So this morning I thought I would just play around on the internet for a while, before doing anything. I came across Charley's blog, and discovered her new layout, this made me think, hmm, I should browse for a new layout, as I've gotten a bit bored of mine.

So then after finding a bunch that I liked, but didn't want as my own blog layout just yet (maybe we'll see some of them in the future), I decided I wanted something London reminiscent, as I've been especially missing it as of late. Of course, there are hardly and layouts featuring London, or London as I remember it, so I decided, I'll just have to make my own.

Originally I wanted to make a skyline kinda graphic (similar to the Threadless T-shirt linked in the Inspiration/Credit area) with Big Ben, and the London Eye, Picadilly Circus, and Trafalgar Square in it. However, finding these graphics that would easily be made into silhouettes was a bit more difficult than I thought.

I then suddenly remembered the cartoon-ish skyline with the chimney sweeps from the Mary Poppins musical...which I was originally gonna use, but I only had a pic from my cd case cover, and and one online that were a bit too realistic for me (and hard to make look non-3Dimensional) so I decided to use just the cartoon-y backdrop that is behind the Chimney Sweeps, and then the Mary Flying away, with the moon in the background, and of course the catch phrase, all fell into place naturally.

So here it is. My semi-london-esque, yet still very Steph, new blog layout :)
