How to Create Free Printables the Easy Way
1) Go to PicMonkey – it’s an easy to use, free photo editor and click the Design button
2) Click the “crop” button and choose the size you want for your printable (I chose 8″ x 10)
3) Go to GraphicStock and sign up for the FREE 7 day trail of unlimited downloads and choose your favorite graphic. You can search your favorite topics – I searched “vintage bike” and came up with tons of cute options.
4) Download the image from GraphicStock – I saved mine as a jpg
5) Go back to PicMonkey and click the “butterfly” icon on the left side and choose “your own” and grab the graphic you just downloaded from GraphicStock
6) Your image will appear in the white box – grab a corner and drag it to enlarge
7) Click the “Tt” icon on the left side for text and choose your favorite font
8) Click save and print your work of art
My gift to you – click the pic below to download your own free Enjoy the Ride printable

Very helpful Kelly, thank you.
Seems like a great resource for bloggers and DIYers alike.
It definitely is!
Thanks for the tutorial Kelly! I use Pic Monkey all the time- my favorite photo and graphic editor. But I didnt know about Graphic Stock- definitely going to give it a try!
So glad Sue – hope you find some great images!

My pleasure Amy!
Hi there-
So, I’m just curious as to which laptop/computer/tablet that you use. I have an iPad but the memory isn’t large enough to store software, and I’m hesitant about getting a laptop as well because of this reason. What is your top choice?
Thanks in advance!
MJ
I use a Mac Air – but you don’t need to download any special software to use PicMonkey.
Thanks, Kelly.
When you have the graphics downloaded from the 7 day trial period and make printables from those graphics, are you able to sell the printables that you made with those graphics? or are there copyright issues with that?
