Here is a little something for scrap-bookers, but also web designers graphic designers and DTP designers.
Dressing up images into a nice, new, shiny, perfect-fit clothes enhances the image and delivers more information to the audience. For that purpose, today, I prepared a special Photoshop brushes set – Month by Month.
Month by month Photo masks Photoshop brushes are easy to use:
- Open your photo in Photoshop,
- Open Month by month Photoshop brushes and select the one you like the most
- Apply this brush as a mask and give your old image a brand new clothes (and mark the month too)!

For instance, this image above (see P.S. for more info). Never looked bad. But still, I like it much better now after applying photo mask (this one is also from Month by month Photoshop brushes set).
It is not just a scrapbooking brush (digital stamp). Month by Month is a perfect choice for designers when preparing an editorial and want to give images the “clothes” that will make them shine. That’s what these brushes do.
Ladies and gentleman:

Here is a little sample on how to use these brushes. This is from the party that a friend of mine organized to mark a start-up of her web design company (way to go, Irina!). She decided to start her own business and quit her nine to five job. Her name is Irina and the name of her company is “Sapun”.
As you can see, photo was taken year ago and her brand new business is alive and well. It was a risk worth taking. “He who dares wins”, as Del Trotter used to say :)
OK, guys. That’s it for now, I hope you will like the new brushes!
Speak soon (tomorrow),

I remember, a very long time ago (it was still 20th century :)) I collected photos of my family members: grandfather, grandmother, mother, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins … and got them scanned in a printing studio (no digital cameras at that time of course and to buy flatbed scanner you had to be seriously rich). I wanted to create a calendar as a Christmas gift to all members of my family.
So, in CorelDRAW! I made 12 pages calendar, one page each month. And I still remember, today, how tough it was to create months and how many times I had to check and re-check the weekdays and numbers and holidays and birthdays (each family member had their birthday especially marked on that calendar).
It takes time to verify and make sure that all 365 dates are under the correct weekday. It took me a week, at that time, to finish the calendar.
But it was the best Christmas gift I could have given to them. Everyone just loved it! Some kept that calendar for years after that Christmas and everyone still remembers how, back then in ninety something, they got this custom calendar with images and birthdays of our family members.
Today, I am a pro. I made so many calendars since then that I lost the count. Anyway, that one is still remembered and it shows how custom made gifts will always have a special place in our memories.
Even if you are just starting with Photoshop and you don’t know, if just don’t have the time to make a calendar in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW! you can use your own photos, add your personal touch and make beautiful calendars with a little help of the brand new, (bsilvia brand of quality! :) ):
