I scraped the original idea to use the palette ‘washed up sea’.
I finished the layout I’ve been working on. The inspiration was mainly based on crayons chose by a classmate of mines, the colors were black, purple, and a shade of teal. It was very hard to recreate the teal color, I had to break out PhotoShop to select one.
I had a lot of grief with the header and sidebar. Getting enough padding on the sidebar was difficult, and choosing the right radius for the rounded corner was confusing. ‘Shaping’ the header was just very weird. I originally started out with a block of color, than I changed it to a gradient with a triangle cut-out pattern at the bottom. I really liked the last one but it was impossible to include a triangle pattern on the sidebars (when I did it it looked great, I just didn’t figure it out until I tested it) because of its fluid design.
The text was really easy to do, and colors were super easy to pick. But I do have to change the date, and comment styles, I don’t want to reuse as I’m currently using the style for my other site. This layout counts as the January Layout.
In my joined-families we like to send Christmas Cards. This year I want to make cards instead of just buying them and shipping them out. To me the cards are like a competition. My cousin: Melissa she has these awesome cards (all stamped, and mini, it’s just really sweet).
My plan this year is to make better cards than Melissa. I want to do a family portrait (3.5×4.5 in) with gallery style borders, with a green or red frame. I want to do a green or red envelope too. To close the envelope, I have holiday stickers from a couple years back. I have to go find Holiday style stamps too.
That’s my Christmas Goal this year, off to go make a demo.
I’ve neglected NaBloPoMo for a couple days now, I’m a really unfitting candidate for this. I’ve been spending a lot of time on COLOURloversrecently, and I’ve created a perfect combination for the January layout. Click Here. The layout, I assume, will be called washed-up sea as well.

I’ve decided to name my Mac Spider Pig of The Simpsons Movie. I went through trial an error from Jon Walker (Panic of the Disco), Harry Plopper/Potter, and Penguin Jr. (pronounced: Ping-Guin). The funny thing is that I’ve never actually seen The Simpsons Movie. I don’t know if my sister id hare-brained, but nonetheless, she’s the only one in this household who will understand the joke. Continue reading ‘Spider Pig’
