Vintage flair baby!

I found THIS SITE that turns a modern pic into a vintage treasure with just the click of a button! (there's a button in the top right that will change the language from Japanese to English, which should be helpful, right?)

Here's the modern picture I used of Oby and I at our first apartment in the snow, when I was pregnant:



And here's the picture transformed to look 100 years old:


It was already a special picture to me, it was just a fun memory. But the aging process somehow makes it more of a keepsake....

This was so easy, I just had to play with a few more pix....


Dock in Belize when I was on a cruise

(the modern boats take away from the old-time feel)



Bagpiper at Kip & Aly's wedding




Logan LDS Temple where we were married


Wedding kiss and boquet
First dance

My nephew Jake


(I think this is my favorite one)

So I'm thinking pictures from our family spook alley will look extra spooky with this treatment. I'm excited to try it out!

Cute, fun, AND easy.... You should give it a whirl! GO HERE to play with your own pix!

I love the places that let you do the special effects on pictures. I use photobucket all the time to do cool stuff. The picture of Jake as WONDERFUl and I loved the picture of the Logan temple. Very nice!
