the backgrounds so even though I may not be using them, they will keep coming as I am inspired to make them. If anyone would like this one for their blog they are more than welcome to snag it. Please use the credits listed below the layout.

The monster grows...

{{Copied from my layout blog, I decided to just keep it all here in one spot}}

Well it appears I have been inspired by the work of the very talented people I rub shoulders with or their blogs which I have passed through. I have now created two blog backgrounds/layouts. The first was a try to see if I could do one and the second was one I started messing around with and then shared with a friend who liked it enough to put it on their blog! To me that is the ultimate compliment, to have made something and to see it being used by someone who truly enjoys and appreciates it.

It all began with an idea.. that idea was for me to create my own background/layout for one of my blogs because the site I was getting my premade ones from didn't have one that suited that blog good enough. So I gave it a try and it worked.. I made a decent layout, not for the blog I was looking for one to suit, but just a basic layout to see if I could do it. Then I started playing with another, I had to leave before I was finished (or so I thought) and when I came home I shared the layout I was working on with a friend. She liked it so much, I added a couple of finishing touches and gave it to her for her blog... This is where the creative monster inside me reared it's head and decided that my pitiful little talent was going to branch out into creating blog layouts.. and while we're at it, if we can do those why not real scrap pages/layouts? You see where this is heading? The monster is hungry and it has made me stay up late again (it's near 4am here) and now it's made me create this blog to test my new layouts and also to share them. Because you see to truly test them.. properly that is, the blog can't be empty. Sometimes the monster makes sense and that is when it scares me the most...

This first example is the very first background I tried my hand at, it's not super fancy but I think it's cute in it's way. I used a scrap kit from Sentimental Style called My Inspiration. If anyone would like to use this background for your blog, feel free to save a copy and do so. The only thing I ask is that you do not claim it as your own creation.

For this second background I used papers and elements from the following two scrap kits: Cinzia Loosemore 'Urban Grunge' and Carrie Stephens 'Savannah Sophisticate'. This one is a small size example and is not open for people to use (sorry). I've decided that it's an 'exclusive' for my friend's blog and I'm not going to offer it to anyone else. I guess you could call that a perk of being my friend although I did tell her she had to give my blog lots of love and leave comments about how great I am. lol! (What? So I'm insecure and need lots of reassurance, we all have our issues, lol)
