If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have noticed that one of my favourite things to pin are motivational quotes and cute backgrounds. Most of the time, I am doing this when I am thinking or need to concentrate, I often find that putting that excel spreadsheet to one side and switching my brain off for half an hour here and there quite therapeutic.
I tend to pin quotes and thoughts that capture my attention or make me think, are attached to a memory of remind me of someone and my quote board on Pinterest is one of my most popular boards and one which brings me the most traffic back to my blog. I have shared previous posts on my love of Pinterest here and here. As well as pinning other people's pins, I also make my own. Whilst I might not be the most artistic person, I am thankful I have one or two apps at my disposal and I use a variety of different sites to make my graphics for Pinterest.
Sometimes I stick with using Picmonkey, other times I use Creative Market and sometimes I use Canva. I like the freedom of being able to pick and choose how I want my pins to look and the options that come with each site. If I am sharing a blog post then I use my own photos and just sometimes I use a royalty-free image from sites like Unsplash to help create the look I am wanting.
