Using Canva for Passive Income Journey

After dabbling with Canva and Adobe Express designing for a while, I have finally taken a deeper plunge into the Canva realm. Both platforms are extremely similar with only a few exceptions. I need more designing options, and Canva seems to be the most popular, so that's the one I have decided to pay for. And so far, I have only used it to create coloring book pages. But it can be used for so much more! So, I'm looking forward to finding out all the cool secrets to creating not only coloring books for adults and kids but also eBook covers, printable art, and t-shirt designs. Below is my first design, which I'm offering as a free download.

Happy Valentines Day Coloring Book Thumbnails from my Digital Potpourri Creations

As I mentioned in my previous post, passive income comes in many forms, so I do plan to share information as I go along. My information will come either in a post such as this one or via YouTube videos. I will post links to videos that I create for both Simply Making Life content and Digital Potpourri videos. I enjoy teaching others what I learn, so I hope to be able to create those as quickly as possible in between the designing, writing, marketing, and other work involved in passive income and life itself. I would really appreciate your prayers as I start this journey. I have many ideas and, it seems, very little time. So, thank you in advance for the prayers.

Have a blessed day,

Patricia

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...
