I haven’t blogged in so long. But I have decorated my blog for Christmas. I’ve had the Christmas layout ready since before Thanksgiving. I stayed with the corkboard style, because I still really like it, but I went for as if I was decorating the layout I already had. Changed the pushpins to red, different coloring and background, and a bit of scripture. That’s a bit of John 1:14, in case you were wondering. I love the first chapter of John, and I especially love to read those first 18 verses at Christmas. You’ve probably noticed that I also changed the music on my radio.blog to a careful selection of Christmas music. Those are some favorites, and I hope everyone enjoys them.

I’m not a layout changing all the time kind of a girl. I get things how I like them and I tend to keep them like that for a while. Today I made a spiffy new layout. The inspiration – a corkboard. I saw this tutorial and thought it looked like a fun idea. I did it a little differently, and I think it came out cute. But how will I put my title on? I wondered. I googled “push pin tutorial” and found a really nice one for Photo Impact. I used the concept in PSP, though and came up with the header. I made the background based on the stripes of my bedspread, and I’m really happy with the results.
