Well, I guess I’m just in Quick Page mode these days. Last post was “kids room decoration” scrap book quick page and today, surprise – Father’s Day quick page!
Now, not all countries celebrate Father’s Day as such. But, good fathers should be appreciated. They are a rare commodity :) and should you happen to be the lucky duck, happy owner of a good father, you better tell him you like that fact.
Tell him: “I am a happy owner of a good father and I truly appreciate that fact!” (no need to be cheesy with father ;)) He will love it :) you can add “Thank you for making it possible to say that without lying.“
So, what I’m saying is, if you have a good father, let him know.
If you don’t (or didn’t) have a good father, try to be one. (So, what if you are a woman?)
Anyways, let’s get down to business, here is something you might want to download and use to show your father how much you appreciate them:
Free Father’s Day Quick page for download!
Size: 12×12 inches @300dpi (print ready)
File: transparent PNG and PSD (Photoshop layered file) zipped in one ZIP file, 11MB size.
Compatibility: MAC and PC, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP (probably even more software, but I can not test it all)
The recipe (how it’s done):
Photo Frames (9+9 brushes, not for sale!) Photoshop brushes set, bonus set, included in 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET I
Golden Spiral (11+11 brushes, two sizes) Photoshop brushes set free for all GBG members!

Father’s Day (32+32 brushes, two sizes) Photoshop brushes – free for all GBG members!

- A pinch of happiness
- A spoon of joy, mixed with loads of fun :)

And now, ladies and gentleman, something completely different!
This will be short and straight forward.
For today, I prepared a digital scrapbook page for kids.
Actually it is for parents but I thought they’d fit the kids room the best.
This is what it looks like:

So, if you like the image, here is the general idea:
- Download the file (layered Photoshop file and PSD file together in one zip)
- Insert your kids photo into the quick page
- Print it out on your color printer (letter format)
- Frame it and put it on the wall

It is a totally cool decoration for your kids room, it is customized and easy to do, so everyone can do it.
I did this image with:
- Photoshop brushes – Space Stuff – free Photoshop brushes for Platinum GBG members
- Photoshop brushes – Grunge Stars – free Photoshop brushes for all GBG members
- Photoshop brushes – Wedding Photo Frames (+PNG files) which I changed by adding the “when I grow up…” line :)
Photo by Sarah Cates
Of course, this quick page it’s free.
I hope you will like it.
Oh, I forgot… here’s the download link :) :) :) Download Free Space Quick Page (48.99MB)!
Love,
Silvia

Ain’t life grand!?

Dear Fiona, Tammy, Mojca (Irska), Kelly, Heather … dear EVERYONE! God bless you!
I never expected to receive soo many comments as I did for my Shanghai-shoes post.
Honestly, I never thought anyone is reading my posts, or blogs in general, any more. I thought that everyone’s just gone to Facebook!
But nooo.
You know, that day, as I was getting ready to make the Shanghai-shoes post, I figured I’ll just write a little something for myself… you know. Since my hubby doesn’t listen much lately (well, for the last few years, that is) and my cats are less and less responsive, it became totally normal that I speak to my self, talk to my self … Hell, I am even telling jokes to myself. And I laugh at them too! Ha! What do you know. I even laugh now as I am writing this. (Hubby is starring at the TV – speechlessly. Will go over and hit him in the face. I don’t thing he would notice anyway.)
Sigh!
Now, I don’t want to be too harsh on my cats, you know. I mean, what can you expect? Peacco is always kind enough to inform me when he’s ready to make a poo-poo in front of THE hubby’s study room (why does he need it anyway? There’s no TV there, so he is never there too. Will take away this room from him and give to Peacco.) Should I blame Peacco for doing a poo-poo there? Of course not. It’s a normal competition between two males. So, Peacco is showing off a little in front of my hubby’s study room. The problem appeared when hubby decided that it’s payback time and wanted to do the same to Peacco’s favorite chair. I barely talked him out of it. I really don’t think Peacco would get the message.
Ah! Men!
Anyways, I think I should go now as I think I hear Peacco’s call from the upper floor … (yes, that’s where my hubby’s study room is).
So, girls, be patient with your men, no matter if they aren’t listening, at least you get to giggle a bit as they’re frantically looking for socks in the morning, late for work, and you told them, last night, as they watched soccer (football/news/Romance channel … of course I am kidding about the Romance channel) that you’ve put all their socks in the deep freeze.
Ha! They had to be cooled off a bit.
OK. Enough. Let’s get down to business. Here is my latest sale offer.
The Mighty Photo Frames PS Brushes Pack (207)
A package of 207 high resolution Photoshop brushes. Compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.
Content of the pack:
1. Banners and Frames - Photoshop Brushes Set (21)
2. Swirled frames – Photoshop brushes set (18)
3. Wedding Photo Frames (squares) – Photoshop brushes set (25+25+25) + 25 PNGs
4. Circled Memories Photo Frames – Photoshop brushes set (25+25+25) + 25 PNGs
+ Commercial license is included, so you can make the best photo books forever and sell them.
If bought individually the total value is $39.96 – however, in a pack the price is $33.00
But, that’s not all. When you purchase this set you also get the another Special BONUS: Photo Frames Special Edition (2×9)
Check them out in the shop. There is a preview there too.
So, what do you think?
Not now? ‘kay just don’t say I didn’t warn you when, one day (could be very soon), you’ll be needing them because of the creative block on your back and deadline knocking on your door (now, that will be a dreadful moment). Just don’t say I didn’t warn you :)
But the sale will be gone by that time and you’ll have to buy them at the full price. Almost $40.00. Instead of $33.00. And you keep $7 in your pocket.
That’s why sales are so cool.
Because you get stuff cheaper than usual.
The only thing is that, well, sales don’t last long. But then again, what does? (Except for the recession but that’s a whole different subject).
But, ok.. ok. I don’t wanna push you. I am not a pushy person. Oh, no, not me. No, you don’t have to buy this super-dooper Photoshop brushes package
And buy these brushes.
If not these then some other brushes from my shop.
:)
Love ya all!

