InLinkz 342 Senior Salon Pit Stop
A New Year, a New Start, a New Look! Let’s rev up those engines and roar into 2025 with InLinkz 342 Senior Salon Pit Stop!
NEW LOOK
I have recently made a switch from Canva to Plasfy. While I love Canva, the Pro version is quite pricey. Although I could still use the free version, it doesn’t include all the extra Pro features. To cut down on expenses, I decided to move to Plasfy.
I still have access to Canva until my subscription ends in April 2025, but I am mainly using it to check and recreate my templates and designs in Plasfy. So far, I’m enjoying Plasfy! The team is super helpful, constantly improving the platform, and very open to suggestions. I’m happy to support them and excited to see how the program grows.
To give you some background on this new inexpensive tool. Plasfy (affiliate link)
Plasfy is an online graphic design tool designed for ease of use, often aimed at individuals needing quick and professional designs. Here are two benefits of using Plasfy:
1. User-Friendly Interface
Plasfy’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface simplifies the design process, making it accessible for beginners and efficient for professionals. It eliminates the steep learning curve often associated with graphic design tools, allowing users to create stunning visuals like social media posts, flyers, or business cards in minutes.
2. Customizable Templates and Elements
Plasfy offers various pre-designed templates, stock images, fonts, and design elements. This variety saves time and ensures professional-quality results, making it ideal for me to create polished designs without hiring a designer.
Come and join me at Plasfy.
Just $9.99 One-Time (All Editor Features Unlocked – Lowest Price Ever) – Grab it before it’s gone, as I am not sure how long this will last!
It’s time to link up, share your fabulous posts, and set new records together every week. Let’s hit ludicrous speed and make this the best year yet for creativity, connection, and community.
So buckle up for another exciting year with us here at SSPS!

Hi there Paula. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you will enjoy it. It’s a learning curve as all new stuff, but slowly I am getting the hang of it. If you need help, I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. I still have a lot to learn but its slowly coming together for me
Esme, thank you again for the invitation to join your link party! Glad to finally get over. 🙂 I’ve linked two posts, SYS #447 and a tablescape post from Christmas (#199 and #200). I’ll try and finish another new post and link it, too.
Thank you again and Happy New Year!

Happy 2025! I had a lovely break and hope you did, too, but it’s also nice to be back in my blogging world. 🙂 I use Canva a lot, for blogging, for business social media, and even in the college courses I teach. I’ve never heard of Plasfy (but then I just use the free version of Canva, too). Looking forward to seeing your new look this year. I’ve shared #50, #51, and #52 today and I’m off now to visit 3 other posts and comment. Have a great week. Thank you for hosting!
Hi Jennifer, Thanks for reading the post and your input on Canva and Plasfy. I would have loved to remain with Canva but the Pro version is getting way to expensive for me, and that’s the only reason why I moved. It’s a learning curve to use Plasfy but any other program will be the same. I am starting to get the hang of Plasfy and will still use the free Canva version once my pro version expires. Thanks for linking, and visiting others.
Esme, thanks for all you do!
Thanks dear Melynda, May you have an awesome week.
Happy new year, Esme! I’m at #35-39 today.
Wishing you a fantastic and wonderful 2025 and thanks for always being here, linking, visiting others and commenting.
Thanks for hosting. Have a great week.
Dear Steph, Thanks for popping in and linking, commenting, sharing and visiting others. Please spread the news to you own followers and let’s make this a doozy year here at SSPS.
Hey, Esme. Thank you so much for hosting! Happy 2025 & wish you all the best!
Thanks Jhuls, Let’s warm up those engines and give our best for 2025 and above all have fun.
Happy New year Esme! I hope 2025 will be full of God’s rich blessings for you.
This week I’m sitting at #15-17, thank you for hosting.
Blessings, Jennifer
Dear Jennifer. Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind wishes. May you have a blessed, wonderful and God filled 2025 as well.
