My cork board layout!

Yes finally my new layout is up after almost a month of making it. At first, I’ve been debating if I’m gonna make a photographic style just like this one (click this) but then later on I realized that I want a layout that has much space to put on my ads and other “bling-bling”. I’ve  also wanted to make a layout that would fit in for a mommy blogger like me with baby colors, you know, stuff like that. Overall I like my new layout. It took me so much time to finish this because while I’m doing it I’m also searching for tutorials or new techniques to make things what I want it to be. I know graphic designing and web designing are evolving in such a short time so all the commands I’ve known in Adobe Photoshop might now be obsolete. I’m just so proud with what I have come up coz I’ve learned new techniques on how to displace image and how to morph in Photoshop in just a minute coz I’m lazy, that’s why LOL , what I mean is that I’m too lazy to draw my graphics manually. So I search for solutions to make it easy for me. For you to know, I’m a great procrastinator

I enhanced everything except for the cork board, its not totally mine. BTW, I used a premade layout and modified it. One thing that made me wonder for a week is the footer of this layout. It was encrypted, I can read the code so I need to make it from scratch, thats what took my time. So what do you think guys? Is it heavy on the eyes? coz I find it a little heavy. Tell me if my blog loads too slow so I can find away to edit all the images.
