    The BIG FAT Blog Redesign Contest!!!!

    By Stacy 9 Comments

    I personally have changed since starting this blog and I think my blog has evolved as well. When I started I was all over the place and I had an identity crisis. Now that I have been blogging 8 months I feel like I have the hang of it. Since I have grown I would like to have a new design. I was going to wait until my blog's anniversary but that is 4 months away! I am sooooo not that patient.

    I have been torn about this because I love my header. AND I HATE CHANGE. And my husband illustrated the "housewife". But I feel like this will be a good thing for the direction my blog has gradually taken.  It is one of those "better in the long run" kind of decisions.

    I thought it might be fun to see what my readers come up with for my new header. You don't need to be a professional blog designer. Anyone who knows how can join in. If you have friends who do you can invite them to join in as well.  The more the merrier :)

    Here is the inspiration that I want you to kind of go off of.  I LOVE these colors. They make me happy :) And I love the print too.

    (source: Bed Bath and Beyond)

    Isn't that such an awesome print???

    *I would love to see what you come up with using this as inspiration. I want it to be simple and clean.  But not too simple, if you know what I mean. I want it to look professional but still bright and fun.

    *My current header is 980 x 450. I kind of like that size but I am open to something else.

    * The image must be a png, jpeg, or jpg

    * If I choose your design you must agree to sign over the right of the artwork and design to me.

    *The artwork must be your own design

    *If you are feeling super inspired and you make more than one design I will gladly accept multiple design from you :)

    *I will leave this open until June 6th.

    *When you have your completed header design(s)  please email them to me at notjustahousewife@yahoo.com

    Now I am sure you are all wondering "What the heck is in it for me????" At least that is what I would be thinking. Well, besides the fact that you will get to visit my site and see your lovely design everyday, I will offer the winning designer 6 MONTHS OF ADVERTISING ON MY SIDE BAR plus  A WRITE UP ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SITE. You will also get to see the words "This blog was designed by __________" at the bottom of my blog forever and ever. Awww.....

    And if you live close I just might make you some cookies :)

    Thank you in advance to any of you who choose to do this. I can't wait to see what you come up with!!!!!!!!! And feel free to spread the word to anyone you think might be interested.

    ***UPDATE***

    Here are the colors from the pictures above. You can use these exact colors or different shades. Or you can totally surprise me :)

      Well I was almost completely done designing a banner for you when my stupid computer crashed. GRRR! I am determined to make one though so I guess I am going to start from scratch! :) I hope you like what I come up with. It's something completely out of my comfort zone and not like anything I've ever created! :D

      Bummer! Time flies so fast :) If you end up extending this please let us know. I was going to work up a header but ran out of time last week. Otherwise, I hope you're getting lots and lots of creative ideas!
