Really useful ideas! Thanks!
Love it, it looks so put together when the same picture is used. I m trying to figure out how to do this with my blog post. Any tips?
Of course! Great question! For blog posts, keep images the same size (or at least the same width). This creates a justified look to your blog posts and keeps images in line with eachother. Some other tips would be to use images that are in the same family of colors or color scheme. If you haven’t already done so, I would develop your blogs color scheme and try to keep blog post images in that range. This should help keep it consistent looking.
This is good. I will be saving it for future use. Thank you so much for sharing this useful piece of information
great ideas..I love using them and writing text over them for instagram and blog posts
AWESOME!!! Stumbled and Pinning!
Wow! Bookmarking this and pinning it!

I love it! Just the kind of beginner’s tutorial that I love sharing with my followers! Thanks for sharing and creating a post that will speak to the newbies out there 😀
Never would have thought of some of these!! Thanks for sharing
These are great ideas! I am in the process of trying to figure out how to improve the aesthetic of my instagram account, and I think creating my own instagram posts using Canva using your stock images will help.
