A sad goodbye (kind of)

RIP Picknik. You were a lovely editing site and I enjoyed many wasted hours creating blog headers on you!


In memorium I created the one above using the software and I'm liking it! Plus I do love my Pezzy quilt :)


If you haven't tried it already may I suggest you go and visit PicMonkey. It doesn't yet create collages but it will, and oh my gosh it is the nicest looking picture editing site I've ever seen. So cool. There's lots of wonderful things you can do to your photos and there's more to come.
They also have the best humour and little quips on the site! Fun and stylish, love it! Super easy and user friendly.

Honestly it's BETTER than Picnik in my humble opinion and who doesn't love a monkey??

More on typewriters tomorrow :) I'm off to monkey around! (oh dear)

Linking up to Rebecca who just has the best Bucket List I've ever seen, although I do think she should add visiting me!

Yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's format is much easier to use and the program itself run SO much faster than picnik did. =) I miss the collages though.

Your header looks great! I've just started using Picmonkey too - and I completely agree with your comments!

Please remind me to have a play on this- I might need some help, though, do you do tutoring for banners? yours looks so good!

Jess said...

Love your new header! Ive been wanting to update mine so I might have to check out picmonkey, sounds great.

Sana Saroti said...

Now, I'm curious ;-)
I only used picknic for the rounded corners and picasa for everything else and conveniently enough picasa has just added that to their menu, but PicMonkey is probably more entertaining from what it sounds like ;-)

felicity said...

TOTALLY agree about PicMonkey, including the monkey. Super user-friendly and very modern in its look.

Annabella said...

I see you got over the grief of picnik pretty quickly Lucy! Love the pezzy quilt and agree about Rebecca`s bucket list although I`ll pass on the tattoo!

Jennifer said...

That's good to know... I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Thanks!

I love the idea of that monkey making your banners. The new one is fab. The little button looks like it's in 3D!

Strawberry Patch said...

Love your header, I have never made one, will have to give that monkey a whirl!

Should I give it a go? I just edit in paint - my kids think I am neolithic!
