Default How is this done

This is not my photograph. This photograph is property of This Little Blog of Mine, Nellie Mae. I just admire the work and want to know how to add the text into the photo and blend it so beautifully. I imagine that it's done in photoshop but can anyone point me to a tutorial for this? Thanks.

1: this should be in the Post Processing section

2: The image itself is just a gradient map or some sort of "vintage" action. Nothing special. Making the border isnt any more complicated than defining a selection and cutting out the rest the text is just text. The thing is, its not so much technique as it is execution.

The text is just text. Possibly with opacity adjustments.

Most likely done in Photoshop. Looks like the temperature (or possibly Vibrance) of the photo was increased and a couple of different fonts used in text layers in Photoshop. Cute photo!

You can do this easily at Picnik - Photo editing the easy way, online in your browser It looks like she used cross process, then added a curved border and some fancy text. picnik is very easy to use and has a lot of cool effects as well as some advanced stuff too!
