Help!

Ok, so I like attempting to make my blog look cute... so I looked through tons of layouts, backgrounds, etc yesterday and came up with the conclusion that I need to just make my own! Buuuuut that is proving to be more difficult than I thought it would be. I decided to start simple by just making my own header and uploading it... but it's not working!! Anyone out there who can help me? I tried selecting the most simple layout available, and then just changing the "header element" with the one I made... looks like it works, uploads, shows that my image has been uploaded... and then when I preview my layout, it looks the exact same! No change! SO FRUSTRATING!! I even had Tim try (he is amazing), but! To no avail! Bah!

Soooo, here is the header I made (minus a title... just the background). I'm pretty proud of it. :D

I think I might be getting into this whole digital scrapbooking thing - that's how I made the header - with elements from a digital scrapbooking kit in Photoshop Elements... pretty sweet eh??

Ok, now I'll show you the whole page I made... then I discovered that the dimensions were wrong - DOH!

A little busy maybe... but cute for my very first stab at digital scrapbooking/layout making??

Okay... back to downloading free digital scrapbooking kits and creating a filing system for them... I love organizing. I think I should be a professional organizer someday. How nerdy am I? :)
