Gang,
I just can not find the words to tell you how much I appreciate your feedback on our latest GBG eZine.
I am receiving so many “Thank you” emails from you guys, I’m overwhelmed with emotions!
This is one more proof how giving is receiving! That’s something my parents tried to teach meĀ when I was still a kid but I was to young to understand.
Now I understand.
By giving you these presents in my latest eZine, I received so many positive emotions and such a nice feedback from you guys … it is something one can not measure in dollars or anything material.
So, I owe you A BIG THANK YOU!
And what else can I say?
Thank you for sticking with me and GBG for so long. I wish I could answer to each and every one of you personally but it’s just impossible! So, I wanted to thank you this way and
I WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
May all your dreams and wishes come true and I hope we will stick together in GBG for many years to come.
I love you all, and even if it is hard to survive in these tough days of recession, your kind and warm words just make everything else irrelevant. And I love you for that.
Silvia and GBG
P.S.
Also, I am proud to say that I made this little Christmas Card with out latest On-Line Designer Application and if you liked it too, feel free to make one Christmas Card yourself right here ->

Ladies and gentleman,
my dear friends, visitors, designers, scrapbookers, photographers, Photoshop enthusiasts, GBG members …
I am very, very excited at this very moment :))
You see, I wanted to have a video trailer for 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET for a long time. Mainly, because video is one of my passions. I just love to see a good looking videos, just as much as I enjoy good photography or good graphic design.
Still, creating a good video trailer, even if it is short one, like minute or so, takes a long time. Much longer than you probably think. And videography it is a very demanding discipline. Especially if you are not that good with motion graphics software like Adobe After Effects or similar. It’s not just that. To make video like the the one in this post, you need to to be good in some vector editing software (like CorelDRAW! or Illustrator or Inkscape). And, you must be good in Photoshop or similar image editing software. Years of experience will help and finally, you need to have a lot of time, because if it is not your core business, it will take you longer to do the video editing.
But, I am a lucky person! I am lucky for having some great friends in my life and one of them is called Igor (whatever you might think of that name, Igor has nothing to do with Russia or Russian mafia). Despite of the global perception, not all persons called Igor are necessarily a members of Russian mafia. Some of them are really nice people and a very very talented videographers! And my friend Igor is one of them.
He is not just a good friend, talented videographer, oh no! He is also talented musician (not that we have similar music taste, but still, he is gifted when it comes to guitar) and a very good designer. So, what can I say. We put our heads together, I came up with wordings and a basic concept he added some of his own ideas and turned it all into reality!
Then it was only a matter of time before this awesome video trailer for my flagship product, 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET is finished.
And, here it is! (Please allow 15 seconds for video to load.)
I love this video! I hope that, at least, you will like it too! Actually, I loved it so much that we agreed to make another offer on Graphics-Illustrations.Com and that’s, you guessed – VIDEO!
So, if you have a product or service that you’d like to promote with a video like this one (You can post it on Facebook, YouTube, your blog, web site, put it on a DVD or even broadcast it on TV!), just let me know!
OK. That’s it for now. Take closer look at 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET, I am sure you will love it too! And if you are a true Scrapbooking, Photography or graphic design lover, don’t miss the latest, December 2010 GBG eZine edition! You will not be sorry! I can guarantee that! To get the latest GBG eZine edition you need to be a GBG member. GBG Members get loads of free Photoshop brushes and other free stuff for graphic designers, photographers and scrapbookers! Don’t miss it!
Love you all!
Enjoy! This is the best time of the year!!!
Silvia

Gang!
Being a huge animal lover I try to help animal shelters and associations for animal protection as much as I can. Yesterday, I had a chance to help TarraLand, Rabbit and hare Sanctuary, Shelter & Rescue! (Association Mrkvica).
They have a sanctuary for rabbits and hares, and the location it is kept as a secret because it is on open, the animals are not in cages, they are playing in open and, since they can not afford a 24 hour security guard, they believe it’s better if the location is not widely known.
Anyways, they asked me if I could design some fridge magnets using the photos they sent me. Of course I agreed.
Naturally, I engaged some of my super powers and here is what came out as a result of a synergy between man, machine and Photoshop brushes :)


Feel free to try some of the Photoshop brushes in our Graphical Playground On-Line application! You could, for instance, play around and make your own designs! Should you like any of the designs you make (and how could you not??), you could even send it to yourself or someone else by email. Ok. Enough talk. Time to play!
Please be patient after clicking on “Submit” button. It might take while before the email is sent.
