Unveilling My New Blog Header

What do you think? Pretty snazzy ay? Thought it was about time I spruced up the ole blog with an amazing header.

Created it with entirely with Photoshop, which I'm not really a master of, but know how to do basic designing. I’m not good with tutorials, but if you want any tips or want to ask how I did certain bits of it. Just ask.

Took me a few hours of design work (and neglecting my girlfriend) to complete. This was my first idea on how I wanted it to look, but somewhere along the way I deviated and wanted a kind of Out of Bounds lion lying out of a picture look…. A few minutes into that idea, I opted to go for a similar but effective approach, which looks quite snazzy.

The pics are from left to right. (1) a great pic I found online of a lion and cub. Thought it would be great to have (me being the lion and Kallam, my son being the cub) (2) A pic of me and Louise (my girlfriend, and fellow blogger – if you are wanting some nail tips visit her blog here) and (3) a great pic of me at Edinburgh Museum posing with some fellow lions :¬)
I think the header gives my blog a professional but fun look and I’m proud of it :¬)

My Week in Insta-Vision

Heres another installment of My Week in Insta-vision. :¬)

I enjoy these blog posts. Very fun :)


(from top > bottom - left > right)

1. Super Lamb Banana

These are a pic of four Superlambbananas that were outside of the Museum of Liverpool. They were really colourful and fun to look at. We went to Liverpool on the Saturday for a day out. Perfect for an artsy-photoshoot :¬) Kallam was a bit scared of them, and if I were a four year old looking up at them, I'd be a bit scared too :)

2. Water fun in the garden

Went to my sisters on the Sunday to laze around in the garden. Unfortunately, Kallam found a water gun and played havoc getting everyone wet :¬)

3. My sister and Jack

A great pic I took of my sister Mandy and her son Jack, while we were out having some sunday dinner.

4. Louise and Kallam

A great picture of Louise and Kallam on the Ferry crossing over the river mersey. Has to be one of my fave pics of them together. I love them both.

5. Kallam and Jack

A great pic of Kallam and his couisn Jack havin fun in the sun when we were out on Sunday having some dinner.

6. Ferry cross the Mersey

A pic of the ferry we took that crossed the Mersey. First time I had been on one too. It was a great journey. Kallam was a bit scared at first but calmed down after a bit. :)

7. The Journey Home

A good pic of Louise and Kallam chilling out on our way home from Liverpool by train.  Kallams showing off one of his toys we took with us to keep him entertained.  Got a bit wet after he spilt some drink on me lol

8. Our Casper

A good close up of our Casper. Its hard to get a good pic of him as he always moves when a camera is pointed at him. any other time he is motionless as a statue. lol

9. Enjoying an ice cream in Liverpool

One of my fave pics of the weekend. We stopped for ice creams before going on the ferry and saw an opportunity to snap Kallam away getting messy with a cold treat :¬)

Will do this again next week, hopefully it will be a weekly thing now.

see ya laters
