The Make A Scene Mockup Story
I’m Sarah, and I’m obsessed with side hustles and bright internet images of every kind – I blame Pinterest, iPads, internet flat lay images, and Instagram for that. Online images have mesmerized me for as long as I can remember seeing images online…which really isn’t that long ago.
I had the desire to start a TPT store long before Make A Scene Mockups, but I just couldn’t ever pull the trigger on selling teaching resources. I often thought….how? How do you do all that? How do you spend hours on the resource? Then create the thumbnail, the covers, the preview, the video and so much more??? It seemed so overwhelming to me. But buying a mockup seems so…so much like…well…whoever else bought it. How can you be sure no one else will be using the same mockup?
And then…I had what I thought was a flash of brilliance. I need to take the mockup photo, cut it apart in Photoshop, and then put it back together into a Google Slide for teachers so they can move it around and have a custom mockup! Then they can customize it however they want. I really thought I had an original idea 😂😂😂. I soon learned there was no such thing as an original idea, but that didn’t stop me from giving it a try.
After a year of photographing, photoshopping, and staging scenes in a Canva template link, I have a product that is getting closer and closer to solving every problem in a TPT seller’s life…okay, that’s a stretch. But I hope the images of all my tiny things can help you in some small way; I’ve been working on this collection for almost 15 years now. If there is any way I can make them even more helpful to you, make sure to reach out and let me know!

💓any hobby that justifies the money I spend every month on my Adobe and Canva subscriptions.
