I know there's only a couple more days...

but that pink was driving me batty. So here's a variant for the last few days of October.

Only 5 more days of pink!

:)

My eyes are excited.

Scrapblog

Think I might be cheating a little here - this is actually a post from the other blog I've been working on, but it was supposed to be just a test ground for templates etc.

I had an idea to find a wood finish background and plaster it with stickers, graffiti, & a blog title as part of a blog template. In my search to find the ingredients I found Scrapblog [beta] (of course it's beta, it might even be beta 2.0).

You're supposed to put pictures in it too, but I was so enamoured with the backgrounds & "stickers" that I didn't even get to the pictures. You can even embed them in your regular blog - but I found for my purposes (only displaying one page) that taking a screen shot & cropping it in Photoshop worked better.

I'm still here...

It has been a week, but I am still at it. Just "doing it" somewhere else. Honing my design skills (& therefore html & css skills - although I think both the words honing & skills give a false impression) in another location.

Check it out - ya know ya want to (it's not pink, I promise).

In the Pink

Check it out - I'm Pink for October!

Spell with Flickr :)

& that's all that needs to be said.

Cool photo toys

Pretty cool, Huh? I made this with one of fd's Flickr Toys. The Hockneyizer.

Create a unique "collage" from a single photograph. Choose one of two styles: a "joiner" style image without frames or an image created from simulated Polaroids. Every generated image is unique. This toy was inspired by the photo collages of the artist David Hockney. Works with your photos hosted on Flickr or anywhere else.

But wait, there's more...
Motivator - Create your own (de)motivational poster.
Magazine Cover - Make your own magazine cover!
Mosaic Maker - Make a mosaic from your photos.
Framer - If you frame it, it's art.
Movie Poster - Make your own customized movie poster. Be a star!
Captioner - Add comic book style captions to your photos!
Billboard - Billboardize your message and a fabulous photo!
Stream - An everlasting flow of digital photographs.
Photo Fortune - A pithy fortune with related photographs.
Photo Wall - Amazing ever-changing photo wall.

Brilliant!

I am chocolate Flavored

I am sweet and a little bit naughty. I am one of the few clinically proven aphrodisiacs. Sometimes I can seem a little hard, but show warmth and I soon melt.
What Flavour Are You?

Loving the blog buttons

Virtual buttons {& not just virtual buttons, but free virtual buttons}. Which rocks, 'cause I love the buttons (see prickie.com) but what would I do with them if I had some?

If you want your site to be really snazzy, you can spend a couple of bucks and they'll make them to order, just for you.

Beautiful illustrations. Really beautiful. These buttons are available on prickie.com - which needs it's own post, because it's very cool & led me to many more great artists. So, some other day...
