Link Love: New Week, New Header!

I got a wild hair last week to make a new header for Link Love. I was feeling all cut paper-y so I got out my watercolors and my craft knife and I went to town. Initially I scanned the header in and cleaned it all up in Adobe Photoshop so it looked like a little banner but at the last minute, I saw the cut letters laying on top of my scanner with the light catching them and decided I liked them way better just photographed than all Photoshopped. So… new header! I hope you like it.
