Celebrate our little blue planet today with our brand new ecologically awesome Earth Day Stickers!
Besides the leafy branches, earth, and recycling sign you see before you, we’ve got green housing, green energy, green architecture and green transport Stickers to choose from too. So enjoy making your environmentally sustainable, paper-free greetings today, and we all wish everyone a happy and natural Earth Day!
It’s that time of year again, simultaneously the beginning of the guacamole season and the official end of the holidays: the Sunday when all Americans gather together for buffalo wings, nachos, and FedEx ads.
The championship game of the sport Americans peculiarly refer to as “football” (when in reality it’s closer to rugby), about a hundred million people watch the “Big Game” every year, which even if it isn’t as many visits Picnik gets in a year, is still a lot of gridiron fans. So as a service to all you hundred million devotees of the game, we have a brand new collection of Shapes for you to adorn your Sunday parties with: helmets, jerseys and, of course beer.
We would also like to announce the other big release today for Premium Picnikers: Gritty! Sort of like Orton-ish’s worst enemy, Gritty is designed to make you look real, tough, legit, right there, stepped up, and not taking nuthin from nobody. Like, don’t mess with me, I’m Gritty.
We’re seeing pink here at Picnik! A hand-picked collection of Valentine’s Day Shapes, Stamps, Kisses and Candy is up! Plus two sets of over 20 brand new Valentines Day Fancy Collages! Now, we appreciate getting a Snoopy Valentine from a box of 36 as much as the next person, but go beyond grade 3 with Picnik’s power of personalization! Plus, they go great with a box of chocolates!
Happy New Year, Picnikers! Now that it’s about 2pm on the Pacific Coast, most of you should have recovered from last night’s revelries and be ready to start Picniking all those photos you took. Well, let us help make even the tamest soirée look like your own private Times Square (even if Ryan Seacrest couldn’t make it) with our new New Years shapes!

Our friends at Flickr have a timely reminder that it’s not too late to send holiday cards this year!
Especially those of you who, like us, are stuck in the snow-bound Pacific Northwest region and haven’t been able to find their cars let alone go downtown for last-minute shopping (even if the roads were open, which they’re not), using Picnik to “holiday-up” your own photographs to send to family and friends (see the Flickr examples above) is quick, easy, guaranteed on time, and requires absolutely zero winter driving skills.
An excellent place to start is in our new Premium collection of Fancy Collages from the talented people at Plain Digital Wrapper. And don’t forget to light a menorah candle and spin a dreidel with our new Hanukkah shapes!

Brenda, our Community Liaison in Charge of Flickr Operations and Antipodean Branch Office Manager, has announced the December Flickr Picnikers Contest topic: Holidays Around the World! This month is special because, as she says, the photos need to be of “recognizable or unique landmarks in your part of the world,” but with a Christmas twist! We want to see where you’ll be celebrating the holidays this year, either in reality or in spirit.
Plus, follow the instructions, and your photo will be featured on the map Brenda put together, and on the one below! As always, the winner will receive a whole free year Picnik Premium, and the two runners up free 3-month subscriptions of Picnik Premium.
We want to encourage all our users to take part in this contest to really get a sense of where everyone is. So we’d like to encourage all our users who haven’t yet to create a Flickr account, join the Flickr Picnikers group, and take part in the contest!
Also, we’d like to congratulate the winners of last month’s contest, “Picnik Yourself”, with a two way tie for first place:
 |
 |
| Goldscale’s “i live for that look” | konabluee’s “Watch the World Go By” |
And in 2nd and 3rd place:

| nahomie123’s “Day 23″ | jennwyers’ “DSC05397″ |
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! For those of you who have been curious about all the turkeys and pilgrim hats, pies and cornucopias in our Shapes section, today is the day where the entirety of the US (except the poor grocers) takes the day off and to celebrate the bounty of the New World, stuff themselves with turkey dinners and pie. And then tomorrow, the day after Thanksgiving, we take another day off, and go shopping!
That’s right, the Friday after Thanksgiving is lately becoming commonly known as “Black Friday”, and not because of the mall traffic: the Christmas shopping season is when most retailers finally go in the black. In these trying economic times, of course, consumers are looking for smart, intelligent, perhaps even environmentally friendly, possibly even free alternatives for the usual holiday giving options.
If you feel like this describes you, Team Picnik Members will be downtown Seattle tomorrow handing out free Picnik Premium Samples! Look for us around 4th and Pine in among the crowd gathering to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree and Macy’s star!
We’ve launched a wildly popular Eye Color Tool in Touch Ups, making it easier than ever before to get the eye color you’ve always deserved, and a color picker to go where nature never intended!
Also, now in Shapes: Have you noticed the increasing crispness to the air? Southern Hemispherers, has playing Beach Rugby given you a taste for tinsel? Christmas Shapes are back! Which means Santa Hats are again available for dogs, ducks, and Flickr avatars! Plus stickers, wreathes, stockings and snowflakes, with more on the way!
Finally, there’s a new Frame: Postage Stamp! Just in time for those holiday e-cards, turn your photo into a stamp and save the 42¢.
