Past Layouts 

I've made many layouts since I created *UMU*, but never thought to make screen shots of them until quite a lot of layouts later. Some I loved and some were awful! Well here are some of *UMU* layouts of the past....Badum!

DO NOT DIRECT LINK TO THESE IMAGES!!!

version: Stand By Me: Stand By Me is one of my favorite songs sung by my most favorite musician John Lennon The beautiful sweet image I used in the layout is from my BSSM Original - Artbook Volume 1 and I think it's simply beautiful and it really shows the love between Endymion and Serenity (Usagi and Mamoru). Scanned and altered by me, taken from the galleries, which can be found in Artbook Scans. I hope everyone likes the layout.

I made this layout using tables and divs. For the "Usagi and Mamoru's Universe" title I used a font named Menuetto size 36. The font used for - "Stand By Me" is Menuetto size 26. The font used for the Site Navigation is Arial, followed by Arial Narrow, and verdana; size 13, and main text throughout the site is arial, arial narrow, and verdana; using different shades of blue, with red.

version: Be Mine: my Valentine The beautiful and sexy image I used in the layout is from my BSSM Original - Artbook Volume 2 and is one of my top favorite images of Usagi and Mamoru. Scanned and altered by me, taken from the galleries, which can be found in Artbook Scans. I thought this image would be just right to use for celebrating Valentines . I really hope everyone likes the layout. Happy Valentines Day to all!

I made this layout using tables and divs. For the "Usagi and Mamoru's Universe" title I used a font named Romance Fatal Serif size 38 shadowed.

The font used for the Site Navigation is Menuetto size 13, and main text throughout the site is georgia, arial narrow, verdana; using different shades of red, pink purple and white.

version: Vows Sealed with a Kiss - 9 years of love:: The gorgeous image I used in the layout is from my BSSM Original - Artbook 5 and is one of my most favorite images of Usagi and Mamoru. Scanned and altered by me, taken from the galleries, which can be found in Artbook Scans. I feel this image is perfect to celebrate Usagi and Mamoru's Universe 9 year anniversary - (August 3, 2010), depicting the love I've put into this site over the years, to show my love for Usagi and Mamoru, watching the site grow from its conception. I hope everyone loves the layout as much as I do. Happy 9 Years UMU! ♥ ♥ ♥ - Usagi and Mamoru forever and always! ♥

The font used for the site navigation is Menuetto size 16, and main text throughout the site is "Georgia", followed by arial narrow, verdana, using different shades of purple, and blue.

version: Flowers Of Love: The image used in the layout is from my BSSM Original - Artbook 4, scanned, merged together, and altered by me. As much as I loved the last layout I became tired of it and with spring being here I wanted something different, light, and springy ^^;. This is what I came up with. I just realized I've never used this image in a layout before now. Hope everyone likes it.

I made this layout using tables, and divs - "Usagi and Mamoru's Universe" title is Brandyscript font size 46 changing Usagi and Mamoru's layer properties to hardlight, layering it to give it a 3D appearence. The font used for - "A Chiba Mamoru And Tsukino Usagi Fansite" is Chinacat size 14 changing the properties to overlay. The font used for the navigation, and main text throughout the site are Arial, Arial Narrow, and Verdana, using different shades of blue, purple and white.

version: * Star Crossed Lovers *: The image used in the layout is a very beautiful doujinshi of Usagi and Mamoru. On Valentines Day 2009 FallenAngelCeres, had made me (I removed the link to gift that FallenAngelCeres made me. Seems to be the main attraction from Google. Want to see it so bad go to my gifts page). I really loved the gift she made me, I thought, it was so pretty, and I just adored the doujinshi image of Usagi and Mamoru she used, which I had never seen before. I asked FallenAngelCeres for the image and she gave it me, which made me very happy ^_^, and her gift also inspired me to make this layout in celebration of UMU's 8 year anniversary begining August 3, 2009. (Thanks so much for all your inspiration, and support you've given me over the years Luff <3, I really appreciate it more than I could ever say).

