A Whole Lota Changes Going On

If you are a frequent visitor to the “dog house” you may have noticed that I have been changing a few things.  In fact probably too many changes but I will write about that later.  For now I just want to share what I have been working on behind the scenes.

First and foremost I have been creating a new logo.

After researching the options I decided to create my own logo from scratch.  Not an easy task as I soon found out.  But since my budget was practically nonexistent and I wanted to own all the rights to the logo it was worth the effort. 

I started the process by taking a few pictures.

Getting my dogs to “pose” for a single picture is like herding cats so my handsome hubby helped out by offering treats to my “models”.

Then I used PhotoShop Elements to cut out the image and turn it into a silhouette.   This was a ton harder than that it sounds.  I am not sure I am a fan of PhotoShop.

Then I arranged my three dogs, gave them red collars and red heart tags and voila I have a new logo.  I am still working on the final design of my blog header but it should make its debut soon.

Thanks for reading,

    I would love to have a blog button, but I am just not smart enough to figure all that junk out! I guess I need to start saving money to get someone to do all this stuff for me.LOL! I do love your dog silhouettes!

  3. You are one smart gal. Love the puppie"s silhouettes. I am not sure I could do that. However, YOU can make your button. It you did this logo you can do the button. I am going to email you the instructions I used to create mine.
    Hugs, have a nice weekend. Ginger
