This is a special post-processing photo challenge. Think Midsummer Nights Dream, Fairytales, Head in the Clouds, Flying Kites, Bubble Blowing, and Balloons! Not sure how to achieve a dreamy, fairytale-like look in post-processing? Check out a few of our tutorials here, here, and here. To make this challenge a little more fun, we have a gift for you…click here to download a FREE sample pack of our photo veils and textures!
Now grab those cameras, get creative, and most of all…have fun! And remember to link-up your photos below for an extra entry in our Birthday Celebration Giveaway!

Photo Specs: 50mm | F 1.4 | 1/125 sec | ISO 200
To be eligible for the extra entry in our first Birthday Celebration Giveaway, just follow these simple steps:
- Your photo must be your interpretation of the theme, “A Bit of Whimsy” Your photo does not need to have a person in it.
- You must link directly to your blog post, not your blog’s home page. Are you uploading from FLICKR? Click here for a how-to on how to enter your photo. Facebook photos don’t play nice with our link-up tool, so we will no longer accept photos linked-up from Facebook. We apologize for any inconvenience.
- Add our button to your post (our button is located towards the bottom of our sidebar to the left).
- Your photo must not contain any nudity (even sweet little baby bums!)
This link-up will be open Tuesday, June 28th through Friday, July 1st at 11:59pm (MST).
If you’re not sure how our link-ups work, see our FAQ page.

Thank you for the freebies! I love them!
I can’t get the link to go to the freebies.. nothing is happening
help?
Hi Jennifer, it should pop up a window where you can save the zip file. If your browser has a pop-up blocker, that might be preventing it from opening. See if that works! Let me know if you still have trouble.
Hey Misti,
I linked my photo, and it says that it is in the collection, but it is not showing up on your site? I clicked the “trouble adding link-up” and it is on that page, just not this one?
