A tough question.......I opened them all and I am stuck on the first one. The one that you have on the blog now. You have done a wonderful job on all of them.

Nancy said...

They are all great looking. I think that my favourite is the 2nd one though.

Anonymous said...

And my favourite is A - love it!

Anonymous said...

I have to say they're all great. If I had to pick one it would be B - so bright and reminds me of stamping. I'm new to your blog. Good Luck!!! Dottie

I love D. It does not match the current background colour. So if you choose D it would be better to make the background some shade of blue.

Anonymous said...

i love your 2nd one it also reminds me of stamping ,Spring it's just so bright and stands out.Good luck to u!!!

debbie likes A & B - but if I must pick 1 - it's B!

Cindy @ Creating at Home said...

Personally I prefer the last one, but they are all beautiful! You've done an amazing job with them!

alison said...

There all so beautiful. If I had to pick one it would be B. I love the colors and how bright it is.

Carin said...

My favorite is D, but it was a difficult choice! I love E very much too!

Allison Rankin said...

Couldn't you switch it up from time to time (e.g. seasonally)? I love 'em all but I think A or E would be my choices (see I couldn't even pick one!).

Anonymous said...

I like them all but I think E is my favorite!

Jackie said...

Wow, these really are lovely! I think out of all of them I would choose choice D, but they really are all wonderful!

Anonymous said...

Pick B and pick ME! Ha!

Inky Dreamz said...

I have to choose B because you can read it very easy. The others are very nice but a little too busy and you don't want it to take away from the rest of your blog, YKWIM? I also have to say that I really like the olivish background color with B as well. HTH. (Great job with all of them!)

Anonymous said...

I like them all, but I think B and E are my Fav!!!!
You did an excellent job. I only wish I were half that good! Good luck picking. I can not wait to see what you choose.

Melissa said...

A difficult choice because they all look great! My vote, would be for A or B. I guess ultimately, I would pick B. Just like the fun colors you picked there. I love your cards too! Thanks for the inspirations!

doverdi said...

They all look great to me but the one that really pops for me is D. You've got a tough decision ahead of you chosing between them all. lol

Pearlann66 said...

They are all lovely!
But i am drawn to choice C.

thanks for asking

Tracy.H said...

I just found your blog...Wow! Love your stuff...I will be back.

These are all great, but I think my favorite is the last one. :0)

Anonymous said...

I pick choice E! It's elegant and current and the design doesn't interrupt the blog title. I really like it!

Anonymous said...

Well they are all awesome but if I had to choose one; my favorite would be E. It's not too busy and displays the text nicely.

Sara

Cat said...

love, Love, LOVE, the second one; B. It's artsy, but still fun!

Great candy by the way.

mays331 said...

I like E the best. It "looks" so stampin up!!!!

L8ybug2 said...

They are all great. I like the one you're using now with C being a close second.
~~Rita~~

Adelina said...

That's a tough decision because I like a couple of them. If I had to choose I'd say D - I love the blue and brown together and the flourishes.

Melissa Norris said...

I really like B because I'm a bright colors kind of girl. But I think they are all beautiful.

Kelly said...

fav is D.

dawnmercedes said...

I like C and E...can I have 2 favorites?

Jackie said...

That is a difficult choice - they are all so pretty! My choice is the one you have up there now - A. It incorporates the green in the background but also give you other choices for accent colors or to change the background color as well.

Wonderful blog candy - and I do enjoy your blog a lot!

Kim said...

They're all fantastic but my favorite is A!

Pat said...

Wow...They are all really unique. I am choosing A as my favorite. You have as much talent designing blog banners as you do your cards. Thanks for posting often with you wonderful card ideas.

Pat

Anonymous said...

I've got to vote for A. While all of them are gorgeous, A has the right mix of contrast and coordination to compliment the rest of the blog, if that makes any sense.

Rose Ann said...

All of them are really nice (you do great work!) My favorite is B, and second choice would be D.

Anonymous said...

Beautiful banners! I like E the best.

Unknown said...

My favorite is B, but E is pretty also.

I love your blog!

Anonymous said...

Well, I really love C, A, and E in that order. Guess my first choice would be A. I find banners the size of C are not pleasing to work with, too big.

