Please note that the buttons were created by me and I do not give anyone permission to use them for any other public/commercial projects, except this blog header. You may not use the buttons in other graphics, on business cards or for digital scrapbooking. You may use them for personal projects with no commercial or public (including internet) purpose.

I have included a PDF with instructions on how to replace the header image - alternatively you can leave it as it is and it will look the same as the live preview (the header will say "Mode Parisienne").

*** A few things ***

This blogger template is for those of you who are comfortable editing images and uploading them to the internet (and then replacing the image path). YOUR BLOG TITLE AND DESCRIPTION WILL NOT SHOW UP - this design is not interactive from your Blogger Dashboard.

The header image is a blank image that you may do what you wish to. I have included a jpg and the layered photoshop file (for those who have photoshop). Download the zipped up folder for all the files you'll need for the header. The font I have used in my own test site is called Grenouille.

Until you edit the image yourself, you'll have the same header as I do on the test site.

I know I just got back.....

noreply@blogger.com (suckmylolly.com) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:18:00 +0000

Hi everyone! I know that I just got back from a big move, but I'm being whisked away on vacation tomorrow by my delightful boyfriend for a 2 week holiday to South East Asia. So, unfortunately this means I'll be away for 2 weeks and not able to check my mail, nor upload any blog templates until the first week in May.

So stay tuned for designs, coming soon! Apologies for going AWOL again (but there's enough in the archives for you to have a different blogger design every day for almost 4 whole months!).
Happy blogging!

I have had this background stored away for the last few years but I have no idea who it's by. If you know, please tell me so I can give them credit. I originally downloaded it as a MySpace template, which makes me think that it's OK for non-commercial. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Note: the inner background colour and the border colour is completely customisable from within the "Colours & Fonts" area.

Here's a design called Pyjama Party (no, I didn't spell that wrong, that's how we spell it) and I really really like it. It's a pretty wide 3 column template, but I love the colours and the look of it and I hope you like it too.

You Make My Heart Go "Boon" - free XML blogger template

Hello everyone, I am back on board and here's a design for you! So named as bees don't say "bzzzz" in Japan, they say "Boon", and it always makes me giggle. The background colour is changeable from within the "Colours & Fonts" area so don't fret if you don't like pink.

PS: I have included photoshop image and a PDF file with instructions on how to get rid of the boring text header (seen on the test site) that comes from yr Blogger Dashboard so you can make your own pretty headers with actual nice fonts if you so desire.

Bye bye for now!

noreply@blogger.com (suckmylolly.com) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 05:01:00 +0000

Hi everyone...

I'll be out of range for a few weeks as I'm about to leave this country (in the next few days) and move back home.

More designs coming really really soon!

Gah!

noreply@blogger.com (suckmylolly.com) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:42:00 +0000

Sincerest apologies to everyone out there for not posting a design in the last week or so!

I'm in the last phase of what is known as hell aka: "moving overseas for the 4th time in 10 years". Luckily for me I'm moving back home (and home is where the heart is after all) so things are CRAZY and exciting, all at once!

If I get time, I'd like to pop another design up before I disappear for a few weeks - please please don't forget about ol' suckmylolly.com - just know that I haven't abandoned ship. What a perfect chance it would be to join the email newsletter to know when more designs are made.

(the links on the right there)

I've received an exceptional amount of love letters this week all telling me how much you like my designs and appreciate the fact that they're free - please know that I love and adore knowing that people get some joy out of something I've created. Yes, even if it is a blog template - I love the fact you've gone to the trouble to tell me how much you like it!

It just makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks again, peoples!

Inside & Out - free blogger design XML! Hooray!

noreply@blogger.com (suckmylolly.com) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Slightly different from the classic template - I'm so pleased with how this one turned out. No doubt it will contain too much "knickers" for some... but oh well.

Please note that I have made my own header image and installed it under LAYOUT > PAGE ELEMENTS. You can do this too - as long as the header image has a background colour of white (to be seamless!) and is 720 pixels wide. Height isn't as important as width, so it doesn't matter how high. This design will come with a plain text header by default.

Make sure that you select the following if you want to replace your header with an image:

This is what I did (thinking it would be easier than replacing the image path in the code as I have been instructing in my recent designs - the jury's out - I think I prefer the other way as it allows you to be more precise and specific).

'tis cute though!

Cookie Top - free XML blogger DIY template

noreply@blogger.com (suckmylolly.com) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:46:00 +0000

I love brown when it's done well (that sounds so odd to say) - but other, brighter, colours tend to look very pretty with dark brown. Anyway, I love this template. It's 750 pixels wide.

The design is free and works with "new" blogger - ie: it's an XML template. Please ensure that you backup your widget data, as installing a new template will wipe/erase your current widget content.

*** A few things ***

The header image is a blank image that you may do what you wish to. I have included a jpg, a gif and the layered photoshop file (for those who have photoshop). Download the zipped up folder for all the files you'll need for the header.

Here is the image (see it's blank and ready for you):

and then right click and "Save Image As....."

Sheesh! I got it! Gimme the template already!!

Ume Blossoms - free blogger XML template

noreply@blogger.com (suckmylolly.com) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:09:00 +0000

There are loads of Ume Blossoms out in Japan right now and they are soooo cute. I, personally think that Ume (plum) blossoms are more aesthetic than cherry blossoms - their colour is more vibrant and they seem heavier. Of course I do love them both. Anyhow, here's a blog design with some ume blossoms (image from a public domain collection).

Of course this is a re-doing of this template. There was a bit of middle-bit heart overload so I shaved some of the middle hearts off (ouch, shaving a heart!) but it looks a little neater.

For those of you who want to make it a little more personal, why not ditch the boring plain text header and edit the image to show your own header? Assuming you know how to do that kinda thing of course.

To hide the text only Blog Header & Description just enter:

display: none;

under
#header .description {
and
#header h1 {
(in the box of code)

And then edit the image and you instantly have something pretty darn cool and different.
