Wacky for Facebook Banners-Challenge!!

March 7th, 2012

Hi, Shanna here with your Wacky for Wednesday blog post. This month we’ll feature games, challenges, and such to help with inspiration you may need to get you going on your scrapping adventures. This week I wanted to feature a challenge one of our bloggers, Dawn, posted on her personal blog last week about making Facebook timeline banners in the MyMemories software.

“ I wanted to share how to create one using my memories software. When you first open your My Memories Software you will select “design your own” for album. Then select the landscape option, and change the size to 850 pixels by 315 pixels. It will look like this.

Once you have selected the size, you can then place in the background papers, elements and photos just as you would with any normal layout. “

If you don’t own MyMemories, you can purchase at their website by clicking the icon on the right side of our blog and be sure to use the $10 off coupon code posted here on our blog to get your discount and your free RAKstar membership through March 31st.

Now if you like to use Photoshop or another program, creating a Facebook timeline banner would be very similar to what Dawn described here in her blog. You would just want to open up your program and be sure to choose the 850 pixels by 315 pixel dimensions to start your banner layout. Or if you’d rather work with a template that has been created in PSD file format here is a good one on DeviantArt that I found.

So for this week’s challenge I challenge all of you to go and design yourself a new facebook timeline banner to reflect your style as an artist and then link back here with your profile page link so we can see your work.

Here is my latest Facebook Banner, I made using Sugar Moon’s Lillypads and Lightning Bugs and
Missy’s Bits Mint Plum & Garden Whimsy for the name graphic seen on the banner
