Creations, Design with PicMonkey, its a Hoot!
Super Boy and Big E were very excited about their first day of school last week so I quickly created these good luck signs for them in PicMonkey, using a variety of overlays and fonts
I have discovered that designing creations using PicMonkey is a great way to not only make cute printables, but to plan out painting projects as well
I want to paint something OWL for fall, so I played around with PicMonkey to see what I could come up with
within minutes, I had a cute little owl model created with different colors and overlays
Here’s the best part, you can try the design in different colors with just a few clicks!
Magic!! 🎩
I designed the Sun Sand Salt sign with PicMonkey
I want to make a new sign for the fall, here’s a mock up of what I’m thinking about
The black area is going to be painted with chalkboard paint so I can change the message
Do you like the moon and the black cat?
I guess it’s time to stop dallying and pick up a paint brush!
Or maybe a witch’s broom!
Are you getting excited about all things Fall?
Juicy Details
here’s how I made the owl:
open PicMonkey and select design, then pick your canvas size
choose canvas color, then click apply
next go to overlays, click on geometric and select a shape
I started with circles to make the eyes, then added ovals for the body, triangles for ears, polygons for the feet and crown. Remember the main shape will be color 2 and you can change the outline from transparent to a color by clicking on color 1. Use the rotate icon to move your shape to another angle
Last I used the Dashed & Lined overlay to create the wavy lines for the breast feathers

Loved the owl design, Jenna!
Oh so cute and a HOOT Jenna! I’m noticing owls everywhere these days and treated myself to an owl cake pedestal for some retail therapy recently. I miss the grade school years of my nephews, they’re in college now, all grown up *sniff*… You know I love your painted broom! )
I can’t wait to see the cake pedestal!!
I’ll have to check out pic monkey. Have never tried. So so cute ! I love the moon and black cat added to your new sign btw. 😉
You can use a lot of PicMonkey for free Jodi, and they offer a free trial month of their royal version…it might be helpful for your card designs…
I like your Halloween mock-up, the cat is cute! I just got back from Dollar Tree, they had faux mercury glass skulls-really cool looking. Happy Sunday:@)
I only know how to do the basics on Picmonkey, but I love using it. I guess I should spend some time practicing. Love your back-to-school signs!
How cute is that? Love your sweet owl. Anyone would love how sweet it is. Love your halloween look with the catm pumpkins and moon. Thanks as always Jenna for sharing your creativity at DI&DI.
