Here is a free blogspot design that I've had on the back burner for a few weeks - the design had kind of stalled for lack of inspiration but I love the way it's turned out! Hope you like it too.

PS: the "inner" background green colour is #99CC99 - for those of you who want to use AdSense and have it blend seamlessly into the background. Also, if you want to add a widget in the bottom of the blog, I have adjusted the padding that a 468x60 adsense banner will be aligned in the center (otherwise it would cut into the sidebar bit). This will also work with a photograph or plain text - whatever kind of widgets you're into.

Observe:

I would not recommend any footer stuff that's wider than 470 pixels (hey, it's the footer anyway, who looks down there?) but as you can see, the adsense fits in well at the base (and sidebar, of course!).

PPS: I will do different colour versions of this soon! Stay tuned!

Here is a cute free voodoo doll template that I just love! The header is made with a dingbat font from "Divide by Zero". So cute and yet.... so nasty.

I liked this design when I made it last year for classic blogger and I still like it. It makes me think of all the boys I've ever had a crush on and how I was possibly completely mad at the time. Of course it's all ok now that I have found the only one that matters ;-)

If you'd rather your own heading/description not show up: email me.

The acornglue.com sale is OVER!

Thank you to all my customers!

Yes! I do listen! :)

A lot of people said they'd like to see this design for new blogger, so here you are!
I've kept the width and it's true to the original (850px) and I think you'll agree that it looks awesome as a "new blogger" template!

Download the XML template: here (zip)

Please note:
  • No, your own blog title is not going to be visible as I've removed it to make way for the Sylvia Plath quote. Sorry, that's the way I've made it. You're more than welcome to edit the image in photoshop/graphics editor though and erase what's there and put yr own thing in.
  • BACK UP your widget data!! Installing a new template one may erase the data you have there! (just in case you didn't know that).
  • If you're installing this over a "classic" or html blogger design then you may have to chose a generic blogger design before uploading this one.
ALSO...... I've been receiving a lot of emails from people asking me to re-vamp my old html versions and make them into XML ones. I will do it! I swear! The easiest way to stay updated is to subscribe to updates by email and get emailed my new designs. The subscribe box is to the in the RIGHT HAND SIDE there! >>>>

Cheers!

Here's a cute, pink, XML Blogger template. Simple and sweet:

Same drill as always if you're installing this XML blogger template -- Back up your widgets/links etc as installing a new design may erase them. If you're installing this design over a "classic" (or html) blogger template, you may have to pick a generic blogger template first before uploading this.

Hi,
I have reworked the "Birdy" blog design (previously only available for "old" blogger) into being friendly for XML/widget blogger!

Here's a screen grab:


(click for a full screen grab)

This will have no link back to me - only very small credit for the artist of the image. If you wish to include credit to me, you're welcome to do so at a later date and I can provide a button to link to me.

This design includes the XML template, instructions on how to install and a personalised header text (ie: where it currently says "Blog Title" and "Blog Description"), but does not include any altering of any other images. Please note that this text is part of the header image and won't change if you change the title of your blog from your "Dashboard".

Since you can add widgets yourself, this will be your responsibility - it's easy as you know!

$15US! Awesome!

Same deal as other designs - if you're interested, email me and I'll send you an invitation to view a test blog. You then have 24 hours to confirm you want the design and paypal me the $15US.

Questions?

Helloooo.... Christmas is coming soon and I wanted to make a design that wouldn't be too overwhelmingly Christmasy and one that you could possibly use all year 'round (incase you happen to be like me and like cute things). The beautiful ribbon Photshop brushes were made available by Hawksmont Universe. Awesome! How I love the fact that she's made the brushes available for use! Thank you x 1000000!

Enjoy....

Ok, I've made a another XML template which is pretty cute. There is room for your own description, but it's going to overlap the exclamation point (it doesn't look bad but I prefer it without). Also, this has a super cute pencil at the base of the entry! So cute!

  • Click: download the Code (zip)
  • Click: for a live preview
Note: If you have any widgets/data that you do not wish to lose in your sidebar please backup your data before uploading this - you may lose them!
  • If you are currently using a template in "Classic Blogger"
    you may have to go back to your Blogger dashboard and click on TEMPLATE >> CUSTOMISE DESIGN for it to work.
    You will have to "upgrade your template" to upload the XML file.
    It may ask you to chose a generic template first, but after doing this you can go to the below TEMPLATE screen and "upload a template from a file on your hard drive" - and it will work.
  • If you are already using "new" Blogger:
    then you should be able to upload this straight away - again, please back up your current template if you have data in the sidebar, as previously mentioned.

