Hi there,
Another iPhone photo for you today......the daffs in our front flower bed have popped up this week. They're such cheery little flowers, don't you think?
I've got a big ole crafty post coming for you first thing in the morning tomorrow, but until then, I thought I'd share a few fun links with you today.
Have you heard of Pinterest yet? Goodness me, but it's fun! Basically, when you find photos around the internet that you love, you can "pin" them on your own "pinboards" on the Pinterest site, so that all of those photos that you found inspiring and loved for one reason or another, can all be kept in one handy dandy place, AND with the link to the original site where you found it! That's nice because firstly, it makes sure that the credit for that photo goes to the person that originally shared the photo, and secondly because the photo you love might link back to a recipe in the photo, or perhaps a favorite crafty tutorial that you don't want to forget. Just "pin" it and you're set. You can go back to see it again any time! For those of you that are always finding things around the internet and then forgetting where you saw them, Pinterest is perfect for you!
Here's a couple screen shots of some of my boards....
Oooooh, the color!
And some gorgeous spaces.....
You can view all my Pinterest boards here. The other thing I love about it is that it's just pure eye candy and inspiration. If you get stuck in a rut and need a little inspiration, just refer back to your boards for a fun new color combo you'd like to try or some technique that you saw and loved. It's really the handiest site, and pinning things is sooooo fast and easy. Anyone can easily use this site! You can request an invite to join Pinterest here.
Also, do you have the Instagram app for your iPhone yet? This is one of my favorite apps right now. It's a free app that allows you to select from different effects to add to your photos.....here's an example of the above photo after I added some Instagram actions to it.
Fun, huh? Soft and sweet. I don't use Instagram on every photo that I take on my phone, but I have definitely had fun using it on some of them. You just never know how the different actions may affect a certain photo.....and sometimes, the results are gorgeous! You can also follow people (and their photos) on Instagram. If you're looking for me on Instagram, just search "dawnsing" and my photos should pop up.
All righty, time for me to shoot a video so I'd better run. Happy Thursday!
See you tomorrow, Sweets.....
