After a couple of requests, I decided to do a “how to” for five on friday! Five on Fridays really originated out of my laziness to do a Ten on Tuesday and my ongoing need to not go with the flow:) Then I got to thinking that I wanted it to have some more jazz too…which is where the pictures and theme weeks came into play. So, without further ado, the 5 “how to’s” of five on friday!
1. Here is a template for the picture I use. It is a psd file with layers so you can change the background and text and then add your pictures in.
2. What to write? I write mine on whims, what is going on, what I’m thinking about that week, the time of year. You can get some ideas by looking my past posts at the category of five on friday on here. Ideas only please, don’t copy my five exactly…no one wants a used five:)
3. What pictures to use? I usually just google search for what I’m looking for and find a picture that is legal to use. Clip art works well too depending on what your theme is. Sometimes I use my pictures, again depending on what I’m talking about.
4. I could email out a theme per week/month if you guys were interested. Are you? Email me at shann@shannonkelleyphotography.com and I can put you on the list.
5. Let’s make this about some community and share with each other! I’ll put a little box, like the one below, on the five on friday posts so you can put up your five on friday when you do it! Oh, and don’t forget to link back over here to share all the fives!
