Here are my archived my former layouts.
They have all been quite brilliant in their own way and I adored each one of them.
If you'd like to view them you can click the thumbnail for a better look.
My Very First Header
Harry/Ginny made by
egobruises from gorgeous artwork by
punkinart.
She was so gracious in letting me have permission to use it! ;)
Second Header
This one, I used for the longest time - from about Christmas 2005 until Late Summer 2006
Cross Shipping made from my absolutimo supreme favourite HP artwork by the magnificent
seviet.
She specifically gave me permission - so I feel super loved. :)
Third Header
My first BSG layout. Apollo/Starbuck made by
space_graphics - the beginning of my love affair with
mercscilla (an amazing layout maker)! This was when I started fiddling with coding on my own.
Fourth Header
Knife!Kara. My favourite scene from the season three premiere. It was brilliant! I didn't make this header though - a former friend at the time did - but she made it for me because I wouldn't shut up about this scene. lol.
Fifth Header
Kara/Lee made by bsg_darkangel as a wallpaper... but I thought it was brilliant and asked her if I could use it for my header. It was a little 'purple' for me so it didn't last long.
Sixth Header
Draco/Ginny - My Harry Potter OTP made by the fabulous
liriehalliwell. She wrote the prose on it too.
I made the background though...using the brilliant brushes by
colorfilter ;)
When sky fell down, she held me steady.
When tears broke free, she hid my eyes.
To her I run when world collapse.
In her I breath when feelings rise.
When darkness called, he held me closer.
When blood ran wild, he soothed my mind.
To him I trail when world gets madder.
In him I fall when feelings bind.
Seventh Header
Draco/Ginny=Treason - Again,
liriehalliwell created this work of absolutely stunning OoTP goodness.
She made me a new FO Banner to match as well as this smashing icon and she wrote the prose too:
Brush past me as we cross the hall
No one shall then suspect a treason
For such perverse and filthy lies
We have our own most precious reasons
Slap me when we fight again
For the amusement of the others
And when withdrawn to your own room
Remember that we still are lovers
Eighth Header
I wrote Tracey Davis and and this is she and Theo Nott from
caliga_rpg. This layout lasted for less than a week because as soon as I got it up - my writing partner and I parted ways. It's too bad - because it was beautiful.
Ninth Header
This was my first Header that I made for myself from the ground up.
It is the true representation of
jandjsalmon - Jay and Jessica Salmon.
Tenth Header
By
liriehalliwell - absolutely STUNNING! I loved it. Lirie is the most amazingly talented woman on the planet.
The CSS is by
space_graphics.
The poem by Lirie:
They speak in whispers
Bathed in moonlight
They touch with fear
That time might sway
They listen for
The falling footsteps
They breathe each other
Come what may
Eleventh Header
I found this image on the internet actually right after I watched 'The Boondock Saints' and I made a header out of it... SOOO much love for Murphy and Connor. The header says: And shepherd we shall be for thee my Lord for thee. The FO Banner says: 'Only The Innocent - Comment to Be Added' The CSS is by
space_graphics.
Twelfth Header
The BSG Season 4 Promo pictures came out and
starpollo used a 'The Little Prince' quote.
SO much love for that book and my BSG OTP. She made the FO Banner too! WOOT!
Thirteenth/Fourteenth Header
My Role Playing Game OTP - Tracey Davis and Greg Goyle (as played by Keri Russell and Taylor Kitsch). The M'fhíorghrá on the header is Irish Gaelic for 'My True Love' and it says Val and Maeve - it's what they call one another in all the fanfic I used to write.
Fifteenth Header
A Randomizey Header. I had three characters at
si_muove_rpg so I made a header of each. Justin Finch Fletchly (John Krasinski), Signe Fawcett (AJ Cook), and Tracey Davis (Keri Russell). It randomized each time you refreshed. The layout was by someone called rebevnet - but I never quite loved the colours I chose. It didn't last long.
