poladroid

I know I have raved about this totally fabulous little bit of free software before, but forgive me, I must gush again... after I took these photos of my roses last night and downloaded them I played with some of them in poladroid and well I just really LOVE this software!

it takes an average photo like this where I was beginning to lose light
and turns it into this (complete with random fingerprints - which is a setting you can choose)

and this, which is pretty enough

but makes it so much more romantic looking
this one with too much flash and a little crooked
into this, it looks like a snapshot from the 60's
and this one that I like just the way it is
makes it into this which is a totally different take on it
have some fun with it yourself and get it here it's free!

free printable invitations

speaking of invitations... look what I found over at the new nonpariel magazine a new online magazine that inspires you to create budget-friendly weddings and events with lots of very cool do-it-yourself projects and inspiration!

I love these downloadable Bunting Wedding Invites created by Haley that you can download, add your text to and print on lovely paper (she even suggests which fonts to use - how handy is that?)

there are many other gorgeous freebies to be had too! so make sure you check out nonpariel magazine