How to install:

Click: download the Code (zip)

ps: if you have the "Edit Post" thingy set then it's going to appear that there are 2 pencils almost overlapping at the base of the entry. Don't worry, you're the only one who sees two pencils.

Here's a blogger template (for "classic" blogger) that I've had floating around for a while. Not too fancy, but I like the colours and I know that some people want a pretty simple design.

IMPORTANT: Nov 26th Update: this design is not displaying properly in IE6, but looks very pretty on IE7, Firefox and Safari (Macs & PCs). I shouldn't be so worried I know. I do want to make sure it looks pretty for everyone so I'll try and fix it (or re-skin it) in the next week and re-upload. If you're not using the most recent version of Firefox or Internet Explorer then you're putting yourself at risk, as older versions are less secure. Check which versions you have and update.

I'm really enjoying the bare bones of this template! This is the last one for today. Look at the two previous posts if you want to see some more (simple) designs.... but here's one called "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not".

This is a slightly altered "Simple Fantasy" design, with some flowers added behind your title. The side bar is a slightly different colour also. Enjoy!

Ok, here is one of my "original" designs - "Candy Coloured Dreams" - although I have fixed up a few minor problems (it's amazing how much I've taught myself about Blogger designs over the last few months!).


(click for a live preview)
As always, I'd love to know if you use it. Leave me a comment!

PLEASE NOTE: your blog title will not show up because the header of this blog is an image - please feel free to edit this image yourself to reflect your own blog title. You will need image editing software to do this (and somewhere to host the altered image). Go crazy & show me what you do. I like doing it this way because it's more interesting - you can chose any font for a header image but you can't for an actual text header.

I know a lot of people are going to want this design using your header and description but please be patient: that design is coming! I just thought I'd quickly post this one up. I'm sooooo busy right now (with work, this site, impending xmas - omg can you believe the year is nearly over?). Apologies for not updating as much as I'd like to but I have more than 50 designs in my archive now - most with live previews - so that should keep you busy!

I love pictures of cupcakes and candy (no secret by now). Unfortunately I am not a good artist!

I got permission from the delightful Burnbadart to use an image she did of cupcakes in one of my designs and I just have to say a HUUUUGE thank you! I love these cupcakes soooo much! Simply delightful!

PS: Due to the spacing of the header image and the actual text of your heading I would advise you to have both a heading and description. If you don't have a title for your blog there is going to be some weird space there. Therefore, I advise you to have a heading a description for this template.

Incase the "Pink Flowery Border" design is too dark for you, I've made a version with a white background a cute bluey flowers! Nice! It too is wide and includes the header and description.
Enjoy!

PS: If you use any of my designs, pretty pretty please leave a comment with your blog URL so I can see it in action. xx

Here's a super-cute blog design that was inspired by a photo frame I bought for 300 Yen from a recycle (aka: second hand) shop. It looks nothing like it, but the inspiration came from there!

I like this design a lot. It's available with and without titles (note: preview blog is without title of course!). If you download the zip file, you'll see it includes both codes.

Hi, I always thought it would be romantic and cool to drive to LA in the middle of the night with a hunky boyfriend. Seeking fame, seeking fortune, seeking better things. So... here's a blog design to that effect! Ta-Da! I like this one a lot.

PLEASE NOTE: your blog title WILL NOT show up within the top of the design because the header of this blog is an image and this is the way I have made it - please feel free to edit this image yourself to reflect your own blog title. You will need image editing software to do this (and somewhere to host the altered image). Go crazy & show me what you do.

This design is called "Autumn Sweater" and, as you can see, it's extremely similar to "Where's Jack?" (see below). I'm sick of summer and can't wait for autumn - well, Northern Hemisphere autumn anyway. Those below the equator are headed for summer (HAHAHA!). I had two summers in 2007 and it was waaaay too many for me. Luckily next year I'll get two winters! Hoorah!

I'm pretty busy these days, but here is another design: My Blog is Yummy!

The photo is by Dawn Allynn (go and check out her website!) and it's literally eye candy! I am absolutely in love with this photo! Thank you so much for allowing me to use it.

I can pretty much do any background colour you'd like - so please do let me know if you'd prefer another colour. At first I thought pink, then green but settled on purple. The main focus is the candy itself, so we need something relatively neutral in the background.

ps: I've fixed the Mac zipping problem and replaced all previous Zip files. There will be absolutely no problems anymore!