Sixteenth Header
Stardust. I love this movie! One of my most favourite movie. I made this - with the help of a texture from
Hybrid Genesis. The layout code was an original by
street_of_mercy and I just fiddled with it.
Seventeenth Header
The Slytherins from
si_muove_rpg. Well, not all of them - but this is the group who happen to be Harry's age. Justin Hartley as Draco Malfoy. Catherine Zeta-Jones as Pansy Parkinson. Keri Russle as Tracey Davis. Taylor Kitsch as Gregory Goyle. Zooey Deschanel as Millicent Bulstrode. Shemar Moore as Blaise Zabini. Jared Padalecki as Theodore Nott. The layout code was an original by
barubaron and I just fiddled with it.
Eighteenth Header
Taylor Kitsch - with a Remy LeBeau quote - because he makes an OH!So!Pretty Gambit in the pretty darn terrible 'Wolverine' movie. The quote is very ME. The layout code was by
scholarslayouts and very little was changed - other than colours and fonty sizes. :D
Nineteenth Header
The Rasmus. The words are from their song 'October and April' and I thought it was VERY cool that the dark side and the light side pictures perfectly mirror one another. The layout code was by
barubaron and I changed a lot of colours and the font and a few wee things. :D
Twentieth Header
Henry Cavill. Perfection himself. The words are a double meaning. Firstly - it would be an easy choice when it comes to snogging the heck out of the man - but also I've made some tough choices that year already but sometimes my choices weren't all that hard. The layout code was by
barubaron and I changed a lot of colours and the font and a few wee things. :D
Twenty First Header
The Doctor. Ten is my most favourite Doctor. David Tennant is pretty much perfection. The screen caps were from The End of Time - made by
rollina-gate. The layout code was by
barubaron. I ADORE the cute TARDIS mini-icons I made for the community/usernames.
Twenty Second Header
For my thirtieth birthday I decided to treat myself and make a Hanson Layout. Nothing says 'celebrating my youth' like going retro... well, sorta. 1997 isn't really RETRO. The layout code was by
xaddictionsx.
Twenty Third Header
Bowie. The man is epic and I adore him. I'd been listening to a LOT of his music around the time I made this header (though he's been one of my favourites since forever and a day) and the song that the text is taken from (The Man Who Sold The World) is one of my favourites. The images are from the 2004 Reality Tour... I was lucky enough to see him in concert for that tour and it was AMAZING! Again, the layout code was by
xaddictionsx - in fact it's very similar to the last layout only with more dramatic edits to the original css code.
Twenty Forth Header
Spring Awakening. I love Iwan Rheon as Moritz. The words are particularly important to me because I firmly believe that Happiness is a choice. I don't do sadness. Don't want any part of it. I went through a pretty nasty year in 2010 but once I got through it - got rid of some toxic friends - everything was golden. I made a choice to be happy. :) The layout code was by
minty_peach - though I did a lot of work to it and added elements that weren't there that I liked.
Twenty Fifth Header
JAM - or Jim and Pam. My OTP from The Office. I have a massive tv!crush on Jim Halpert. He may be the perfect man. And I love he and Pam together and I loved this photoshoot of JKras and Jenna Fischer so it HAD to be made into a layout. I found the whitewashed background on fanpop I think and I fiddled to make the header. Then I snagged the CSS coding from
barubaron and made it my own. The song lyrics are from "Something Deeper" by Prospect Mali. I like this one a lot. :)
Twenty Sixth Header
Jonathan Groff. I love this man. He's utterly beautiful on the inside and out. I was turned on to St. Berry Glee fanfiction - and I took the images of Wendla and Melchior from Spring Awakening to prettify my journal. Again the CSS coding is from
barubaron (I pretty much love it so I've used it lots and lots!)
