Kitten Pictures

For Those Who Have Never Used This Before...

For anyone who does not know, Picnik is a wonderful free tool available for anyone to use. You can upload as many pictures as you would like and edit them in a variety of ways.

I have chosen to take two of my favorite recent pictures of my new kitten, Pixie, and use Picnik to "fancy" them up a bit. I'll explain what I used to take the photos from the before to the after.

Enjoy my little one's pictures!  She is one cute kitten!

So there is my first original picture. Pixie (looking adorable) sleeping in her little basket. Doesn't she look like she is smiling?

I went on Picnik, and used the following tools, (all free!):

• Under the Edit tab, I cropped the picture.
• Under Create, I used the "Go Pink" effect.
• Added text.
• Added a border using the Frames section.
• Lastly, placed a pink ribbon using a sticker.

Then I used Picnik again.

I love just using simple effects from time to time. It doesn't always have to be the hardest and most complicated ones. There's no need to add so much that the picture is lost behind the decoartions.

The following shot only had a few additions, but isn't it cute? :)

Note: Pixie was a cheerleader for Halloween, and she LOVED wearing the costume. She purred even while I was helping her get it on. She also had a football costume that she wore to greet the trick-or-treaters.

If you have time and create several pictures, or have a group of pictures from one event, why not make a collage?
