They've also thrown in a variety of graphics and dingbats for you to play around with.

I encourage you to check out the collection, the detail and quality of the bundle is very impressive.

Most WordPress themes that are new or under active development have updated their design techniques to make sure that your site will look great on mobile and desktop screens alike. Here are several that are well received by the community:

Avada

This theme boasts the impressive credential of the being the top selling theme on ThemeForest for over 2 years. The feature set ticks all the boxes, including a visual editor that will appeal to anyone that likes to get creative with their theme building without needing to touch a line of code.

Enfold

Another swiss army knife type of theme, the development hours that have gone into this are extremely high. It features a drag-and-drop admin interface, and claims to be the user-friendliest theme there is.

Salient

This theme features some very creative layouts that would be well suited to a portfolio site. Comes with a visual page builder and a YouTube video series to help you get going.

These are all very high quality and well supported themes that can be modified and extended as little or as much as you like. If you have a site redesign or a new idea in mind, definitely give these themes a serious look. If you are new to this, be sure to look around to find the best shared hosting plan you can. Websites can be launched for dirt cheap these days, most host providers will provide a great place to put your site for around $5 per month. If you use any of these themes or have some others you'd like to suggest, let me know!

The workflow in the past has been to search the website for your needed imagery, download the images to some directory on your computer, then import those into Photoshop to integrate them with your project. Not a huge issue really, but for professionals (or anyone, really) who are doing this day in and day out, this is something that could be improved upon to save time and reduce tedium. That is exactly what this fanstastic extension does; takes the separate processes of hunting down the right image for your design and actually integrating them into your file and brings them together.

Now within Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, this extension will give you a panel that allows you connect to your Depositphotos account and perform all of these actions without ever leaving your project. You can buy the images you need right inside the extension panel and access all of your purchased files, but one of the coolest and most useful features is the ability to simply drag image previews from the panel onto your design to quickly test out different photos to see what will work best. This is a HUGE time saver! Seriously, if you are one that performs these kind of tasks with any kind of regularity, you will quickly consider this an intergral part of your workflow and not even consider going back.

As you can tell, I think this a great product that really serves a functional need. Anything that can improve upon a process and make our lives easier and save time for a task that we arleady need to perform is a no-brainer in my book.

The extension is free, so head on over to the Depositphotos Extension page and give it a try. Also, a quick bonus! Readers of Photoshopgirl.com can use a promo code for 30 days (until Feb. 27th, 2014) to get 15% off of any stock photography purchases from Despositphotos: PROMO CODE: CS7581155

Here are few screenshots of the extension in action, enjoy!

I have another exciting giveaway for you guys today! We've partnered up with our friends at WebHostingBuzz.com to give out some free hosting packages. As many of you will know, having a good web host that you can trust for your site is one of the primary things you need to have a successful web presence.

This is a great opportunity for those of you that might have had free hosted blogs somewhere like WordPress or Blogger to finally get your own hosting server to give you that total control you haven't had, and you'll be in good hands.

The contest will run for 2 weeks, at which time I'll notify the winners. Good luck!

Enter ToonCharacters.com. These guys specialize in creating HUGE packs of poses for a toon character, and then selling those for you use how you see fit for a really affordable price. Seriously, each pack can be had for as little as $8. Even the most expensive version of each pack is $32, and for that you get scalable, editible source files that even included the individual shapes used to make up the characters so that you can create your own customized version! If you've even tried to commission work on one of these guys, I can't tell you how awesome of a deal this is. They can be used on whatever your imagination can come up with. Business cards, websites, apps, tee shirts, newsletters, posters...whatever you like!

This one has a snowflake and ribbon attached with a button, giving off a really nice hand-made appearance.

How about a card with an awesome snow globe on it!? Really love how this card came out.

I love anything interactive, so this card that lets you fold it into a Christmas tree is really impressive!

I like the cut out snowflake effect and the candy cane style bow tying this card up.

If you have family that likes to display all the cards they get, this one is easy to stand up anywhere.

This rotating snowman card is another one that appeals to my interactive side.

So there you have it, perhaps this has sparked some good ideas for you to make your own cards if you wish next year, and I hope you have a Happy Holiday!