Yosha said...

Hmm...that's toughy...after staring at them for a while, I like A and C. Really couldn't decide between the two!

YM

Shannon Tompkins said...

I personally like E and then A however, they all are great in their own way.

Pegg S said...

I vote for "A" -- I love the dark warm brown. However, I do like the font of B the best. Great blog candy --- all are really pretty I don't think you can go wrong with any of them!!

Unknown said...

They are all so wonderful but I think that I like c the best.

Tracy said...

I am a huge fan of "b" mostly because I think it reflects the style of your stamping. The colour combination is great and the font title is light and fun!

Thanks
Tracy

Renée said...

I really liked "E". You've had it up on your blog for the last while and I really thought it was unique!

Anonymous said...

I love B & E,,, then there is A and C,,, lol,,, But B is first,,,

Leah said...

how beautiful! I really like them all! I would say D is probably my favorite - great for all seasons too! TFS

Stamp4hobby said...

That is so tough... I like C the best though...

StampingontheLakefront said...

My favorite is B - I like the colors, I like the size of the banner and the font - It's is really eye catching (pops!) like all of your cards!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

i'm partial to green, so that's my choice!! they're all nice though!

Leslie D. Moore said...

Great job on all of them.
I think banner E is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing.

i am no use, i like them all, is it too hard to save them all and change them every 3 months? LOL sorry, i am no help, i love them all!

Kathy McD said...

Hands down...D....my fav color combo...teal and choc chip! Of course, they all are gorgeous, so any one of them will be great!

Anonymous said...

All are nice but I think I like A best. It is different than most I have seen.

Monica said...

Wow...tough choice. I think they're all great! I agree with Allison in that I think you should use them all and rotate them. If I had to pick one, though, I pick A!

Your blog banners are wonderful! It's so hard to pick one, but if I have to, I'd say C is my favorite, with A running a close second!
Thanks for sharing your art with us!

Mrs. Kremser said...

LOL - I loved visiting your blog just to see what wonderful banner you would be using that day! My favorite is D.

kelly said...

I am going to have to vote for b or c.

Susan said...

Easy....E But I hav eto say that C came in at a close 2nd. Still voting for E but I'll be back at your blog no matter which heading you select.

Bonnie Weiss said...

Love the richness of banner A.

Anonymous said...

I like c, although they are all so cool. Liann M.

Anonymous said...

I like them all. The one I like best is B because your words stamp out and it is easy to read. It seems to fit the style of your stamping.

Crystal said...

I like the last 2 the best....but if you pick the last one, I like how all the others say "ink stamp create", I'd add that to the last one if that is your choice. BTW your candy is incredible!

Anonymous said...

Hello Ana,
I love them all, but I think D is the one. It flows so beautifully and the color is rich.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to you too!

So hard to choose just one but I like D.

Jan said...

Wow! Tough choice. I think I'd have to go with C - it is the most distinctive of them all. Great blog and great blog candy. Have a great day

Nancy said...

I love Green. So B and C stand out to me, with B being alittle bit more lively. Thanks for asking,

I like them all but if I had to choose I guess I'd go with "D" but "a" is a close second, love the colors!

I really like them all as well. I like C & D best. I agree with someone else that said maybe switch with the season (not sure how hard that would be code-wise though)! Very nice job on all of them!!

~Lana B.~ said...

All are great...could ya switch them out every week or so? JK
If I had to pick just one it would be "D"
But don't forget...what REALLY makes your blog great isn't the banner...it's what's inside!!! I totally love your blog so keep up the great work!!

I like B. I like the colours, nice and spring like.

Anonymous said...

I love A. - wonderful color & the flowers just seem to pop! (also like D, but not as much as A)

Linda Nicholson said...

My favorite is B (probably because of the bright Spring colors). You've done a wonderful job on all of them. I can't even imagine the work involved with creating a banner like these.

Linda

I like all of them but if I had to pick one it would probably be A.

Hello Ana, I love all the banners for different reasons but if I have to pick one, I would say my favorite one is D. I love paisley and the brown/blue color combo. Have a great weekend!

