Blogger Layout by kwellmandesigns

I am learning to make blog layouts.  Thought I would share my first one with you.  When you download it will be a psp file with sepearate layers.  you will need to save the header as png and the background a a gif file.  The reason you save the background as a gif file is so that when you upload it to photobucket you can retain the full size. 
Before uploading to PB you should click on options and select 1 megabyte file size and save this choice.

I have left the header blank so that you may put wording of choice on yours.  Hope you like...Hugs..Kat

You can download my layout HERE.  Please do share, but direct others to my blog for download.  This layout was made using the wonderful artwork of Suzanne Woolcott and you must have a license to use her work.  You can purchase a license at http://www.gorjussart.com/.  Please do not claim as your own.  The scrapkit used is a PTU kit from Matrioshki Designs.  HERE
