Sharing the Love {Sponsor Greatness} Part 1


Happy Friday, Everyone!
I am excited to introduce you to some of my Shared Feature Sponsors.  I love getting to know them and am now excited to introduce you to them.  Stop by their blogs, get to know them!



Tell us about yourself and your blog
I'm Amber. I'm currently homeless. We just moved from Alaska and are on our way to Ft Benning, Ga. Staying with my sister in Tennessee for a bit first to catch up on some family time. In my blog, you honestly find a bit of everything. Recipes, DIY, my life, crafts, link ups, etc. etc.  

Why did you start blogging? 
I've always just rambled. Back when OpenDiary was cool, then I went to livejournal then even used myspace to ramble. Back when I was a kid I'd keep a diary/scrapbook of everything. I just like to ramble and remember things.

What is something you want people to know about you? 
I used to not paint my fingers only my toes. Used to HATE fingernail polish ON my fingers. But thanks to Pinterest now I actually sometimes wear polish.



Tell us about yourself and your blog
I'm Brittany! I'm a college student, wanna-be psychologist, and mommy of one... Fur baby. I blog about my life and pretty much anything I feel like writing about.

Why did you start blogging? 
I started blogging after reading other blogs. They inspired me so much, and I hope that my blog does the same for other people.

What is something you want people to know about you? 
Most people don't know that I wanted to be an interior designer in high school. I was so sure of it, I even looked into going to FIDM for college.



Tell us about yourself and your blog
I'm known around town as the Angry Bird, and for good reason, probably. My blog reflects a little bit of my spunky personality and I post everything from daily musings to book reviews to wanderlustful travel posts {I think I just made up a word} to recipes and DIYs when I get off my lazy butt.

Why did you start blogging? 
I started blogging as a way to vent, really, like an online diary of sorts, and then it just turned into so much more. I love writing and I'm on the computer way too much, so I just kind of put two and two together.

What is something you want people to know about you? 
I don't watch TV and I don't eat dairy. I know, I know, how do I even exist..




Tell us about your blog
Hi! I'm Kimberly from A Night Owl, a blog about the evening antics of a working mom! I'm wife to my best friend Andre, and mother to two adorable boys, AJ and Alex. In my "spare time" I enjoy crafting, photography, thrifting, parties or a quick and easy recipe and have really enjoyed sharing this aspect of my life with all of you! I love to connect with new friends and would love for you to come by A Night Owl and introduce yourself!

Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging to encourage and strengthen the creative aspect of my life as well as to meet fabulous like-minded women who I could connect with!

What is something you want people to know about you?
I really am a night owl. I work full time and like to spend time with the kiddos in the evenings, so I typically do most of my blogging after the kids' bedtime. This means a lot of scheduling!

------------
Next week, I'll introduce you to the some more lovely ladies!

{Guest Post} Feature Sponsor A Night Owl

Today, I have Kimberly from A Night Owl.  Kimberly is my In Post Feature Sponsor.  Having her on board this month has been a true joy. I love getting to know her more!  I can't wait for you to get to know her better too


-------------------------------------------------------


Hi, I'm Kimberly from A Night Owl and I want to thank Kim (such a great name) for having me here today! If you don't know me, one things you'll learn quicky is that I {heart} Instagram. It's by far my social media app of choice. I love to see all the fun, beauty, and creativeness that others are able to capture in pictures. It's inspirational. I also love to share things that are important to me and what inspires me. This year I've been participating in the #photoaday challenge by @fatmumslim. If you want to see my pictures so far, you can access my #photoaday album HERE. If you're doing #photoaday as well, be sure to stop by at the end of each month to link up your recap posts at our #photoadayrecap party! Also, if you're on IG, come find and follow me at @anightowlblog...I always follow back! I'm asked from time to time what my favorite apps are to edit or create photos I post on Instagram. And I always love to share! I only use my iPhone for pictures, but there are many apps that I love to use for filters, frames, and labels. Here are my Top Ten faves (note: these are all links for the iPhone because that is the phone that I have; however, there are many similar apps for Android):
PicFrame There are many frame apps out there, this is the one that I use. You can choose from many collage frames sizes and styles, and with the add-on, add labels to your photos.
Phoster Make a cool poster out of your photos! Fun options!
Labelbox Add cute labels and banners to your photos.
Masking Tape You can washi "tape" your pictures onto frames with TONS of different and fun options!
Pic Collage Make a free form collage with different shaped and sized photos! Change backgrounds, add text.
Montage Crop your photos into fun shapes!
Halftone Turn your photos into a comic book sketch!
Phonto Add text to images. Send a message!
LemeLeme Share your photos with others, change them up with fun filters and effects.
Pocketbooth It's a photo booth in your "pocket"! You can use this in combo with Pic Collage for a fun photo compilation!
I hope that helps! And I hope you love the list, download some new apps, and continue to create! Also, I'm continually inspired by new Instagram friends. So if you're new to IG or want to make new friends, come check out our new Instagram Blog Hop on Tuesdays!
-------------------------------------------
Thanks Kimberly for stopping by and sharing your favs with us!  

I hope everyone has a great day!
