I can ditch the ric rac and do a stripe like this with stitches....

BROOKE!!!

So this may be too cutesie for you---you'll have to tell me honestly. I just downloaded a whole bunch of stuff from shabbyprincess.com and kind of got carried away. If it looks too much like a scrapbook and not enough like you let me know and we'll tweak things. Just be honest--you have to look at it all the time so you have to love it for me to tell you how to put it on your blog! Like instead of the flower we can do a brush stamp or stitched corners or just the initial and make it bigger...the sky is the limit. Colors? Background? After we fine tune it I'll tell you how to fool with it to get it in your layout just right. Check out the flowers / button to the right...do you like any of them better?

So what do you think? You can fiddle with the fonts and font colors, but the background color (cream) is in the html. I can change whatever you'd like before putting it on your blog! I thought this brown/pink dot background looked better than the pink/white dots.

Poppy...what do you think about this??? If you're not digging the sand, we can easily change it. Notice too the starfish on your right sidebar for your links. If you can find a better graphic that's small we can change that too. It can also be a simple dot there too if you'd rather.

So this is too cute--I want to use it myself I love it so much! You can put your picture on the left sidebar if you want like mine is on my blog, but it won't be as massive as yours now. Notice the ginerbread men as bullet points on the right where your links & blogger friends can go...if you want this with the diamond background and all I will put it into your codes on your site. Love ya!

You can also change the font colors, and white background to light green, or whatever you want.
