			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Happy NEW Year! :o)  <strong><em>Kylie</em></strong> here&#8230;dropping in (super-quickly&#8230;and just in the nick of time too!!) to share our brand new <strong>January 2013</strong> <a href="http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/blog/index.php/category/free_desktops/" target="_blank">desktop calendars</a>!  I had lots of fun designing, not just one, but TWO calendar options for you all this time round.  One is all snuggly and wintery (for all our northern hemisphere friends) and the other is all bright and breezy (for all our southern hemisphere friends)&#8230;basically I couldn&#8217;t decide on a theme so I did both!! ;o)  Double the fun really - plus I&#8217;m sweltering in the summer heat down here in Australia and the cute <a href="http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=204" target="_blank">Winter Wonderland</a> snowman would have melted right off my screen! LOL! :o)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Hello, hello! it&#8217;s <strong><em>Kylie</em></strong> here, again! :o)  This is a quick little post to share our <strong>free JULY desktop</strong>! YAY!!  I really enjoyed putting this one together for you all and designed it with quite a few things in mind&#8230;a touch of casual summer sweetness, a little red, white &amp; blue for July 4th celebrations&#8230;and for me (and other southern hemisphere folk) a little patchwork quilt action to keep our wintery july warm!! ;o)  &#8230;a fun combination that I truly hope you enjoy the whole month through!  Oh&#8230;and instead of adding a family pic to the blog example below I added a little July 4th greeting from the very cool <a href="http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=351" target="_blank">Cottage Summer Seasonal Additions</a>&#8230;you really can have so much fun with this little digi set!!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Yes, our <strong>FREE desktop POLL</strong> for your preferred size has been finalized&#8230;you may (or may not, lol) have just noticed a slight change in the above download links?!  We had hundreds of votes&#8230;so <strong>THANKS to everyone</strong> that took the time to vote&#8230;we truly appreciate it!  Here is an overview of the final &#8216;top five&#8217; results&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">You guys have had your say, so that means that we will now design our desktops at <strong>1920&#215;1080</strong> and <strong>1280&#215;800 </strong>from here on out&#8230;well, unless it changes again in our next poll, lol!  If your computer resolution size missed out this time (mine did, lol!!), don&#8217;t forget that you could easily make your own edits in your photo-editing software while inserting your photo/s&#8230;just trim, reduce, or even add etc to the background&#8230;easy! :o)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">If you are interested in our free desktops, but have no idea how to <strong>insert your own photos</strong> – please visit our <a href="http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/tutorials/software_tutorials.asp" target="_blank"><strong>TUTORIALS</strong></a> page and refer to the <em><strong>USING THE PIECE-A-CAKE .PNG FILES TO CREATE AN ALBUM</strong></em> titles :o)  We offer this tutorial in both screen shot and video format, for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.  And, while the tutorial is not specifically for the desktops – the concepts are very much the same…and should help out a lot!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">As always – THANK YOU so much for stopping by…and for enjoying our desktops :o)  We plan to keep them coming…but I&#8217;m wondering if it isn&#8217;t about time we review our resolution sizes??  Last year we added a poll to our blog sidebar and I would love to know if you&#8217;d like us to add it again to find out the top TWO sizes.  I know many of you wish we could design <em>EVERY</em> size each month (we do, too, lol) &#8211; but I’m sure you understand that that is just not possible.  To get the ball rolling, we&#8217;d be grateful if you could add a comment on this post should you like to see it put to the VOTE once again!  THANKS!!</p>
