Dear Readers

Hi everyone. 

I just wanted to tell you I am taking a break from Fashion Story and may not be on or blogging about it for a little while. I am still looking for ideas for blog posts, but have so far found nothing that sparked my interest. Thank you for visiting my blog and let me know if you have any suggestions either in the comments here or on my Questions & Suggestions page. I will continue to look for ideas during this break and I hope to be writing here again soon. 

Thank you and Happy New Year! ~ Sky's Limit

How to Use PicMonkey: a Tutorial Requested By Style N Fit

Style N Fit was curious about my collages and asked me what I used to make them. I told her that I would post a tutorial to fully explain how I use PicMonkey.

Today I am going to edit this picture for my next post:

With PicMonkey, you can either Edit a photo, Create a collage or Design. I have yet to use design, but that is beside the point. Today I am going to create a collage and then edit it.

First thing we need to do is select the photo to edit:

Now that we have our photo, we need to design our collage:

You can change the arrangement of your squares and the size of your photo:

Also there are some available 'swatches' which you can use to enhance and brighten up your collage.

Now it is time to change the background color:

Because of I want to use this collage for, I want to change the size: 

Now its time to add text, overlays and more:

First I am going to add a frame, to give this picture a little more dignity:

Now we will add text: 

 You can use these themes if you are looking for a specific look:

But for now I will save my creation:

In a few hours I will post this picture in it's one post :), hope this answers your question Style N Fit and thanks for asking! Please feel free to ask any more questions you have via comments. ~ Sky's Limit 

Starting a Fashion Story Boutique: Getting a Good Start on Your Boutique, Part 2

Now that you have your boutique name in mind, it is time to start a boutique. First you need to go to the place where you buy apps on your gaming device of choice. Once the game is downloaded, open it. Your screen should look something like this:

Once it finishes loading it will run you through the following basic tutorial.

After you have completed this tutorial, there is no other hints as to how to do the rest of the required things to keep your boutique going. Last time we discussed Starting a Fashion Story Boutique, I mentioned the importance of a Boutique Name and how to come up with one.

To choose your boutique name tap the pink tag that says "main".

It will show you the screen above, now tap "profile". It should show you something like this, though you might need to tap the word 'profile' like in the picture below.

as you can see it says "Boutique Name: Choose your name…" tap the pink choose button and it will do this:       

Type the name you came up with and then hit done.

Tada! you just named your boutique! This name can be changed, but it cost gems which in this game are rare, so choose your name wisely.

Go back to the main menu and tap 'social':

now tap invite friends and make an ID. You haft to have a Storm8 ID to invite friends to be your neighbors which is a very important part of the game.

Now that you have started your boutique and have come up with a name, storm8 ID and hopefully a Boutique theme, you are ready for the next step which is completing the dream of your theme! ~ Sky's Limit and The Bat Cave

Christmas Outfits, Part 1 (Where is the Green?)

I was putting together some outfits for my avatar in honor of the current season, when it struck me that there are very few green items that do not cost gems. Since red and green are somewhat traditional Christmas colors, I hope they have something green in the next closet update. What do Y'all think it should be? ~ Sky's Limit
