Congratulations, Amber (comment #69)!

Nice! It’s so pretty.
Such a pretty banner! Can’t wait to see it on the blog.
Sweet good job, Amber! You did great!
So did everyone else. They were all so pretty! :D
No offense, but I really liked the one you had up already. But there’s no way I could make something like the new one. I think it would be vastly improved if the text were easier to read, though.
All of them are gorgeous, my favourite being Mandy Kuran`s!!! What about changing the header often, like Heather, from dooce.com does every month?
Congratulations Amber, very pretty banner!
And yay, I got third, I’m happy ^_^
wow amber your banner is amaaaazing!! so cool and creative. LIPSTICK CONTESTS RESULTS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:P
All of these are gorgeous, (Emily’s is definitely my personal favorite) congrats to Amber
My god they’re all incredible!
I particularly love jessie dawn’s so sci-fi looking
I was gonna suggest the same thing…. Putting up a different one each month. They’re all so beautiful.
Oh and I must say, I loved your old banner too…. It was so sweet, this one is just a bit of getting used to I think. It’s amazing in detail, like the unicorn in your glasses!!! :)
HOLY CANNOLI! I am floored by how amazing and on-the-mark all of these entries were. Great job everyone!
I personally think Emily’s is the best.
They are did well, but Mandy Kuran’s is my absolute favorite!
…futuriatic?
Is that a word?
But yeah, it’s a beautiful banner, reminds me of sherbet ice cream!
Never mind, squinted and apparently it says futuristic… Blonde moment.
Amazing job!
and not to take away from anything but a gently notice that my name listed shouldn’t be AmberLynn… though technically that is my name (Amber Lynn).
Oh, I like it! Yet I do wonder if those images used are copyrighted, because I have that scrapbook paper (the fairy and unicorn).
Oh wow! I can’t believe I won! I honestly thought Emily or Mandy would’ve had me beat, so I’m thoroughly honored! Thanks a bunch! ^_^
I don’t like so much this banner, i prefer Mandy Kuran’s banner…
I hate to be a big downer but I think the banner you picked does a huge disservice to your blog. It looks entirely unprofessional and is even a little hard to read. :(
x, i’m agree =s
It’s pretty but, as others pointed out already, it’s really hard to read.
Everyone did a great job, but I have to say that, personally, Amber Lynn’s banner as my favorite -that was awesome!!!
Congrats Amber (#69)!!!:)
Sincerely, I prefer the previous one. I don’t think this one fit… I’m disappointed by your choice. There was so much others more attractive!
By the way, good job everybody!
I agree with Kat A, it’s really good but the text is hard to read
Wow, amazing work, all of them! I love Mandy Kuran’s banner! I wish she could make me one ;) I’m hopeless ^^’
I don’t really like it to be honest. I can’t deny the awesome workmanship and great design, but for me it just doesn’t encapsulate what is doedeere blogazine. I love Emily’s banner the most.
To me it’s just the perfect balance of fantasy, candy and design. ^__^;;
i thought that Maria G. had the best one (exept mine of course :P)
i think that the current banner is incredibly hard to read :(
I’m not surprised you had difficulty choosing. They’re all lovely. The creators must have spent a lot of time on these!
x
It’s hard to decide – I think my favorites are Mandy Kuran’s, Maria G’s, and AmberLynn’s.
I also find this one difficult to read, I’m afraid.
Each one is incredibly sweet! I can see why it was hard! Amazing talent!
I think they were all incredible, but many were leaning more towards fantasy than future. I blame myself; I haven’t demonstrated enough of the candyfuture aesthetic yet. Must do a post on Candyfuture fashion soon!
I love the current banner because it has a good balance of candy colors, fairytale and futurism. We will return to the original banner in a few weeks though. :)
I really like Mandy’s and Amberlynn’s a lot better than this one. =/ The font is hard to read, not spaced correctly. The banner itself is mostly just textures and pictures that have their colors inverted. Why not use the prettier ones or your original banner?
Congratulations! The new banner is great!
Congrats everyone on their banners! ^^
oh everyone did a amazing job. This banner hurts my eyes trying to read it though but that art work is stunning!
Also I was wondering what Heidi pointed out about the unicorn and fairy images being copyrighted. I have that scrap book paper too. I didnt even notice it until she pointed it out.
Well, I’m excited to hear that there will be more candyfuture fashion postings! I’ve been really inspired by the idea and am excited to watch it unfold and evolve here on this fabulous blog :D
I do miss the old banner but change is good too!
Verrry pretty! My goodness, I am amazed at the talent of all the artists!
I gotta say, the prancing unicorn in your sunglasses is a great touch!
The new banner is really pretty! Congratulations Amber. Everyone did a fantastic job. I personally prefer banners with actual photographs of you, Doe, because you’re absolutely gorgeous. However, the winning banner is a work of art. I’m glad you were able to pick one that you feel embodies your blogazine and your concept of Candyfuture.
Great job on the new banner. Every time I come here I just stare at it for a few minutes. It’s so pretty!
- I also LOVE this new banner and would be more than happy to see it stay :-)
I’m honored to be mentioned ! Congrats to the winner !
Im back from my vacation in Greece and I read who the winner was, congratulations!! what a big honour to have your design on Doe’s blog!! Im so happy to me mentioned too!! thanks a lot. Im looking forward to seeing your Candyfuture fashion post!! Have a great time, kisses!
Oops! sorry! I meant: “Im so happy to BE mentioned too!”
I really REALLY liked the layout of the blogazine when I first started reading it. All colorful and kind of circus-y. Now it’s a bit washed out :(
