Layout

It’s simple, pleasant to look at, but not necessarily boring. As a matter of fact I quite like the various shapes in the header image. Overall, it gives me a pretty short lasting impression. I think it’s the color choice mainly, which makes everything look faded, as if you had washed the layout too many times. Your previous layout, with the pink flowers was a better choice, as the white and pink made enough contrast to make some sort of lasting impression on me. My memory is primarily a visual one, so when I think of a site, I have a layout in mind, which left some impression on me.

Layout

A Christmas layout, nice: I can never manage to make one to in time. If I do, it ends up staying till July. Some of the colors you used are too light. Like the light gray writing at the bottom. It’s fine as background, it creates a really subtle transition, but as text color it’s almost impossible to read. The graphic itself, looks really cute and fetching at a superfluous glance. Nevertheless, once I looked more attentively, I noticed that it’s of rather poor quality.

The snowman and the birds are very nice as far as art goes. Did you make them yourself? Most unfortunately the birds have terribly jagged edges. I’m not sure if you were just rushing, or just over optimized the pictures. Be as it may, the layout looks cute from a superficial view, but rather sloppy when I actually stop to look at individual details.
