Peonies, Pink Saturday & PicMonkey’s Collage

May 26, 2012 at 7:30 am by Claudia

Hello, gorgeous flower! Hello little green bug. I’m so glad you’re finally here.
And you…you look awfully pretty in my little McCoy vase.
Dear readers, I wish that you could lean right into this photo and smell these beauties.

On this Saturday, I have good news for all of you collage makers. PicMonkey’s collage feature is up. I happened to go to PicMonkey to edit these photos and boom! There it was! It’s very easy, very user-friendly.

I made two collages:

There’s lots of different grids and patterns. I’ve only played with it very briefly, but it looks neat. Go check it out!

Happy Saturday. And Happy 4th Birthday for Beverly’s Pink Saturday!

    PicMonkey collages have a lot of configurations and I’ve only explored a few. Love you peony pictures. Mine are just about ready to pop. My favourite flower.

    I made one on Picmonkey, but decided I actually like Ipiccy better. Why? You can resize the pics in the collage like you could with Picnik. If you can do it in Picmonkey, I never figured it out. Tried to call you earlier…

    That vase is perfect for your peonies! I had 3 different colors before I moved to the woods. I just looked at your dollhouse timeline – so pretty. And I guess I should try PicMonkey – are those flowers from your garden??? Very professional! I enjoyed my visit!

    Happy very, very late Pink Saturday Fourth Birthday. I hope I earn a teensy bit of credit for still trying to visit all the party pinkies.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
