FancyGram

November 26, 2013 by Patricia 4 Comments

I have a confession.  One of the reasons I haven’t really been blogging (or tweeting for that matter) is that I find Instagram so much fun.  If you want to know what currently inspires me, what projects I’ve been working on, or how I’ve been decorating and organizing our home lately, follow me on Instagram.  I also post lots and lots of food pictures!

I hadn’t been taking Instagram seriously (or rather, with much enthusiasm)  until about 8 months ago, I think.   Iphoneography has really opened up a whole new world for me.  It is so easy to snap photos of everything that strikes my fancy now.  And with apps like PicTapGo and Snapseed, I can even edit them on the go without having to upload them to my desktop.  Getting my iPhone 5S also meant better photos, so I hardly ever edit them now except to crop or add an occasional filter here and there.

My lovely friend Martine  nicely suggested that I create hashtags for my posts, so I did.  🙂 You can find interesting stuff by searching #fancygirlhome for home decorating and organizing inspiration; #fancygirlkitchen shows my own kitchen adventures (I either prepare really healthy low-carb food, or super sinful baked goodies and rich pasta & casseroles), #fancygirleats are my dining out posts.

But that’s not all I post, of course. 🙂 You can also find my calligraphy efforts, small watercolor projects, and other fancy stuff. 🙂

    I’m a follower!!! I love your #fancygirlhome photos. 🙂
    I also have that hashtag kind of thing in my posts, like #bebengcooks, #bebengeats, #bebengloves and #littlebebeng. I wish I’d have an iPhone soon so I could take better photos as I’m only using a Samsung S3 mini. Love your calligraphy posts, too! <3

    I always enjoy looking through your IG feed, Pat. You keep me inspired. 🙂

    PS
    I love your selfies too! You have flawless and youthful skin. I also love the occasional appearances of your bagets. 🙂

What do you want the world to think of when they h What do you want the world to think of when they hear your brand name?

Your brand is your manifesto, your one-word or symbol declaration of who you are and what you stand for. It doesn't have to be true yet, but it's what you want to be, and how you want people to see you. If you're successful, your brand's perception will become its reality.

How do you want your clients to feel when they think of your brand? What perception are you trying to shape? Let me know in the comments!

Step into the new world of Fancy Girl Design Studi Step into the new world of Fancy Girl Design Studio! The new website is a reflection of my brand's evolution. It's more sophisticated and polished, and it better represents my brand values and commitment to providing customers with the best possible experience. (I do miss the pink though!)

I owe a big thank you to my amazing brand photographer, @zebrajojophotography , for capturing the essence of my brand perfectly. I think she can read my mind now! 

Visit the website today and experience the difference. Oh, while you're there, do try out the brand personality quiz, and share your results!

Creatively adventurous, bold, upscale, and establi Creatively adventurous, bold, upscale, and established. Not an easy set of keywords to visualize, but here's the moodboard and color palette for this talented workplace designer. 

The color palette has very midcentury modern vibes, and one that I am excited to render in a logo design as it's quite unusual!

I launched my website even though it wasn't 100% r I launched my website even though it wasn't 100% ready. ⁣😳

You know why? It will never be 100% ready. It will never be 100% perfect. Or bug free. Your website will need tweaking, updating, and a zhuzhing up here and there every now and then (as I do with cushions every time I pass by the couch). 

You have more portfolio galleries to share? Post them later. Google will love you for producing fresh content frequently. You want to change your headshots? Go ahead and update them every season if you wish. You can even tweak your copy to make sure it's up to date with your latest offerings. You should be making these updates anyway, even if your website was perfect when you launched it. (but realistically, no website ever is.) 

Have you checked out my new website yet? Don't forget to sign up for fancy mail and get my free guide to website images. 💖

It is unbelievably easy to use the Generative Fill It is unbelievably easy to use the Generative Fill tool on Photoshop 2024! The latest version of the software has a much more powerful version of the AI and is capable of doing so much more than just remove backgrounds from photos. 

Here are step by step instructions on how I changed the art inside the frame using this tool. All in a matter of seconds. 

And then of course I tried doing it manually and ended up liking the result more. 😂 but that's just me! It really is a very easy tool to use. 

Have you tried it? And can you tell which one is not AI generated?