“Download paper backgrounds.” What a dull heading. I mean, surely, this post contains some pretty cool paper backgrounds for download, but …
… I wanted to name it something else. I wanted to name it: “Some Thoughts on Happiness and “Shanghai-shoes”.
Now, the free paper backgrounds download link is just down below. You will see the “Download Paper Backgrounds” button somewhere near the end of this article. Pretty big button, can’t really miss it. So, if you’d like to skip my funny article, go ahead, just download the paper backgrounds I hope you will enjoy them. For the rest of you who’d like to read this totally cool article, well, read on …
Ok, for those two of you who stayed and are willing to bare with me through this totally cool article – thank you for staying. I should give you something as a reward. Actually, you know what?! I will give you something. Here is the link to another paper backgrounds set and, as a reward for bearing with me, these are yours. This what you get and they don’t. Ha!
What am I doing? Where was I? Ah, the Shanghai-shoes and the precious emotion of happiness. The inspiration came to me as I walked thorough the field of grass in my front yard. I stopped at some point. Looked down at my **Shanghai-shoes (please read the explanation below) and the grass and the flowers. And, for some reason, I just felt happy. I had to take a picture of that. So, in the header you can see the image of happiness. Maybe it was not your first thought when you looked at it, but, well, that’s how I perceive happiness.
And the happiness is the meaning of life. (That’s if you ask me. Let me know if you have a better idea on our purpose here :))
OK. That’s it. I hope I managed to transmit the message of happiness. It was nothing else, just a sunny day, some green grass and a flower. That’s all it took for me to detect happiness somewhere within my chest. Pretty amazing, if you ask me.
Anyways, here is the free paper backgrounds download, I hope you will like them and enjoy them and make some pretty cool stuff with them.

Now, there is one more thing I wanted to share with you.
Due to the huge success of 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET I, I created another MEGA SET and called it, inventively, 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET II.
And, then finally, I bundled these two sets into one HUGE GIGA Photoshop brushes set and called it, well 1600+ Photoshop brushes GIGA SET. So, I figured, if you are into graphic design or scrapbooking, you will want to take a look at this monster (1600+ Photoshop brushes GIGA SET)
OK. Now, that’s really it. I hope you liked the post, the downloads and well talk soon!
Love,
Silvia
P.S.
About the term “Shanghai shoes“
**Please note that the term “Shanghai-shoes” is copyrighted as I came up with it ;). Maybe. Or at least I never heard of Shanghai-shoes before so, in my mind, I came up with it ;)
But you can use that term, ok. Just don’t tell anyone else about it. Let’s make it a secret code of ours “Shanghai-shoes”, have you ever been to Shanghai, by the way? I haven’t. I’d rather go to Norway if you ask me. Not that there is anything wrong with Shanghai, of course. It’s just that I am more of a “Norway” type. OK. So much about the “Shanghai shoes”. Talk soon and – feel the happiness, it sits there in your chest waiting for you to notice it. :)

