This is original but it makes reading difficult. The scribbled text at the lower-right blocks a portion of the post. If possible, find a more realistic handwritten font. Good effort.

Another neat one of yours with stylishness. I think the spacing above is too big though, work on it.

This is neatness with style.

It looks like a mix of standard blogskin and navigational skin, but the transparency effect is interesting. Keep it up.

Other than the image, other aspects are pretty plain. Work on the coding.

The hover-over colors for links is hard to read. The content of the whole blog is not distinct, as it makes reading difficult when there is no borders or dividers. Can be greatly improved if you focused a little more on codings.

Ample spacing between design and text. not a bad combination of colors. too compact and too much empty space. good luck for the competition.

the second of sch skin i have seen today. adding the javascript from a site is superfluous. your codings are messed up which makes the text very big.

was the title taken from michelle branch's song? the distant margin between the top of the page and the image should not be there. try adding some outlines to the text area to make it neater. color combination is good, baby pink and blue. and i am happy that you stated "what i did was add colours and brushes and fonts that's all". surely it beats skins who say they put in a lot of hardwork when it is just that much.

if you drew this image, definitely i would have given you another rating up. but the coding is just messy and text are out of place.
