My friend Keri asked me recently how to put an image on a large white space.  I have to do this a lot because my featured image size is a perfect square.

Start with PicMonkey.  I use PicMonkey for every post, on Blogging on the Side & Your Modern Family. 

I just take an old picture & resize it to the size that I want, so say 600 X 600.  You have to take the “Keep Proportions” off!

Now go ahead & change the Canvas Color to white.

Now click on overlays (the butterfly icon is overlays) and UPLOAD YOUR OWN.  Pick the image that you want to use for this spot.   I scale it to fit & make sure to leave room somewhere for words.  🙂

Now add the picture …

Drag the corners to the size that you want.

Add some words & anything else that you want….

That’s it!
