Saturday Revamp 5

 photo saturdayrevampbutton_zps147890f5.jpg

Time for my own little theme day. I took this pic on January 1, 2008.  It was Adela's first introduction to snow.  We didn't stay out long.  She wasn't crazy about it.

Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 3b

Little Adventures
 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 photo m_5b5a6c5cae3fb4ab97d3c2752d5fd57b_zps8e617fff.gif

Valentine Card and A Bingo

Wow, this is a huge delay in me posting the current challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle. I have been sick since Wednesday.  For a day and a half I had non-stop coughing with a fever.  On Friday my fever reach 103.  How I got the kids to school - I do not know.  Now it is Saturday and my fever is hanging around 99.8.  I now have regular cold symptoms.  I have to get out of bed cuz now my Hubs says he is sick.  I guess I should be happy that I am not coughing every two minutes.  Yea, that was how it was.  Plus every five minutes I had a coughing fit. 

Okay, enough about my health. The current challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle is a bingo challenge.  Every so often a design team member puts a challenge together.  This week was my turn.  I even made the bingo card:) photo butterfly_zps005fc3ce.gif

I am using the Love Secret image.  I used metal embellie, digi image and sparkle.

Thanks for looking!

Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 2A

Little Adventures
I found another photo edit site. It looks just like Picnik did. They have the frog!  It is called Ribbet.com.   Right now it is free but you have to register to use the premium stuff. I am sure some day they will also start to charge but I think Picmonkey is still better.

Next month is my birthday and I am hoping for some birthday money;)  If I do...I am paying for a subscription to Picmonkey.  I miss using their Daguerreotype Frame.  Other sites don't have it and I can't replicate it in Gimp even with the textures I found on Flickr.

So with this edit I used Ribbet, just to see what it was like.

The pic that was supplied, was by Amy.

  • Eye brighten and mascara tool for the eyes.
  • Tooth whiten tool.
  • Got rid of the white in the lower right corner.
  • Used the Love Flare.

Saturday Revamp 4

saturdayrevampbutton 2 photo saturdayrevampbutton2_zps8dca04e1.jpg

I took the picture in June of 2008.   We had gone to a zoo in Moline, Il.  It was called The Niabi Zoo.  The fish would all group together when they saw people at the edges.  They were so used to getting food.  It was an amazing site.  Remind me of a scary movie;)

My edit

  • Then I went to ipiccy and used the vintage filter-Polaroid Film.

Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 1A

Feeling much better than last week. I found out over the weekend that Pixlr.com, who originally had the editing program photobucket was using, still has it. So, I had to send the good news. So, I went crazy on Facebook and twitter. I knew I wasn't the only one disappointed.
 
Though this week isn't going so smooth  either.  Guess we can't always have a good week.   It is only Wednesday, it still has a chance to improve:)

This pretty picture was supplied by Amy. It was taken at her wedding.

Saturday Revamp 3

Still not happy since this morning. Photobucket and my work not sending me my check...yet others have gotten theirs. Man, this weekend is sucking:( 

So, on to my Saturday Revamp.

saturdayrevampbutton 2 photo saturdayrevampbutton2_zps8dca04e1.jpg

I took this pic in January of 2008 right after a snow fall.  The only time a leafless tree looks pretty is when snow or ice is on it.

  • Used the eye brighten tool everywhere.
  • Soften the area around the tree.

FFPH 5B & Boooo Photobucket

Today is not starting out well. I haven't gotten my check from work yet and Photobucket threw away their cool edits. Mobile apps are better than they are right now. Gosh, I hope they get back to the old way soon.
Little Adventures
Okay, time for another pic challenge with Flip Flop Photo Challenges. It is of Amy as a little girl.
Original

My edit
This is what I did:

Ipiccy:
  • Autofixed
  • Used the eye brightened tool on hair and outfit.
  • Airbrushed
  • Added a little blush on right cheek.
  • Used the mascara tool on the whole eye and hair.
  • Used the grunge texture which I faded to 30%.
  • Used the vintage filter Robert at 35%.

Photobucket:
  • This is where the disappointment started.  I found they threw all the good stuff away!!  So I used some kind of white grungy frame.  I was so mad I forgot to check the name cuz as soon as I did it I went to their facebook page and complained.  Then went to twitter and complained some more!
  • I tried to add my text but found it was not friendly at all.

Soooooo....I went back to ipiccy and added my text.

First picmonkey started to charge for their cool edits and now photobucket threw their cool edits away.

I am sooo irritated!!

I hope you all are having a better day!!

By the way...thanks for looking.
