Featured Cute Bloggers!

It's time again to feature bloggers who are using some of our newest free designs to make their blogs stand out from the crowd!

We love to see people who are still passionate about blogging even with the onset of so many social networks! It just goes to show that blogging is special. Where else can you journal with text and photos like you can on a blog? And with our fabulous blog book printing services, you can have a tangible copy of your blog in your home!!

But I digress...

Our first featured blog is the Miller's:

She used pieces of the Orange You Glad collection to deck out her blog. I love how she carefully added a photo of she and her hubby in the banner. Then she tastefully added her last name in text on the side. Her blog highlights her newlywed adventures. Nice job!!!

Our second featured blog is Alix's: 

Alix is ready for summer and donning the Summer Bliss Collection here. A photo, some heart clip art, and text makes her banner stand out from the rest! She blogs about her fun young life and her passion for her religion. Love it!!

Finally we have Dolphina:

Here, she uses the Chillin' at the Beach banner to add a warm summer beach feel to her blog. She has chosen the minimalist approach by going without the matching background and we love it! You're design style should always reflect on your blog! We thought the font she used to customize her banner was adorable and perfect for the beach theme. She is a scrapbook crafter so you have to check out her blog for some inspiration if you're crafting. Thanks Dolphina!

Thanks to all of our bloggers for using our free designs. We love what we do and we hope that reflects in the images you find on our site!

Have a great week!!

Trim your Tumblr! How to add a background and banner to your Tumblr blog

We've recently discovered TUMBLR.COM! I know, a little slow right! For those of you who haven't discovered it yet, Tumblr is a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, videos, links, quotes and audio to their tumblelog, a short-form blog. Users can follow other users, or choose to make their tumblelog private.

Cool huh!!

Well of course, our goal (like in everything we do) was to find a way to make it cute! Come to find out, it's easy as pie!

Here's a tutorial:

1. Sign in to your Tumblr acount.

2. Click Customize

3. You'll see a screen pulls up with lots of different options for customization. We want the background and banner options.

4. You can go to our site and download a Twitter image or Banner image to your desktop and upload them to your account. They will pop up after a few seconds and now you have a cute new tumblr page!


As always, post in the comments below if you have any questions or suggestions. :)
