Current Layout

About Version 22

The header image was taken by John Byer and is an unspecified town square in Austria during their lavender festival. My life would be complete if everything looked like that.

Version 20

This is Twilight. Header and footer background from 274 Media.

Version 19

Version 19

This is called Other Side Of The Bridge and was named after the photograph it features, by G & A Scholiers. I really loved this layout.

Version 18

Version 18

Lovely Version 18, named Carpe Diem. I loved this! One of my most graphically proud moments; the layout that had said the most about me, I feel.

Version 17

Version 17

Jeff Buckley. Plain and simple. Based on Version 16, just a change of header and colours, but I loved it.

Version 16

Version 16

"Joaquin Phoenix!!! Heh, yes. I had to make Joaq layout - how could I not? I really love this. I love the colours, I love the blend I made. I just love, love, love it!"
I still feel that way. This one was kept for the longest time so far (5 months. Usually I go through layouts every two months...). It's so simple and pretty and just....nice, to me. I think it's probably my favourite of all my past layouts.

Version 15

Version 15

This one features Sweet Strawberry, a Kamio Japan Inc. character. I liked it, but I did get sick of it fairly quickly.

Version 14

Version 14

I don't often have guys in my layout graphics but that time I felt like I needed a change (and I'd already used most of my favourite women...).
The guys from L-R: James Dean, Ami James, River Phoenix, Johnny Depp, Matthew McConaughey, John Fruscianete and Ioan Gruffudd.

Version 13

Version 13

This cute layout features pixels of the popular San-X character Relaxuma. I wanted another cute, colourful layout. I adore cute stationary, so I decided to pixel a big and little notepad for my content and navigation. I know there are alot of colours, but because they're pastels, I think it works.

Version 12

Version 12

I had fun making this layout. I did the blend of Ioan Gruffudd pictures and enjoyed playing with various textures and brushes that I'd collected. I quite liked this as it was kinda sophisticated and that particular photoshoot of Ioan is a bit edgey and alternative, so I like how I played off that. I didn't want anything that seemed too "dark", but I didn't want anything too light, fluffy and overly feminine either. It was a happy medium!

Version 11

Version 11

It took me awhile to decide on what to do for this layout. I wanted something cute, but it really took awhile to get to the finished product. I pixeled all the Sanrio characters and their bakery food item. I pixeled everything except the text and pink background (which is from Squidfingers and recolored by me). I was really happy with how it turned out and it's probably my most favourite layout yet. I shall miss it!!

Version 10

Verion 10

This features the Sanrio character, Pinki Lili. Just a cute iFrames layout. Bit bright though!

Version 9

Version 9

Featuring Rachel Bilson. Made using CSS and divs. I really like this, hense why I kept it much longer that I usually kepp layouts.
Features lyrics from 'When I Say' by Vanessa Paradis.

Version 8

Version 8

Features Vanessa Paradis. I did like this one, but navigationally, I'm not too happy with it.

Version 7

Version 7

Liked this one alot. I change from using iFrames to having a complete CSS layout with this one. Has Catherine Zeta Jones on it and various brushes from various people.

Version 6

Version 6

First layout of 2005, featuring Angelina Jolie and a quote from her: "We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly... Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything..."

Version 5

Sadly, the screen shot seems to have dissapared off my computer.
It featured actress/model/musician Milla Jovovich. I liked this layout alot. Black, white and red is my favourite colour combination and Milla is gorgeous!

Version 4

Version 4

Sad to say Good-bye to the cartoon girl, but I needed something new! I loved this layout, though. Plus the picture of Angie is just beautiful *fangirl hyperactivity disorder*.

Version 3

Version 3

Found the cartoon girl at The Mojo. Not sure who she is...
Anyway, I liked this layout, but felt I needed a slightly bigger one with different navigation.

Version 2

Version 2

Featuring the girls from the band Rasputina.

Version 1

Version 1

Very first layout for PrettyBloomers. Quite organised, but it didn't have a cozy, personal feel to it. It was kind of big and spread out a bit too much.
