I use Photoshop...but any program where you can add things to a photo would work. I have heard that Gimp is a bit like Photoshop (except it's free), but I haven't used it. You could try it--http://www.gimp.org/ . Digital scrapbooking programs would work, or maybe even Paintshop or something... Feel free to email me (see the sidebar) if you'd like more detail on how to create your own background, and that might help you decide what kind of a program you need (or if you already have something that would work).

Instructions
BACKGROUNDS Set your Blogger template to Minima (click HERE to see how). Then go to "Design," "Layout," "Edit HTML." Scroll down until you see the following: body { background:$bgcolor;
Immediately after the semicolon, add the code for your desired background.
That's it! Be sure to use the preview button to make sure you like your choice before saving your changes! :0)
HEADERS Copy the image code from your desired header. Go to "Customize" and click on the "Edit" button on your header. Paste your code where it says "From the web." Where it says "Placement," choose "Behind title and description." You do notneed to "shrink to fit." (3-column blogs may need to shrink; widths may vary.) Save, and you're done!
With some headers, you may notice a gap between the top border and your header image. Click HERE to find out how to solve the problem, or if you're having other header trouble!
