This is the original picture my sister took.
I first edited it in Picasa 3 by adding a colored tint and preserving a little of the color. (this may not make sense unless you have the program, but, hey, it's free!) Then I added a glow effect and adjusted the setting until it reminded me of an old picture.
I could have stopped there, but I remembered this awesome website that has free textures, so I headed over there and grabbed a couple. I was going to look for a winter-y looking one, but I got distracted with all the cool "grunges". I used Paint.net to open the picture and the texture. I copied the texture and pasted it in another layer on the picture. Then I changed the blending mode and the opacity.

This is the second texture with two examples of blending modes.
I think I'm going to enjoy all the textures Shadowhouse creates. They look so good!
