InstaTop Ten by Kimberly @ A Night Owl Blog

Hi Songbirds and Buttons readers! I’m Kimberly from A Night Owl and I {heart} Instagram. It’s by far my app of choice. I love to see all the fun, beauty, and creativeness that others are able to capture in pictures. It’s inspirational. I also love to share things that are important to me and what inspires me.

This year I’ve been having fun participating in the #photoaday challenge by @fatmumslim. If you want to see my pictures so far, you can access my #photoaday album HERE. And if you participate and do recap posts at the end of the month, we have a linky for that! The #PhotoadayRecap Party is the place to be. Also, if you’re on IG, come find and follow me at @anightowlblog…I always follow back!

Ok enough of the rambling! I’m asked from time to time what my favorite apps are to edit or create photos I post on Instagram. And I always love to share! I only use my iPhone for pictures, but there are many apps that I love to use for filters, frames, and labels. Here are my Top Ten faves (note: these are all links for the iPhone because that is the phone that I have; however, there are many similar apps for Android):

PicFrame
There are many frame apps out there, this is the one that I use. You can choose from many collage frames sizes and styles, and with the add-on, add labels to your photos.

Phoster
Make a cool poster out of your photos! Fun options!

Labelbox
Add cute labels and banners to your photos.

Masking Tape
You can washi “tape” your pictures onto frames with TONS of different and fun options!

Pic Collage
Make a free form collage with different shaped and sized photos! Change backgrounds, add text.

Montage
Crop your photos into fun shapes!

Halftone
Turn your photos into a comic book sketch!

Phonto
Add text to images. Send a message!

LemeLeme
Share your photos with others, change them up with fun filters and effects.

Pocketbooth
It’s a photo booth in your “pocket”! You can use this in combo with Pic Collage for a fun photo compilation!

I hope that helps! And I hope you love the list, download some new apps, and continue to create! Also, I’m continually inspired by new Instagram friends. So if you’re new to IG or want to make new friends, come check out our Instagram Blog Hop on Tuesdays!
