So we all know Picnik is closing soon (sad face š ). Hands up who used this every now and then? I did! I loved the ease of making a collage. Now what are we going to do??
I decided to do a little research and found these sites below. I have only had a quick fiddle with them, so can’t say I am an expert at them at the moment.
1.Ā PicMonkey – probably THE best and closest match. Collage feature coming soon.
Ā 2.Ā FotoFlexerĀ – a free online tool.
3.Ā PixlrĀ – great effects and editing capabilities. Almost like Photoshop.
4.Ā AviaryĀ – a free online tool with great effects.
5.Ā BeFunkyĀ – a free online too.
6.Ā PhotovisiĀ – will do collages and is free.
7. Then of course you can download PicasaĀ to your computer which has editing effects.
8. Or Picnik had integrated it’s effects with Google+. You’ll have to sign up for a Google+ accountĀ (go to your photos and click Creative Kit). You can alter a photo and add text, but there is no option for collages or frames here yet.
So at the moment, I feel like I might be using multiple sites to create the one look I am after, until someone tells me there is a better option!
Let me know if you’ve found anything else.
PS. With the closing of Picnik also comes the closing of Google Friend Connect (for non-blogspot blogs ie. WordPress blogs), so the only way to follow me now is via my subscribe buttons on the top right. If you’re a non-blogspot blog have you got your subscribe buttons in place? Have you alerted your readers?

Cruise says thank you for all the birthday messages yesterday. He read them all with a smile on his face. We flipped between the blog, twitter and facebook to read them all. He had a great day! Now we’re gearing up for the party this weekend.
Today I’m off to visit my friend Emma, then return to this computer where I have a hundred jobs booked for The Media Maid. Busy times! Pulling in the staff to help. Love it.
Have a great day! X
