i love love love the taylor swift one! the only thing i would say is the text. like a lot of people will stick it off to the side where its not noticeable but sometimes the text can make or break your graphics. when its needed make it big. other times you can make it small and more subtle.
also, look at some tutorials. take what you can from it and then expand upon it and make it more you.
you can experiment with more coloring styles.
sometimes making things more simple is better. as they say, less is more.
textures can add a different feeling to some things.
also, if pics look blurry you can always sharpen just a tad.
it'll just take time, but with graphics you have to figure out what looks good and what looks bad and do things even if you don't think they'll look good. just like experiment.
im trying to give you lots of things to think about here so i hope this helps.
what program do you have? if you have the same thing as me i could probably be much more specific.

Okay, I'm going to critique your work quite a bit in this post, but please don't be offended. I went through a lot, too, when I started making graphics. It's an adventure, but it's worth it ;)

Okay, first, you need to get MQ or HQ pics [preferably HQ (High Quality)].
Next, try to use different fonts and different styles and colorings in your blends. Don't just use the same thing ALL the time; it gets boring and people get uninterested.
Okay, and then, your blends look kind of LQ [low-quality, referring to the first thing I said], so I assume you're saving your graphics as a .jpg file. Saving your files a .png [depending on what program you use, it's possible/not possible]. It saves the quality of your graphics, and looks way better.

Okay, that's basically everything! Like I said, I'm not trying to offend you, I'm just trying to help. I hope you improve and you... improve! =P

Other than those things, your graphics are pretty good. <3

those are gorgous! but i would try out some more colouring. the colouring looks sort of plain on the blends, and the pics arent very high quality, so i would try and get more higher quality pics. also the text dosent look so good in some of them. try different styles of fonts like borders, drop shadows, just to make it stand out more of look at little bit more interesting. and you could change the sizes as well. and some of them look quite plain, which could easily look a bit better if you added some textures and brushes, if you want some good textures then go to www.swimchick.net, they have some really awsome textures there, thats where I get mine from :] but good luck with your graphics, and i hope that some of my suckish advice is helpful =P

I Really Enjoy Your Graphics Now :) They're Cute. So Don't Try To Rush Your
Abilities, Otherwise You Might Get Angry About Something, And Then Quit.
Let Them Come Naturally, Believe Me, It's Best To Try And Wait ;)

Try Some Textures In Your Graphcis. These Will ( Usually ) Add A Little Extra Something.

And, Like Others Have Said, Try Experimenting. Both On Your Styles & Colorings.
It Helps You To Learn What Things Look Good, And What Things Don't.
Plus, It's Just A Lot Of Fun Doing Things You Wouldn't Normally Do!
Go Outside Your Comfort Zone!

i agreee. & to add on:
- you might want to try coloring. depending on the program, you have alot
of coloring options. & you don't have to have selective coloring to make awesome coloring.
- sharpen your images.
- try using different styles & all.
& get creative.
i hope this helps!