It happens, from time to time. People ask me: “Why would I buy vector graphics instead of Photoshop brushes. I mean brushes are cheaper”. Legitimate question.
Sometimes, people also ask me: “How can I use vectors that you sell in Photoshop?”
Well, that ‘s alsol a legitimate question. And I am going to provide some answers. Here. And now.
For the first one, regarding the comparison between Photoshop brushes and vectors, vectors have one huge advantage: You can resize them as much as you want and you will not lose a bit of the quality. Not a single bit. So, for instance, say you just like one part of the vector shape and you’d like to include that part into your design. And, furthermore you’d like that part to be particualrly big. And, in addition, you want to make your design print ready (say: at 300dpi). Now, that’s something. And, if you know a bit about Illustrator, you’d like to modify this part of the shape … now, all this is not a problem when you have vectors. Whether it be eps or ai file, both of them can be imported into Photoshop, in any size of the document, at any resolution, these shapes can be resized as much as you want and twist them, and bend them and squeeze them, stretch … put them in the 3D perspective, you name it. It is all possible with vectors.
And finally, you can easily make Photoshop brushes with vectors.
Now, I hope this answers the question of advantages of vectors.
Now, why would I want to get Photoshop brush in this case? – I hear you say.
Well, there are two main reasons:
- Price – Photoshop brushes are cheaper
- Time – when you are in hurry, it is much faster to just load the brush and place it wherever you want and if you buy my brushes, the size will not be an issue to as I tend to provide two different sizes to all my PREMIUM brushes, so that you don’t have to overstretch them and so that the quality is preserved despite the resizing.
Ok. Now, for the second question: How do I load and use vector shapes in Photoshop?
As they say, a picture speaks a hundreds words, so I made a gazillion pictures and placed them into a sequence and what did I get? You guessed - a video. A video that shows how to load and use vector shapes/files in Photoshop.
Tutorial: Placing EPS files into Photoshop from bsilvia on Vimeo.
So, my dear friends I hope this was useful, I hope your questions were answered and, of course, let me know if there is anything else you’d like to learn because I am always looking for a fresh ideas on what to write:))
Love you all,
Silvia

It happened again!
The other day I received a beautiful email! It was from Cherie. She wanted to share with me some of the designs she made with a little help from my Photoshop brushes. And I always love to receive emails like that!
So, naturally I checked it and .. wow! These were good! Did not think twice. I kindly asked Cheri if it would be ok if I made a little blog post about her work and, as you can see, she agreed!
So, ladies and gentleman, I proudly present you
Mother’s Day Greeting Cards by Cherie
So, in case you were wondering about these swirls in the background, Cherie made a good use of Swirls Floral brushes set (42+42) Second Edition!
Apart from Photoshop brushes, this set also contains 42 .png files at 300 dpi, 2500×2500 pix – transparent, so you can easily use them in any photo editing software.
This set is compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.
Anyways, great work Cherrie! Thank you for sharing your designs with us and we are looking out for more, now :))
Love,
Silvia

In this article we will be talking about:
Earth day and growing your own vegetables without pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals (huh?! I know …) ,
There will be one Quick Page Earth Day (Free Download)
A few words about the new Photography technique called TtV
We will NOT talk about the royal wedding (sorry, no royal weddings here)
Yes, it’s Earth Day! And this year we are celebrating it by planting and growing our own vegetables in our own garden. The permaculture way! (read all about permaculture on wikipedia)
Why? Well, everyone knows that food prices are going up. No matter where you live – the food is getting more and more expensive every day. In addition, growing food in the old fashioned, industrial way, is not the way to the healthy snack. Pesticides and chemical fertilizers are heavily used in conventional industrial food production, so that is one more reason to start growing your own food if you have a garden. Even if you don’t have your own garden, there are ways to grow your own food (see: Organopónicos )
So, we decided to grow our own food without any chemicals in the process. No. We are going the permaculture, Ruth Stout “no-work”, “no-dig” gardening way :) All about Ruth Stout you can view in this nice little video here
Now, I assume you were a bit surprised to read about the home food production on graphics-illustrations.com site, but it’s just that I thought it’s important. That’s it.
Now, the topic. Free quick page :)
You can see what the quick page looks like on the header image. Just add your own photos and that’s it. Dimensions are 12×12 inches @300 dpi and it is a PSD (Photoshop layered file). You can download it here. It’s about 40MB, so please be patient while downloading. On the other hand, you will get a high quality printout out if it.
And now about this totally cool photographic technique called TtV.
Look at the images below. To get this effect there was no Photoshopping whatsoever. These photos are just made with the TtV technique – Through the Viewfinder. Basically I pointed a 60 years old 6×6 (medium format) analog camera at the objects I was photographing, and then, with my Canon 5D I took the shoot of this old cameras viewfinder.
(Sadly, I didn’t use the paper shade as it is shown on the link above, but, in future, I will. It’s really hard to shoot without the shade.)
And I just love the retro look of these photos. I hope you like them too :)

More of my TtV photos can be found @Flickr
And that’s it. I hope you enjoyed this article.
Have a nice day and love our mother Earth :)

oh, ps: For the decorations in the Quick Page I used Wedding Photo Frames (squares) Photoshop brushes set (25+25+25) + 25 PNGs – Photoshop brushes for commercial use.
