How many of you have wanted to create a beautiful eBook for your customers . . . Just can't figure out how? As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have the latest generation of a chromebook, so I don't have awesome programs like paint.net

Step 1: Add text and type your title.
Unfortunately, I cannot screenshot in the editor of Picmonkey, so I'll just TELL you what to do. Click here for a text tutorial.
Step 2: Add overlays
To add overlays, simply click on the butterfly icon in the menu. If your canvas is white (You can change the canvas color under the magic wand icon), it goes with most overlays. All of Picmonkey's overlays are compatible with any color, but if you would like to add your own overlays, I would suggest going with white. Anyway, to add your own overlays, search on the web for anything.png If you would like an overlay that is compatible with any backround color, search for one word and then "transparent". This looks for images that are placed on a transparent canvas. To check for this, select the image. If you see a white and gray (or grey?) canvas behind the image, it's transparent. For example, here is an edit I made very recently.

This was made completely by Picmonkey, and "bookwormelephant" is my username for almost everything, so if I ever shared it on the web like I am right now, it would most likely be by bookwormelephant (me!). Oh, and if you don't believe me (which I understand), I can both help you make something similiar and show you how I made it.
First, I downloaded these free watercolors off the web.

Next, I found a transparent mockingjay (because, as you might be able to see, it's a hunger games edit)
Here, it may not look transparent, but it is, trust me. Those are the resources I used along with Picmonkey. I can't spend this whole post on how to make hunger game edits, but if you would like to know more, please comment.
