I use two different textures and layered them over the picture to give it an effect. Do you have photoshop and know how to add them to your pictures?

ok try this
open any picture you that you would like to add a texture to in photoshop
then open a texture say this one
[link]
(or search textures on deviant art and find one you like)
now click on the picture to get the largest view of it.
then right on it and select copy. then go back to photoshop and click on the picture you opened. now hold down the ctrl key and v at the same time. the texture should show up in another layer over your picture.
now strech the texture to the same size as your picture (right click on the texture select free transform go to the edges of the texture and click hold down on the little squares and drag to the edges of your picture. now it is the same size and covering your picture where you can't see it. now go over to where the layers are and you'll see a little drop down box that should say normal right now. click on it and chose the one that says multiply. this will overlay your picture and give it a texture. you can play with the opacity (right of the normal box)if it is to dark or one of the other options for different effects. try it out and let me know if you have questions.