I made this layout using tables, and divs - Usagi and Mamoru's Universe title is Amazone BT font size 48 changing Usagi and Mamoru's layer properties to lighten and Universe layer properties to luminance giving it a shadow . The font used for 8 years and counting above the title is 04b_03 size 6, and for - A Chiba Mamoru And Tsukino Usagi Fansite I used 04b24 size 6 as well. The font I'm using for the navigation, and main text throughout the site are Arial, Arial Narrow, and Verdana, using white and different shades of blue, and purple for the color. I also made the background pattern.

version: Expression of Love <3: The image used in the layout is a very beautiful drawing of Usagi and Mamoru drawn by the wonderful Sakana-chan, which I absolutely adore. I accidently stumbled upon Sakana-chan's website while surfing around the net. When I was looking through her drawings I came across her amazingly beautiful artwork of Usagi and Mamoru. I instanly fell in love with it, and really wanting to use it in UMU's 7 year anniversary layout, I e-mailed Sakana-chan, asking her if I could, and she said yes. I'm so happy and honored she said yes! Sakana-chan thank you again! <3

I made this layout using tables - Usagi and Mamoru's Universe title is BlackAddell font size 36. The font used for - A Chiba Mamoru And Tsukino Usagi Fansite is LadyIce-smallcaps size 18, and for- celebrating 7 years of usamamo love with the heart above the navigation I used GoldyRound font - size 6. I used LadyIce - size 16 for the navigation. The main text use throughout the site is Arial, Arial Narrow, using black and different shades purple, and pink for the color. I also made the background pattern.

I also wanted to add, that during one of our e-mail exchanges, I asked Sakana-chan if she could tell me more about the drawing, and if she could remember what her thoughts were while drawing it. She replied with: "I made the picture of Usagi and Mamoru a few years ago, and at that time the series was on tv again here in Germany, so I felt nostalgic, and wanted to draw a picture of Sailor Moon. I think that the love between Mamoru and Usagi is so strong and pure, its so essential for the story, and I wanted to show that on my picture, and so I got the idea.^^" She also told me, it wasn't easy for her to find the right words in English, to say what she wanted to say, and get her point across. I think she expressed her thoughts quite well, through her words, and her drawing. Don't you? ^_^


version: strawberry kiss <3: The image used in the layout for UMU's 6 year anniversary celebration, featured Mamoru and Usagi (Jyoji Shibue, and Sawai Miyuu) in a memory Usagi has of when Mamoru proposed to her giving her a beautiful engagement ring (in the Special Act) from the Live Action (PGSM). The image used in the layout was taken from Three-Lights.net, other images I used like in the guestbook were screen capped by me. Using Div layers and not i-frames (YAY I'm so sick of i-frames!) The colors used for the text and through out the layout are different shades of pink, chocolate, black, and a splash of green here, and there. The font I used for Usagi and Mamoru's Universe title is: Chopin Script and the text used through out is "Arial Narrow", Arial. I worked really hard on it, and everyone seemed to really like it!

version: Precious Destiny: This art book image of Mamoru and Usagi is so beautiful I thought it would be perfect to use to commemorate UMU's 5th birthday especially since UMU's birthday is the same day as Mamo-chan's birthday!! ^.^ The image was taken from UMU's colored manga gallery, though I did originally find the image at: Manga Style!. The layout image was saved in JPEG format altering the image quit a bit (Making Usagi's dress longer, added more flowers changed the background a bit and more) I used Paint Shop Pro 7 to edit the image. Font used - Wedding Script was used for Usagi and Mamoru's Universe and Precious Destiny, Georgia was used for the navigation menu and the main text through out the site and hooge_05_54 was used for celebrating 5 years beneath Precious Destiny. Using I-Frames with transparent scroll bars which you could see only if your browser is IE5+.

version: Dancing in the Moonlight: (Splash & Main layout) I have always loved this image - It's from the Sailor Moon Original Art book # 1. The image used for the layout I found at Serenitatis <3 and heavily altered by me. The layout image was saved in PNG format which I don't normally do because I've come across a few sites layouts that were in PNG format and they took a year and a life to load. But I found that PNG format made the image look better in my opinion. I mainly used Paint Shop Pro 7 to edit the image. Font used - Marking Pen UMU-text - - Version Dancing in the Moonlight - 04b24 and for the navigation I used 04b_11 using a mouseover text affect. Using I-Frames with transparent scroll bars which you can only see if your browser is IE5+- and divs. I was inspired to make this layout in celebration of UMU's 4th birthday August 3rd and because of the cuteness of the image that also reminds of the song "Dancing in the Moonlight". I also used BrowserCam to make sure everything looked ok in many different browsers besides IE5+. I also want to thank my dear friend Bunnybeth for taking the time to check and making sure the layout looked good on her computer and browser Firefox while I was working on it and was also nice enough to make a screen cap (screen shot) see here along with some helpful advice.
