A new look for Ellie's Treasures

I have been talking about getting a new look for my shop for quite some time and finally it's here.  Actually, you may well have noticed the new look on here and my shop from a couple of weeks, but I'm writing about it now because all my communication links, Facebook, Twitter, blog and of course Ellie's Treasures at Folksy have finally be updated.

My original look was smart, but dark and I was amazed at how fresh paler colours seem, giving my shop a totally different appearance.  With it's creamy background, hand-drawn and painted little cottage scene (I love hearts, so the pic had to be nestled inside one) - the new look is simple and very personal.

With the help from the two children, I gingerly worked my way around Paint Shop Pro to trim and neaten up my picture, use colour, choose a font and add writing.  I'm getting there, just a bit slowly!

My grab button to the side of my blog post has now been updated if anyone would like to update a previous Ellie's Treasures button they have on their blogs or websites.  Other readers - please feel free to grab the new button!
