Testing Textures

I recently have been inspired by a friend's blog, Mrs. Murdock.

 (you can read here)

She shoots with a Nikon, and although I am partial to Canons, 

she produces some great photos.  I especially like when she

applies textures to them.

(see here)

So, after coveting after her look, I decided to venture out of my comfort zone.

I watched the tutorial at Kim Klassen's, downloaded some free textures

and made an attempt to make my pictures as vintage as Mrs. Murdock's. :)

It was fun, and I can see myself getting addicted to it!

Thanks for the inspiration, Mrs. Murdock! :)
