Enjoy, my bloggy friends…
I love giving away stuff…in the form of giveaways, tutorials and fun little things you can use for your blog.
So today, how about some pretty, girlie social media buttons for your blog or website?

You can download this set of icons in png file format here.
How to Use:
The beauty of png files is that they can be easily modified by color, size, transparency, etc. So, the same Facebook file above can be modified in a photo editor like Photoshop or on PhotoBucket.com to look like this:
How to modify the color In Photoshop Elements:
1. Open the png file.
2. Go to Enhance>Adjust Color>Adjust Hue/Saturation. Use the sliders to change the hue, saturation and lightness.
3. Click Ok, then save the file.
…In Photoshop:
1. Upload the png file.
2. Go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. Use the sliders to change the hue, saturation and lightness.
3. Click Ok, then save the file.
…On PhotoBucket.com:
1. Upload the png file.
2. In the album, hover over the image and select Edit. Then select Adjust and use the sliders to change the hue, saturation and lightness.
3. Click Done.
The default size of the icons is pretty large at 200x200px. That will give you plenty of wiggle room for sizing appropriately for your blog. Typically, an icon will be around 50x50px and you can resize in your photo editor or when you upload to your blogging platform.
Any questions? Speak up! And enjoy… 
A while back, I was searching the internet for some shabby chic style social media icons. I couldn’t find any, so I created some myself and shared them with you. Since then, at the request of several readers, I added a few more icons to the set.
Check ‘em out…
To save, simply right click on the image(s) you want and select “save image as” and save it somewhere on your hard drive. You’ll notice these are extra “big” at 125×125 pixels and you probably wont need them quite so large, but you can easily resize them in a photo editor or when you upload them to your blog platform.
Enjoy!
