Installing Additional Fonts on your Phone Tutorial (Phonto)

Give Away Winners Announced & a Kinfolk Give Away 

looked what arrived in the mail.... Kinfolk Volume Seven.... Yes indeedy....do.

Hello lovelies.... How are you? I hope well.

I'm popping in as promised to announce the give away winners from Sunday's posting.... I also have another iPhone/SmartPhone tutorial.

Have you tried the app Phonto? It's awesome..... It's packed full of fabulous fonts you can use to add text to your photos on your device. I LOVE it. There's a ton of fonts already in the app, but like most font-attics.... I can never have too many at my fingertips.....

So I put together a quick little tutorial..... walking you through a quick & painless way to install fonts from you computer onto your phone or device.

Phonto gives you the instruction for installing fonts using iTunes... But I have another way to share with you.... using dropbox or a cloud storage system. Check out the tutorial for a little Phonto tut and the step by step instructions for adding fonts to your Phonto app.

Sidenote: you will need to know where your fonts are located on your system. This varies from PC to Mac....but a quick google will get you there.... Also be sure to copy not move the fonts to your dropbox folder.

Okie doke.... check out the video below for more details.

iphone shot - type added in Photoshop

Hello friends,

It's not-necessarily Texture Tuesday.... 

What does that mean? Simply share a fav photo...textured, not textured, iphone, camera phone... any fav will do. :)

My photo up top was taken with my iPhone... at 'our' campground...... we like to pretend it's ours....cause we are the only ones there... meandering through the paths, the tall trees..along the lake... it's a doggy playground.... Friday night the temps dropped to -10 C.... the leaves are falling fast.... it will soon be stark.... If you wanna see a little more of our autumn... check out my IG feed here or look for @kimklassen on IG.

Before we begin to link up...here are next week's TT guidelines....

How 'bout the theme.... 'look up' ? So many possiblities....

Share any photo processed with at least one layer of any of my textures....centered around the theme 'look up'.

Okie doke.... let's dive in.

As always, thanks for playing along....

{iPhoneography} Our Week Squared

Hello Lovelies,

Tell me, how was your week?

Mine was fast and fab.....  But as always....everyday... no matter the weather... we walked our daily walks. 4 miles in the afternoon and another 3 in the evening. It's just what we do. If the weather would warm up, Ben and I would swap one of our walks for a bike ride.... But it's been really quite wet and cool this past month. I'm definitely ready for some sun. 

Anyhow, here's my favorite tree on the trail... the tree that started this whole photography thing for me.... The sky was daunting... a storm was rolling in.....  I took a quick pic.... Can you see Ben across from the tree on the right? 

Sophie got a haircut this week... Here she is by one of the ponds they like to dip in..... right now it's nice... but as the weather warms up...it can get a little stinky.... 'sigh'

My favorite section of the trail by far.... a path of trees....  it fills in beautifully in the summer.... Really so peaceful. Ben's the little speck in the center. :)

Another watering hole the pups like to dip in.

I didn't have a lot of time for setting up stills and taking pics with my Nikon this week... but I took a few snaps here and there with my phone..... and experimented with a few fav apps..... I love using down time to process images on my phone..... You know you love your work...when you walk away from it and proceed to do the same thing for fun!! :)

Just a few fav camera pics....

Love this sweet holiday brownie.....

One more.... 

Oh and.....I started this book....I'm really looking forward to diving into it.... I've heard great things.

Let's see...... what else did I do this week, besides walk and work? 

We went to my parents on Monday for dinner.....to celebrate my birthday.... Thank you for all the lovely wishes, by the way. It was a quiet, but really good day. John and I are going out for dinner this evening.... a little belated birthday outing. Oh this morning we went to an auction sale and I snagged another antique typewriter for $10. It needs a little cleaning up... but it's a fab old underwood. I had my photography kids over to work on their projects. That was fun. I caught up with a dear friend...such a blessing. You know a true friend, when no matter how long you are apart, you can pick right back up where you left off... and not miss a beat. And finally.....I had several revelations this week...that seemed to break open a flood of new and exciting ideas.. I mean seriously BIG stuff. Burst.

WOW.... it really was such a FAB week. 

Tell me.... Are you instagramming yet? What was your week like? I'd love to hear about it.

My Life Squared - a Little Instagram Love

I mentioned last Sunday I was loving my iPhone and Instagram...... and I also mentioned I was considering a 365 project. I decided to say YES to the 365. (more on that in a moment).....

I thought it'd be fun to share some of my Instagram photos with you.... from the past few weeks...... and just say I am mad over iphoneography..... As you can see, I have a muse.... Yeppers, Mr. Ben dominates my instagram stream. And Sophie (Ben's 'cousin') makes lots of appearances too. Now and then you may see another family member or just something I love... But Ben is my muse.

'sigh'.... puppy love... he rules my heart.... 'smile'....

Here's the coolest part about iphoneography... the apps!! Oh my goodness, there are all kinds of image processing apps, that you can download, some are free some cost a little... But it's amazing! It literally turns your iPhone into this amazing creative tool. It's like photoshop on your phone. You can create art while waiting in line, sitting on the porch, lying in bed..... wherever you are..... click, click.... pick an app, and play!

If you are not an iPhone user, there are photo apps for Androids....and I also hear Instagram is coming to Androids this spring. :)

It's like journaling your life.... with a click of your iPhone.... Which leads me to the 365. It's so doable with the iPhone... atleast for me.... Why? because...my phone is with me at all times! We are one.... lol.... So it's pretty easy to click a pic or 2 or 3..... easy peasy.... 

One of my sweet readers shared a 365 app, so I am using it to 'journal' my images....it's awesome. Thank you again, Carla...

Here's the link.... since then I have discovered there are several other amazing 365 apps as well. I simply take my pic, and save it in the 365 app, and it pops the image right into the app calendar. I think it'll be so cool to look back at each month and see a calendar full of photos.... So far I have 7 calendar squares of Ben.

Here's a few more.... most are taken down at the lake and around the empty campground. The dogs LOVE it there... It's like there very own amusement park. 'smile'...

So, my friends, are you into the whole iPhone photography thing? Do you have any favorite apps you'd like to share? 

Here's a few of my favs.... instagram (obviously), snapseed, iris, picture show, befunky, picstitch.....

Not on instagram? You can still follow along... Here's a link to my stream.

I will be back this evening with your weekend texture...

I am off to set up the classroom for the Skinny-Mini eCourse. If you are signed up, watch for your classroom invite later today.

Beyond Layers is almost here.....there's still time to get in on the crazy low $52 price... that's a buck a week..... Check it out... I keep receiving emails, Kim, is it possible to get the $52 rate on payday? I'm not great at saying no, so I have decided to leave it open.

Oh and ..... Beyond Layers has a home of its own! So fun! You can check it out here.

Back soon....until then..... here's to a beautiful day.

xo,

p.s. my instagram username is kimklassen. :)
