Today I want to share something really fabulous that you can create for your Facebook account. Now perhaps you are not a Facebook user, stick with me anyways! You could apply this idea in another way. Remember the other day when I told you that the "This Makes Me Happy Pocket Cards" was my favorite new digital download? Yesterday I simply had to download it and get started creating with it -- I couldn't wait until my first order from the new catty this Friday!
I've found that lots of people struggle with finding an image that is the right size for their Facebook cover photo. Create your own image instead! I do like to change the image on my personal page every couple of months. And, sometimes, rather than loading in a photo, I put in a graphic image that I've created using MDS. Just loaded the image below last night:
The design itself was inpired by the current Pixel Maven's DigiChallenge and I decided to follow design team member Nicole Watt's lead and update my Facebook cover. I've used MDS to do this in the past. I've also been known to share MDS created digital images conveying birthday wishes to individuals who are not receiving an actual card from me...so easy to make with MDS and post on someone's wall!
Here is the sketch for the challenge:
Good to Know - Stampgoodness Tips:
- Not sure what size image you need for Facebook or another social media account? I wanted to double check the size and came across this great online resource - it is the "Cliff Notes" version with the sizes you need for the major social media sites. Be sure to bookmark a resource like this for easy reference in the future!
- Get your MDS elements perfectly lined up with another by using the "align" feature.
- Decrease the opacity on card stock and designer series paper to get a lighter hue of your favorite Stampin' Up! colors and patterns.
