In Need of Some Change

For the most part I am content with how my blog looks and the features I've figured out. No, I don't have all the fancy aspects that a lot of other people do (for example buttons - theirs and blogs they follow) but I'm ok with that. I've always been a simple/stream-lined kind of girl; for example that leopard sweater I wore was very daring for me, I maybe paint my fingernails twice a year, and I shy away from patterns and oversized-swingy earrings (like those examples???)

And as much as I liked the pink background of my blog (I may be a simple girl, but I'm still a girl who loves pink!) I just wasn't feeling it anymore. So on a whim, I headed back over to Shabby Blogs to see if there were any new backgrounds that caught my attention. The reasons I chose to stay with Shabby Blogs are: their website is so so so organized, everything they have is adorable, AND their tutorials are so so so helpful! I would highly recommend their site to anyone interested in sprucing up their blog.

Well after scrolling thru the tons of options for backgrounds, I decided on one that has less color. I felt like the pink background was competing with a lot of the pictures I posted. So hopefully the less colorful background will let my pictures be more of the focus.

Also, Shabby Blogs has some super adorable frames (for free) to add to photos that I couldn't resist downloading and will be trying out in the future.

So for anyone who doesn't know what it looked like before (and to help me remember this background), here's the BEFORE:

 And the AFTER:

I changed out the background, removed the border around the title-header and photos, and altered some of the font colors. Thoughts???
