    OK, three parts to this one. The site is http://tinyurl.com/3bkhvg.

    $50 for each part. This is open for three days.

    1. Header for the site to replace the very poor homemade one. Any design at the moment. No firm ideas, just fit in with the colour scheme there already.

    There are googleads on the site currently which will be removed and need to be replaced with:

    2. For the top googleads space - a banner to link to a tutorial page to make hand made greetings cards. I would like something animated and flashy. Some pictures here could be used.

    3. For the skyscraper ad on the right - a banner that will link to craftsbypaulette.co.uk that will sell materials to make this kind of stuff. Again some moving parts would be cool.

    Feel free to enter for all three or just one. I will be online frquently to give feedback. Payment in three days by paypal. Thanks.

    craftsbypaulette.co.uk is not active yet, there is no content at the moment but it will be selling things like card, paper, ribbons, embellishments and craft tools, etc...

    Ariestoteles - the dimensions for the top banner are 468 x 60, it's going to replace where the googleads are presently. Apart from the size, the gif is just the kind of thing I want.

    The design itself for the header is good but I'd like to see some more ideas. (and it's cards plural, not card). I've seen some of your other work and I know you could pull up something fantastic!!

    Gif banner sizes are 468 x 60 and 160 x 578. Header is 800 x 130.

    In general for the header, looking for something simple and uncluttered, maybe just a nice font for the "Cards by Paulette" and a picture or two like you've done. The colours you used are OK, would like to see some other colours too though to compare.

    Need anything else?

    Nice effort stevogarvey. I definitely like that font. Could you put the web address in lower case not caps? And I think the selection of cards are too white against the background. Could you put in cards with more colour. And can you make the card selection slope the opposite way? :)

    kdemonte - I like the background and layout, don't like the font, more like stevogarvey's above. And the cards layout is great but don't like the chopped off corners.

    Mysmasken - that's great! The wording colour is a bit too dark and my poor photo taking skills are shown up too much on the middle card. But overall this simple, uncluttered look is what I want.

    I really like the font and silver colour of stevogarveys entry though.
