I'm FALL-ing for you!

Ah, September! I can hardly wait for that first "crisp" feel in the air! The 'official' first day of Autumn is coming very soon, too! In celebration of one of the most beautiful times of the year... early Fall... I made some backgrounds that echo the ambience of this delightful season.

Credit: The free backgrounds in this series were made using papers and elements from Friendly Scrap.

Remember......
For the sake of saving space, I have not posted previews of the three column versions of every background... (although I do try to do that when the three column version looks different.) ...the code is just underneath the 'standard' width code for each design. (They usually look very much like the standard width except that the middle section is just a little wider.)

To use a free background, copy the code underneath the background of your choice and paste it into an HTML/javascript gadget on your blog sidebar. :) For more details (and how to install a background into a Picture Window template, see the installation instructions page.)

So what's your favorite season? :D

As always, I'd love to hear which of this series of backgrounds is your favorite... it helps me design more of what people like to see. ;)

Enjoy!

Artistic Illustrations

*Imagine your favorite music playing*

I love this set of backgrounds. They're all very 2-d, and look like something you might draw or paint... and they're so artsy! :D Most of these are all very different from anything I've ever seen out there in blogworld. I have no idea if anybody but myself is going to even like them! But I enjoyed designing them, so even if nobody thinks these are any good, it doesn't matter to me. :D

Remember......
For the sake of saving space, I have not posted previews of the three column versions of every background... (although I do try to do that when the three column version looks different.) ...the code is just underneath the 'standard' width code for each design. (They usually look very much like the standard width except that the middle section is just a little wider.)

Vintage and Antique, Inspired by Dearest Jane

I received a request for Antique blog backgrounds, and decided to design some that fit that description. While creating them I was struck with the idea to name them all after something from Jane Austen's books, and suddenly my mind was bursting with ideas!
I should make you guess where each name is from... ;) But I'll be nice and tell you with every one. :D I was planning on releasing these next week... but then I heard that one of my friends was going to be using an "I Love it!" background with her upcoming blog makeover. Knowing her to be a fellow Jane Austen Fan, I let her know about the coming backgrounds, and she said that she would definitely be waiting on them.

So I designed ALL of these yesterday, and am sharing them today! *awesomeness* :D

Credit: The free backgrounds in this series were almost solely made using elements from Friendly Scrap, and a ribbon from Summertime Designs and another ribbon I found in a freebie kit from Wishing Well Creations.
Remember......
For the sake of saving space, I have not posted previews of the three column versions of every  background... (although I do try to do that when the three column version looks different.) ...the code is just underneath the 'standard' width code for each design. (They usually look very much like the standard width except that the white middle section is just a little wider.)
To use a free background, copy the code underneath the background of your choice and paste it into an HTML/javascript gadget on your blog sidebar. :) For more details (and how to install a background into a Picture Window template, see the installation instructions page.)

Lol... fans of Northanger Abbey will quickly recognize this scene from the book. Catherine Morland, staying in what she sees as the deliciously spooky Northanger Abbey, explores a 'mysterious chest' in her bedroom... only to find.... I shall not tell. You'll have to read the book yourself. ;)

This is also from Northanger Abbey, when Catherine goes to stay in Bath (before going on to Northanger Abbey) - but it would fit with several other Jane Austen stories that also include scenes in Bath.

Pride & Prejudice again! Elizabeth asks Mr. Darcy his opinion on this point, and at the time he cannot say which. But I think he later forms something like an opinion to the former. Inspiration for the colors came from the Keira Knightley movie version, in the scene where she asks this question. Mr. Bingley's drawing room looked so elegant! But I vastly prefer the Jennifer Ehle movie version in general.

From Mansfield Park - Sotherton was the incredibly grand (if stuffy, and a little in need of "improvement") estate of Mr. Rushworth, a lesser character in the story but one of my favorites as to providing humorous material... and he has my sympathy in his choice of wives.

I included a preview of the 3 Column version of this one because it's a bit different than the original... the lacy ribbon borders are darker.

This is from Emma, from a conversation between Mr. Knightley and Mrs. Weston (Emma's ex-governess) about Emma. I think the shade of pink looks very much like the gown she wears to the ball in the Romola Garai movie version! :D

And, you know, 'cause I have this thing for chandeliers, I had to make a version with one. ;)

This title is based off a remark that Fanny Dashwood makes in Sense and Sensibility. She's the evil sister-in-law that you love to hate in the story.
