How to print photos and make journal spreads using Canva & Pinterest + Journal w/ me November Setup

[@mara.mcginnis]

Hi friends! 💞 I hope you enjoy my 2nd ever video ☺️ The first half is focused on the printing process, the second half is a chill talk through / journal with me while I make a November moodboard 🤎🍂 So happy to have you here! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@bookborrower]

This is my favorite video on journaling I have ever watched. So simple and so good! I am so jealous that your library offers free color printing. We have 10 free black and white prints every day but not color. That's amazing!

[@mara.mcginnis]

Aww this is so kind thank you ☺️💞🫶🏼 & It really is amazing! We are spoiled over here at my library!

[@Prncssdrake]

Awww that sounds lovely. We don't have free printing at my libraries but I still use it quite a bit.

[@topcropper]

Your video was very relaxing & I love your journal spread!!! I’m an avid junk journaler, card maker, scrapbooker & a Planner too . I’m gonna make a mood board as well lol.

[@jacquiposener7262]

When you’re old and looking at your pictures, you’re not going to scroll through your phone are you? But a journal or album would be so much more interesting, not just for you but for family members too. I do journal but yours is very free and lively. Love it. Thanks for the Canva tutorial. I’ve never used it but it might really come in handy😊😊

[@mara.mcginnis]

Exactly! ❤️❤️ I love how you put that into words. And thank you for your sweet words about my journal 🥹💖 yes, happy to share the canva tutorial! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@MsRuthK]

I love how calm and relaxing you made it. I sit down with a blank book and a bunch of things to glue in it and it fills me with anxiety. But you haven’t given me inspiration. Thank you ❤

[@mara.mcginnis]

@@MsRuthK I totally get how it can sometimes stir feelings of anxiety but I’m so glad that you found this video calm and relaxing! 🥹🩷

[@Ashley-d1m]

I am the same in this manner, just started again this year and promising not to be to hard on myself

[@aysiwa]

OKAY I might be convinced to buy a journal! You make it seem so effortless and relaxed! Love the vid 😊

[@mara.mcginnis]

Awww yes do it! You won’t regret it! ☺️💖

[@Linneaaemilie]

Such a smart idea to put the rectangle on canva the know the size! I always guess and it never works out so I'll start using a rectangle too. LOVE IT! 💞

[@mara.mcginnis]

@@Linneaaemilie Yesss before I started adding the rectangle the same thing would always happen to me too! thanks for watching! ☺️💞💞

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Aside from journal and mood board I can see using this to create inspiration layout for characters and places in my novel. Creative Blessings

[@mara.mcginnis]

Thank you for watching! that is such a great idea! ❤️❤️

[@LanguidLettersArt]

The pops of red you added are so cute and bring everything together so nicely!

[@mara.mcginnis]

@@LanguidLettersArt thank you!! ☺️❤️

[@helloarlene]

This is so cute! What a great idea to print from your library. It’s so true that with this digital age that it’s a lost art to document our life in a physical form. This looks so therapeutic. ❤

[@mara.mcginnis]

Aww thanks Arlene! ☺️ & Riiiight! It truly is a lost art!! 💕

[@helenhigh4270]

Hi, just found you and your spreads are awesome. . .one tip. You may want to use a tape runner vs. a glue stick--especially if you have a journal with paper that is not that sturdy.

[@mara.mcginnis]

Thank you for the compliment on my spreads & thank you for the helpful tip! :)

[@vk5852]

This has been so helpful, both in how to use Canva and how to print all the small photos on one page without having to use photoshop. Thank you so much😊

[@mara.mcginnis]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! ☺️❤️ thank you for watching! 💞

[@purplestarkatz]

The page template idea is brilliant, and I'm totally using that moving forward! Thank you! I use a B6, so I know generally half a page (US) is the right size, but the template really lets me visualize all the sizing of my pictures for it. 😊

[@mara.mcginnis]

Yay! 🥰 So glad you liked the idea ☺️

[@burningblueskies]

This was super helpful for me, thank you! I’ve never really explored canva and I think I need to!

[@mara.mcginnis]

I’m so glad you found this video helpful! ❤️ & yesss there are so many really great features on Canva! :)

[@mara.mcginnis]

For real though!!! I can always count on Canva hahah & thank you! ☺️❤️

[@rachelfarson]

Okay I have used Canva for years! I mean 5+ years! I never knew you could type in the sizing for shapes or photos my mind is blown! Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@mara.mcginnis]

@@rachelfarson no problem! ☺️ I feel like I’m always learning something new with Canva too! 💖

Do you know if Pinterest pictures can be printed and used as backgrounds for handmade items to sell?

How about teaching a class on “setting up a Pinterest board and how to print pictures from Pinterest”
