I’ve got a new banner for my page!! Whoo hoo!
I have been meaning to change my banner for some time now, but my lacking in tech-y skills on the computer has slowed me down. However, I do have a sweet, loving, computer-geek husband (whom I love like crazy) that helps me and has been slowly teaching me how to use Adobe Illustrator. This banner is the product of my elementary skills on Illustrator.
It’s a pretty cool process if you have the patience for it. (I have realized how little patience I have…) Basically though, I wrote out “Lydia’s Cozy Corner” and drew some flowers and leaves with paper and pen, scanned it in on our computer, vectorized it, and then cleaned it up in Illustrator. That’s the very short version for you!
You like? Of course I need to add a ton more, but this is all I’ve got in me for now!!

I love my computer geek husband too. What would we do without them? And I love your new banner–so sweet and warm. Just lovely.

Oops, that last comment was from Susan of Food Blogga. My husband was logged in last.

Nice! I’d love to be able to figure out how to get a spiffy banner on my blog, but lack the HTML know-how. Yours looks great– really fits well with your calligraphy work too!

[...] For the stationary, I hand drew the strawberries, along with her name and then scanned them into my computer. After this, Ivectorized the image, adjusted it in Illustrator, added some color, and then printed them out. (I know I’ve gone through thisbefore) [...]
