How to watermark your photos using PicMonkey!

Hi! I'm Shannon and I blog at

Rebecca is off having a fabulous time in Spain 
and while she is away on vacation, 
she invited me over to show you how to 
watermark your photographs using

PicMonkey is a great photo editing website. 

I find it user friendly and easy to navigate.
I'm not paid by or affiliated with PicMonkey.
I just love it.
And I think you'll love it too!

Watermarking your photos is important if you share them anywhere on the internet. 
Period.

It simply says... this is my property.

Here is an example of a photo with no watermark.

A dishonest person could, for instance, easily write a blog post claiming they picked these flowers from their garden and arranged them.

And oh aren't they just lovely.

Or, maybe their hubby or latest boy-toy 

brought them home to them.

Blah~blah... whatever.

You get the picture {no pun intended} right?

All it takes is a little something 

to protect your flowers, your kitchen remodel, 

a handmade craft... 

even your KIDS!

Here is an example of a photo with a watermark.

Step-by-Step Watermarking Instructions.

I was able to add all the little extras you see on the photo above. 
Like the water mark, back round color, label & text!


And this is a NEW
trick the monkey has learned...

tutorial clear and easy to use.
