I'm soooo frustrated with my blog. I created a banner for the blog (ages ago I know), but when I load it up in the banner area and say resize and replace text for header it just doesn't fit properly, so I have had to load it in the html part, but then it doesn't cover up the text for the header, so I have had to replace the header text with a full stop or dot (it is just visible by the 'e' in my header), as I HAVE to have something in there, but of course now my blog is coming up with a dot. If that makes sense to you and you know how to fix it PLEASE help me get my name back on my blog please. Cause now if you subscribe via a feeder or bloglines my blog just comes up as . which isn't helpful at all :(
On scrappy news though, month two of sketches and inspiration is up at 'A Page out of my Scrapbook' and this is my take on the gorgeous sketch. The DT really did amazing things with it so pop over have a look, print out the sketch and have a go as you can win one of two prizes!!!

Second share is more actions I found, this is a creamy B/W action by JennH which I found at twopeas.com and it is just yummo! This is my original photo of katie.

Now if you run the action, but actually switch off the top two layers (which make the photo b/w) you get a bit more impact and oomph on your photo, just look at those eyes, so pretty!!

Same action again, but this time with the top layer switched off for a noice soft b/w photo :)

And this one is the full action run for a bit more of a contrasty b/w.

I also wanted to share this one below, which I used that action from my previous post for, with a wee bit of extra photoshopping. I scrapped this one for a layout for Creative paper and just loved the colours, soooo yummmo!!

Well I think that is it from me. I'm back to work this week, and we just had a mega busy day due to sales. So my back on this preggy body is KILLING me and I have to go back tomorrow for me killing arrrrrgh! Man if I didn't love and need the money so much hehe!!
Have a gorgeous week everyone!! I have a few more actions I want to share with you all :) I'm a bit of an action junkie! hehe

Hi Jolene,
Not sure if this helps, but if you edit the layout of your blog and you click on the edit button for the header a pop-up window 'configure header' opens. My blog title is the name of my blog and I've imported an image from Flickr which is my banner. Also, at the bottom you can choose two options for the placement. One is 'behind title in description' and the other one is 'instead of title and description'. Make sure you choose 'instead of', that way the dot will hopefully disappear. Good luck! P.S. Love your work by the way.
I have no idea at all how to fix that for you but I know I found it helpful to join the Blogger forum to ask questions.
Somehow, mysteriously, something was fixed on my blog that way. :)
LOVE that layout - the colour combo is gorgeous.
And your photos - Bella!!!
Hi Jolene