Twenty Seventh Header
Jim Halpert might be the most perfect specimen of fictional awesomeness. I was in the mood for a change and while I like the layout I wanted a pretty new header with this amazing quote from the episode where Jim and Pam get married in The Office. Again the CSS coding is from
barubaron.
Twenty Eighth Header
Violet and Tate from American Horror Story. Their nickname is VIOLATE and I love them like burning! He's a ghost who shot up his school 17 years ago and she's a 17 year old depressed and angry girl who moved into his haunted house with her family. It sounds cheesy but it's a scary, creepy show with all sorts of other things going on... and HOLY HANNAH the cinematography is amazing. I haven't loved a couple like this in YEARS! The CSS is from
averillovessev over at
mintyapple.
Twenty Ninth Header
Fourtris. I'm a fangirl of Taissa Farmiga and she would make THE PERFECT Tris Prior from Veronica Roth's 'Divergent' book series (where the text on the header comes from as well). Along with the beautiful Max Irons (who I've fan!casted as Tobias Eaton) - I think Lionsgate would be FOOLISH to cast anyone else in the roles for the upcoming movie. Again the CSS coding is from
barubaron.
Thirtieth Header
Another Violate Layout. Tate Langdon and Violet Harmon from American Horror Story are my OTP. The song lyrics are from Second Chances by Paper Route. The original graphic is by an awesome girl over on tumblr named
Chloe-Luffs-tv and the CSS coding is from
heavyarms.

Thirty First Header
I've gone back to my roots with a layout from
street_of_mercy and a header that I've used before. I watched Stardust on New Years Eve and I remembered how much I loved it. It's been on my list of top five desert island movies and I LOVE this scene. "Of course I came back. I love you." Just GUH!
Thirty Second Header
I love gnomes. And I love President Deiter F Uchtdorf - and this is one of my favourite quotes by him.
The CSS code is by
XADDICTIONSX - I've used it before but I tweeked it differently this time. :)
Thirty Third Header
Reylo. The text is from "How Soon is Now?" by The Smiths and the images are from Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. I have a Star Wars addiction and I'm not even sorry. The Force Awakens was AMAZING and it made me love Kylo Ren (who is actually Ben Solo) and I ship him with the kick!ass awesome scavenger from Jakku, Rey. He's currently mired in the Dark Side... but I have faith that he will be redeemed. In fact, I have basically decided that #SaveBenSolo is my new mantra. The coding is very similar to my 29th Header - and the CSS coding is from
barubaron.
Thirty Fourth (and current) Header
Bughead. Or Sprousehart. Either or. I'm very into Riverdale and the main pairing is Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones. Thus Bughead. However - the characters are played by real-life couple Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart. Thus Sprousehart. The lyrics are from an AMAZING story by SingSongSung called
Keep you Like an Oath (literally the most angsty fic in the tales of an endless heart series - which will wreck your heart) The coding is very similar to my 33rd Header - and the CSS coding is from
barubaron.
Thirty Fourth Header
Bughead. Or Sprousehart. Either or. I'm very into Riverdale and the main pairing is Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones. Thus Bughead. However - the characters are played by real-life couple Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart. Thus Sprousehart. The lyrics are from an AMAZING story by SingSongSung called
Keep you Like an Oath (literally the most angsty fic in the tales of an endless heart series - which will wreck your heart) The coding is very similar to my 33rd Header - and the CSS coding is from
barubaron.
Thirty Fifth Header
Sprousehart broke up and I did not want LR anywhere near my LiveJournal - so I made a new cover with just Cole Sprouse. I love the quote by Vonnegut and that photoshoot was seriously a gift. Loved it. The coding is very similar to my 33rd and 34th Header - and the CSS coding is from
barubaron.
Thirty Sixth (and current) Header
Percy Hynes White. Both the header and the FOB are stills from his performance as Xavier Thorpe in Netfix's 'Wednesday.' I just think he's neat. And by neat, I mean really pretty and I love Xavier his character SO much. The CSS coding is from
street_of_mercy.
