I have found some new places to play and feed my need to change backgrounds. If you are wordpress.com or blogspot these will work for you. They are free but leave the ladies a comment or 2 on their blogs and tell them how you feel. Oh the fun I am going to have.
Penny Duncan Creations:
These backgrounds are lovely representations of old world and vintage country designs. They have a faded, pale but charming look to them. You can’t go wrong whichever one you choose. She has also created matching headers for each background but it would be hard to use the headers on wordpeess.com blogs. Penny Duncan Creations
Hot Bliggity Blog:
These designs work very well with wordpress.com blogs. There are many 3 column designs and so many choices of great backgrounds. They are easy to install, just copy and paste the code into your stylesheet. There are so many lovely designs here that you could change your background to a different design every day for the next 4 months. Your background will never be boring with Hot Bliggity Blogs Designs. Give them a try.
Izzie Grace Designs:
These are a little more difficult to use but not too much. You have to copy and paste the url into the code she gives you for your stylesheet, that’s all. I also love the name Izzy Grace. Her backgrounds are cute, fun and kitschy. She also has a lot of seasonal backgrounds, especially Christmas. These are also free backgrounds.
Blogger Boutique:
That’s right, I found a new place to get backgrounds. It is called Blogger Boutique. She does custom designs but has a few free backgrounds you can play with. Once again they were not meant for wordpress.com but they work just fine. I still have a problem with the frames but I really like that some of them look like suede. The other designs are very nice as well. I have included 2 of her designs below. Give her a look and try them out, maybe she will be inspired to make more for wordpress.com blogs.
Dotty Dot Dot Designs:
There are so many designs here at Dotty Dot Dot Designs you could spend all day trying them out. They are free and she does a lot of 3 column designs. She has outstanding colors in her backgrounds, it is like a crayola palette. Check her out, you will be amazed, I certainly was. Below are just a few of her designs. They all work on wordpress if you have the css upgrade. She even has a red one called Vampire, how cool is that.
See my new background, it is called Green Damask. I get my backgrounds from The Background Fairy and I love them. She recently made this one but in a 2 column with a scroll frame. These frames can sometimes obscure the words because they are made for blogger not wordpress blogs. The 3 column backgrounds without the frames work great on wordpress so I left a comment on her website and she listened and took the time to redesign it, how great is that. She says she doesn’t know why they work for wordpress and I know of no other blogger design that does. I am just happy they do because wordpress is sadly lacking in this department. Check out her website if you need a background, they are free and she has many beautiful vintage designs, you have seen only a few of them here. Her websites are