I would have to go with B as I love color. You do amazing cards in sooo much color I feel your banner needs tons of color!

I like B. Easy to read! Great job!

Theresa said...

Firsst of all...I like them all. You have done a great job on all of them. BUT...if I had to choose only one...I would choose B! It looks like something I would stamp for myself. Also, I love the smaller cursive font. Really cute. Definitely -- I like B!

Anonymous said...

i love B
its happy , bright and very inviting.

Anonymous said...

Ana,

I'm thinking D, although they are all nice, there's just something about that blue and brown.

Anonymous said...

All of them are great, but my favorite one is C. So pretty!

Anonymous said...

E-so very classy!

jadell said...

I think the first one (A) is most like your style. :) Great blog!

Julie said...

Oh my, this is tough. I think you should save them all and change them out seasonally. That way they all get the attention they deserve. But you would still have to choose one for right now. B looks springy to me, But I LOVE D! ... Ok I am no help!

Judie P. said...

I love "B". It's really very lovely!

Heather S. said...

I absolutely LOVED "B" It is so bright and pretty. "A" was in a close second though. Did you do all these yourself? Amazing work!

Stampin_Melissa said...

Wow, all are so nice! I did rank them to how I liked them. Here goes:

Easy for me because "D" is my current favorite color combination. In fact I'm redoing my living room with aqua and cocoa:) Great Blog! Linda SS

My first choice is B, but then I liked A too. Good luck with choosing, they are all great!

Unknown said...

I'd say option "E" is the best. They are all beautiful, but I like the style and the fact that your title is very clear on option "E".

Natasha said...

I like C because it is unlike other banners I have seen. I like D and E, however I find E too big, and D is like some others I've seen. The greens, the mix of circles and lines just pop out to me.

loislane said...

I like A. But they are all nice! A is just a little more colorful.

Anonymous said...

It's a toss up between B & C, but I choose B. Love the retro look of it and the name stands out, but with a softer look.

Melissa said...

I love A!

Anonymous said...

I like the last one D. They are all very pretty.

Anonymous said...

Ana1 They are all wonderful! I am choosing C as first option but if it's notto much trouble I'd consider changing , rotating weekly or monthly even. I love your work and your Blog give away goodies are awesome as always. I already subscribe to your feeds. One of the first things I do in the morning is check for new work from ou. :}

Hi Ana -
When I opened the blog I thought to myself that I really liked the banner that you have up now, BUT . . . after seeing the others, I would have to go with the second one from the top. It is so springy!!

They all looks very nice ,but for me its A

I really love B and I think it goes beautifully with the background color of your blog.

The banners are all very nice but I just love the color used in D. Great job!

My vote is for A! The colors are eye catching! I think the other 3 are nice, but have too much white in thebackground.

Anonymous said...

Oh my! I see why you are having a difficult time making a decision...they are all fantastic! I would vote for 'C' because I love that the flowers come in from an unusual angle, and in my opinion, it makes you 'take notice'..and it is crisp and clean looking...very professional looking in appearance. Gosh, it will be exciting to see which one you choose.

Anonymous said...

First of all, I love your blog!!! and your cards. They give me inspiration to create....so lets get to the question. It's a toss up between D or A. I am partial to D as I like the colour combination of blue and brown. It's time for a change of color. It's spring!!!

Anonymous said...

I like E which I think is your ?original one? I would just add some color to it - like maybe pink and dark brown instead of only the shades of brown. I will tell you - I don't think that you can go wrong with any of them

AnneMarie said...

I think B for now... it reminds me of Spring!!!

each one has a different feel for a different season..

my 6 yo likes the blue and tan- that reminds me of summer.. and the beach!

Unknown said...

I love D - love teeh blue and brown!! So pretty and fresh!

Catherine said...

It's between B and D, i've been checking out your blog and was really dissapointed when you change your bannerm anyway, really tough choice but i think i'll go for the B...mmhhppp, D, B, definitely B :) Goodluck!

Personally I really like A and C ......If I had to pick it would be C.........LOve the colors.Thanks for sharing!!!!!

I really like D, but even more so I have to vote for E. It's just too pretty not to use.

I like A the best.
