This is what I did:

I went to Ribbet.com:
I brought out more of the clouds and blue sky with white balance and some saturation.  I tried to clone in more blue in the clouds.

Gimp:
Added a sun with the supernova filter.

Back to Ribbet:
Added a texture and used the Morocco Filter.

Then finished with Picmonkey:
Needed my bee:)

My spring break is almost over.  Crudola!

FFEC April 1A

I almost forgot about The Flip Flop Edit Challenge!  The pic was taken by Amy, the host of The Flip Flop Edit Challenge, over at her Grandma's just a few days ago!

Me Edit

This is what I did...

• First with Picmonkey I added lens flare, bokeh, and used the eye brighten tool on the bird.
• Then I went to ipiccy and added the mirror frame. 
• Then went back to Picmonkey to add the bee sticker for my watermark.  Ipiccy has no bee sticker. 

The reason why I am using bees is because St. Rita of Cascia is the Patron Saint of hopeless causes, which includes, trying to have a baby, and her symbol is the bee.

Thanks for looking!

Well, with my b-day money I bought a one year subscription to picmonkey. I was so glad I did! They added bokeh!! I also got to use my favorite frame from picmonkey...daguerreotype frame!!   I know I was irritated that they had started to charge for their cool edits but I eventually realize....I just have to deal;)

Amy, the host of Flip Flop Edit Challenge supplied the pretty pic of the flowers.

Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 4B

Still feeling a bit out of it.  Haven't done much with the computer.  The coughing keeps me up so through out the day I feel so pooped!  Anywho...

The current pic over at Flip Flop Edit Challenge was supplied by the guest judge, Gina Kleinworth of Kleinworth & Co.  The picture is so picturesque, so crisp and clear!  Man, wish I had that kind of talent.

This is what I did:

 

With ipiccy,

• I added a blue ray texture from Kawaii & Graph.  The link I have for it takes it to a forum page so I don't have the correct link to the texture itself.
• Used the Daguerreotype filter.
• Used the Polaroid Film Filter.

With Gimp,

• I added a Double Grunge Border by Struckdumb over at DeviantArt.
• I also added some Gimp Scratch Brushes by FrostBro over at Deviant Art.

Thanks for looking!

 Amy again applied the picture for the current challenge.  I had issues with this edit.  I used Gimp with adding the frame and I had a hard time making it fit.  I fear the pic is distorted a bit.  Still learning
