It’s Summer time and I know how hard it can be to sit in front of the screen when there’s such a beautiful weather outside.
:)
I know! So, I extended the competition deadline till 20th of August!
However, many of you are having fun with Photoshop brushes, making great graphics! And when you submit these graphics to our competition – things get even better!
So, here are the latest four competition submissions:
Sweet floral frame from Mojca using Floral Shapes Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes) and Hawaiian Flowers Digital Stamps
Cute graphic from Carolyn (she says “I’m not a pro”, but this looks great) using Swirled Trees Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes) and Birds Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes)
Another adorable graphic from Carolyn (she is a pro) using Paisley Designs Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes) and Floral Shapes Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes)
Fourth newest submission is great graphic from Christina created using Swirled Trees Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes) and Paisley Designs Digital Stamps (Photoshop brushes)
Thank you girls, all submissions are really great and unique! You are welcome to leave your web links too :)

Gang,
The time has come! Our Graphics-Illustrations.Com Christmas Graphics Competition is over. We had a tough job selecting the best graphic because all of them were great!
Anyways, as we know – there can be only one so, here it is:
The winner is Lisa Palmer Gupton with her Christmas Card
Lisa sent me complete card which is folded and double sided. It took a lot of work to do something like that and we appreciate it.
Here’s the rest of the card, back and front:
Thank you Lisa Palmer Gupton for your great work, I think that our Facebook community will agree that your work deserves be the winning one. Please contact us at info(at)graphics-illustrations.com to collect your prize: Custom made video photo album.
For the rest of you guys, thank you so much for submitting your designs, they were all great and all of them will be displayed in our little Christmas Graphics Flash Gallery.
And one more note, some of the contestants did not include any of my brushes into their work. Since that was one of two conditions for the participation we could not include these submissions. It would not be fair towards the rest of you who stuck to the rules.
Thank you all for participation, it was fun, we discovered some real talents and i think we won’t have to wait long before having another competition :)
Have fun!
Yours,
Silvia

Gang,
Believe it or not, we just got our first Graphics-Illustrations.Com Competition Sponsor!
Her name is Katie Cotton (Katie Cotton blog) and she creates paper makup stamps and here is the Paper Makup Stamps Blog ->
So, I recommend you visit her site and find out more about Katie and her business (I must say I was impressed.)
Katie kindly offered to give away four Stamp Sets from her shop:
1. SWIRLIE TREE – BARE RUBBER
2. SWIRLIE BUDS – BARE RUBBER
3. PANDA HUGS – BARE RUBBER
4. NATURE’S SONG, BARE RUBBER
I think these prizes are great examples of creative Photoshop Brushes usage. You will see that some of them are made with a little help of my Photoshop brushes and I’m really really, happy about it (blink-blink :)).
So, thank you Katie, once again for your contribution. You are really kind and I am so happy to have you as a sponsor in our competition.
Now we have a total of 7 prizes to give away, which means that at least 7 of participants will be the winners in our competition.
For the rest of you, there is still enough time.
Competition ends on 12th of July, so you have plenty of time to create a blog header using these templates and send them over to my email (find it here) or post it to Graphics-Illustrations.Com Facebook Page.
Here are the headers (please make sure not to resize them):

Hugs,

Gang,
Here is an update on the competition that was announced in my previous post.
The prizes. Budget has been collected, decisions have been reached.
And the prizes for the Graphics-Illustrations.Com 2009 Competition are:
1st Place:
Graphics-Illustrations.Com T-Shirt + One PREMIUM Photoshop Brushes set (up to $9.99)
2nd Place:
Graphics-Illustrations.Com Grocery Tote Bag + One PREMIUM Background Pack (up to $3.99)
3rd Place:
Graphics-Illustrations.Com Mug + Surprise gift from Graphics-Illustrations.Com
I know it ain’t much. But what can I say?! I give what I can afford. I still don’t have my own Mac you know. (Using the sisters one when she’s asleep ;.) wiping off the fingerprints in the morning… hehe, Just kidding of course :)
So, anyways, if you decide to do some work and send it over – one of these prizes could be yours. It should be easy. I don’t expect more than three persons to compete anyway :-)
I know I’d go for it. At least to be able to tell my friends, later on: “Hey, look what I’ve got on the graphic design competition!”
So, if you’re up to it – here’s the details on on the Graphics-Illustraions 2009 ompetition ->
Also, one other thing.
The Birthday.
Yes, my dear friends and visitors, this summer, Graphics-Illustrations.Com is celebrating 2 years since it started. The success of this blog is, well, I didn’t expect much anyway, and I must thank you all for your help and support. The mission and the goal of my blog was to offer interesting articles and a bunch of free downloads for graphic designers, scrapbookers, professionals and enthusiasts alike. The idea was to make your life easier with some free and some HiQuality Photoshop brushes, backgrounds, illustrations, etc…
So, after two years, I think this little blog of mine did well. Of course, there is always a room for improvement and, as always, we all need to work on our selves and improve in every aspect of life at all times.
Wise man said: Improving yourself is like paddling against the river’s current, you need to paddle hard to make a progress and if you stop paddling you’ll find yourself going backward before you know it. (I’m not sure if it went exactly like this, but that was, more or less the message. It was about paddling … I know that for sure :)
OK. Guys, that’s it for now, have a great one and don’t forget to have fun creating! If you do that your creation will look good – guaranteed :)
While creating, don’t think about what will others will think about your creation, just have fun and as long as you are having fun, you’ll know you’re on the right path.
Hugs,
Silvia
P.S.
There goes another idea. If you work in a company that would maybe consider to offer some prizes for the Graphics-Illustrations.Com Competition … naaah … I didn’t think so …
