The depends on what kind of layout you want. Do you have an example? And if you want to make your own graphics, what kind of graphics program do you have.

i use Adobe Photoshop to make mine and they have come out quite well. You have to play around a little but in the end it comes out great. Here is a screen shot of one of my layouts.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/benshtmlhelp/layout.jpg
That is my new layout i made a couple of days ago.

If you're using Windows, you should already have Paint. Paint is pretty limited though, but it can still make a layout.

But because you want "glittery" stuff or whatever, here's other programs:
The GIMP (http://gimp.org)
Adobe Photoshop CS2 (http://adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=39)
Corel Paint Shop Pro 9 (http://corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Trials/Login&pid=1047023911984&cid=1047024437292&lang=en)

Oh right ok. go to http://www.serif.com
You can download a free version of Serif Photoplu which i make my layouts from. It is very easy to use and make layouts.

Personally i would recommend Serif Photoplus because it is easy to use. I made my first ever layout from it within and hour. There are also tutorials on the serif website to help you if you get stuck.

I agree with benlikestennis. I use PhotoPlus too and it's very good. Although, I don't use it to make layouts...I like code more than images :p After you design the layout on PhotoPlus you will need to code it. Just look at the tutorials here, they should help. Or you could get someone to code it for you.

To code it do the following.
1)Save it as a .jpg
2)upload it to a server
3)open up the image in your webrowser and then click edit
4)this will open up notepad or something with the code
5)You just need to then write in your code.

To be able to save your image as a .jpg go to file export optimiser and then select it from the drop down menu and then click export.
Hope this helps.
