  • Photoshop for Your Business

     

    When I started my business, it was a direct reaction to how much I loved creating things and how much fun Photoshop was (is) for me. I started out as a photographer on the side and as a means to support my family while I was finishing up my degree. I used Photoshop to edit photos but quickly learned it could do a heck of a lot more than that.

    So I started creating graphics and I was hooked. And then people started paying me to create things for them, and I was hooked even more. After being in the business for years now, and working with other businesses, there is an apparent need to help business owners create and use their own graphics.  We use graphics every day on social media. And websites. And there are ton of other uses for graphics in business every day.

    Hey! I wanted to go over a quick video on how to add text to a graphic in PicMonkey. Picmonkey.com is free, easy, and a great go-to graphics resource for all you business go-getters and/or graphics lovers. My first love is Photoshop but for those who aren’t ready to take the plunge on using Photoshop, Picmonkey is a great tool as well.

    Check the video out here and you will be a text overlayin’ pro in no time. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below or find me over on Facebook or Instagram.

  • Freebie: Meal Planner and Recipe Printable

    meal-planner-freebie

    Hi Friends! I hope your week is going well. Chances are you are a busy hip hoppin’ mom like me. This is not to imply that I rap – but I feel like I am hopping all over the place most days. Ok, I will confess that I have a thing called Gangsta Rap Tuesdays. Sometimes it falls on Wednesdays because I forget. On Gangsta Rap Tuesdays, I turn up the rap (I am a big baby and prefer the clean, edited versions if available) and jam out while working. Yesterday happened to be GRT (that’s what we call it around the office. Well, that’s what I call it because I work alone. Alllll alone).

    I have forgotten what my point is. Oh, I created this printable to keep track of what delectable food my children and I will be dining on during the week. It’s nothing fancy but serves its purpose. The second sheet is what I use when I find those great recipes on Pinterest and want a place to write them down. Now most of you ultra hip cool chicks out there probably use some digital form of recipes but I am old school and I am not ready to let go of my pen and paper.

    So, grab ’em up here if you are so inclined. 

    If you enjoyed this freebie, or post, or website, comment below. I love reading them and connecting with you. In addition you can find me on social media at http://www.instagram.com/pinklemonadecompany or http://www.facebook.com/pinklemonadecompany

    Basically I am just asking for some validation or for some friends. Did I mention I work ALLLL alone?
