In a recent post I included a picture of myself on TV and Cynthia Bartch commented asking how I made the graphic. I thought maybe I should do another post to pass on the great site that I used for not only that graphic but many others.
The site is Photofunia. It is free. It is very easy to use. It is a lot of fun and the results are very impressive. Click on Select Effect, upload your photo, and you can be on a billboard or magazine cover...instant celebrity!
Here are some samples of pictures I have created using Photofunia:
Take the creative process one step further, and after creating your Photofunia photo, take the new photo to Picnik and add text. My husband makes wine, and we needed a label for a bottle I was bringing to my niece's wedding shower. Using a picture of Melissa and Josh, I created this for the label:
The possibilities are endless...I would love to see what creative ideas you have for this program. Please share your photo creations in the comment section.

Sharon, what a great tool - thank you so much for sharing! It is like staging your blog... ;-)
Sharon,
Im heading over there now to check it out. Thanks 4 posting.
Sean
That is a cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I especially love the kittens at the top.
That's funny I saw someone else had done that vogue photo thing. I figured they just used photoshop to do it. I am going to have some fun with the site now.
Sharon, I am having trouble uploading photos to Active Rain. I was able for awhile, and now I can not. I Have followed the instructions (i.e., Holding down Cntr key before selection icon) but get a popping sound. Is this becasue Active Rain is working on changes to the system or?
Sharon Thanks for the websites. Im going to have a ball with this!! Thank you for sharing!!
Sounds interesting! Im gonna check it out! Thanks for sharing!
Joanne: Actually it is staging your photos! I hope it is useful to you!
Sean: Please come back and show us your creation you make!
Angelia: Thanks, My aunt had to go into a nursing home last year and couldn't bring her three cats. It was very painful for her to give them up. I used this photo on her birthday card and she loved it.
Heather: Well now it is your turn to create a picture. I would love to see what you come up with. The finished photos are fun to use for greeting cards. Good luck and have fun!
Sharon,

Edward and Celia: I'm not sure, but it sounds like a pop-up blocker is the problem. My suggestion is to contact Bob Stewart. He seems to have answers to most problems. I hope he can help you.
Fernando and Jennifer: I'm happy you guys are going to give it a try. Post your creative shots and share with us.
How cute is this idea? I just love it. Thanks for the post...

Evelyn and Li: I hope you have as much fun as I do with it. Please share some photos you create!
Sharon, great tip. about two months ago, my friend sent me her daughter being famous in Broadway New York, I almost believed it. Then I forgot about the website. Thank you for reminding me.
Huiting: You are welcome! I hope you get a chance to use the site this time. Have fun with it.
Sharon - That sounds like a pretty cool sight! Thanks for sharing it with us...! :)
Debi: You are welcome. Be creative and have fun with it. I do!
Hey Sharon, First of all thanks for the love link, you're so kind! For some reason it wouldn't save to my PC, so I used another tool to grab the photo from the site. Here's what I came up with so far.
Thanks for sharing the fun Sharon!!!!
Back again Sharon, How cute is this? I really need to finish a few invoices but this was a fun break!
Cynthia: Those are great! What a cute doggie! Thanks for sharing your photos. I'm so glad you are enjoying the site. I've had a lot of fun using the photos for birthday cards.
This is really really cool! Thanks for sharing.
Melissa: Glad you like it! Please come back and share a photo you make.
Hey Sharon, that's my daughter's pup. Since I don't have grandchildren (yet), I have a grand-doggie!
Ok, one more Sharon........I can't help myself!
Cynthia: Both of my daughters have dogs and I refer to them as my grandpuppies. My son's wife is currently pregnant and we are very excited to be expecting our first grand "baby" in June. I am so glad you are having so much fun with Photofunia. Thanks for sharing your photos with me.
