Blog layout help

I've been thinking for a while now that I don't really like the header of my blog anymore.  I mean, I love that picture of hubs and I, but, I feel like it's just so boring....the title, the font, the colors.  BOR-ING.

So, I was wondering if all you lovely veteran bloggers would be able to help me out here.  :)  I do like the layout that I have, and I would love to have a header that kind of matches it, but....where the heck do I get that??  Is it something I can make myself, or have someone else make for me?  Unfortunately, I don't have photoshop or any fancy photo editing program like that, so I don't know if making one myself would be the best idea.  I just want something that's fun and kind of bubbly (if that description even makes sense.  lol), where I can have maybe 2 or 3 pictures in the header, with a quote or something thrown in there, too. 

Here a few examples of blog headers that I'm loving right now....

Now, I'm sure with a lot of these, you have to buy the whole layout and everything....but, if the price is right, maybe I'll just do that.  ;)  I'm loving blogging SO much lately, so I'd love to make my blog more me and more of my own. 

Soooo, any suggestions or help you ladies could give would be awesome!  Or, if you could just point me in the right direction, that would be a start. 

Thanks so much!  I hope all you ladies have a great day!  xoxo

Cutestlayoutonetheblock.com has headers that actually go with most of their layouts -- you just have to add in the pictures!

The ones that you linked to look like they're done with scrapbook kits, some of them you can download for free, but have to make yourself, and then some, people will make for you (usually you have to pay for those).

Here's where you can download some free kits!

Hope that helps

How sweet of you to pick mine as one you like.
I actually had a fellow blogger create the template and header for my blog. She gave it a blogover. Her name is Kelly. She charges money to do it but not much, I think about $30.00. She is really talented though. She just recently told me she would update my header pics if I wanted her to some newer pics. Do you think I should do it?

I wish I could tell you how to do a header like mine but I have no idea how she did it. Her blog is http://www.oxboroughchaos.com/ In case you want to go talk to her or check her out.
Good luck.

Oh and by the way, I love that picture of you two on your header. Its so pretty and magazine like =)
