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

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 me 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 ->

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:

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! :) ):

Hi, this is not Silvia speaking.
I’m Meoki.
Black&White, up-side-down cat holding “Special Offers” board, look here, a little bit up on the right side ->
Silvia decided that she needs some rest (and believe me – she does) and asked me if I could do the post and introduce brand new Photoshop brushes she created for her GBG Platinum Members.
“Sure“, I said. As if I had anything else to do except holding that “Special Offers” board all day long (I go away at night but sssshhh! Don’t tel her.)
“Why did you put me up-side-down, by the way?” I asked her. “It’s a good thing that I am just a cartoon, otherwise all my blood would end up in my head. Not good …“
“Because” she said, “I red somewhere, that people will notice you more easily that way.“
“Peeh!”
Anyways, she be gone (sends “hugs and kisses everyone”), I’m here, so bear with me (you could beer with me as well. If you click on the “Special Offers” board and get yourself some nice discounted brushes, vectors, etc … :))
Anyways, it’s Tuesday, and Silvia wanted to dedicate every Tuesday to her GBG Platinum members, by giving them a little …. well … gift! So, this Tuesday, she prepared
Swirled Squares Design Elements (Photoshop brushes, or Digital stamps as some call it)
Swirled Squares consists of 12 brushes in two sizes (as usual to prevent overstretching and keep the quality top-notch) and two design styles: clean and grungy.

Ladies and gentleman, let me present you
Wedding Scrapbook Quick Page
This one is free and I hope you will like it!
Now, since I am not much of a wedding photographer Ms. Melissa Papaj (who is a wedding photographer professional) was kind enough to provide some really cool wedding photos she made. I used her photo in this Scrapbook Quick Page preview.
So, thank you Melissa! Great work!
Melissa is not just a wedding photographer, she also photographs children, architecture, animals… and she does it really good. Here is what she said about herself:
PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY PASSION! I became a photographer because I have a passion for finding beauty in everything and photography has allowed me to capture the beauty for longer than just a moment. I especially enjoy weddings and portraiture photography because I am very personable and I LOVE making people look their best! I love going to a wedding and blending in effortlessly with the bride, groom, and entire family while capturing the traditions, surprises and all of the little details that weddings bring. I can actually say that as a photographer, I love my job each and every day!
Check out her website for more beautiful photos!
Digital scrapbook quick page freebie: Download it here NOW :)
All files are in ZIP archive:
- PSD – Photoshop Layered File
- transparent PNG
Both files are 12×12 inches at 300dpi – print ready

People get married!
I bet you are stunned now :)
But, there is another thing going on here. While we are at it, we take pictures, and on the top of it – we (more often then not) make wedding albums!
We all want our wedding albums to look good. And while I was preparing to make one for a friend of mine, I figured I need to decorate the border around the photo. Actually, I needed to frame the photo in the wedding album.
So, I made several frames, few of them, just for my personal use. And then I realized – BANG! Now, that’s something others might be interested in having too! Decorate a photo, add a frame, c’mon, it’s basics of wedding albums (and photo albums after all).
You guessed the rest of the story. I ended up by making 25 wedding photo frames! In order to preserve the quality and my long ago set standards, all of them are initially made in vectors and then transferred to Photoshop brushes and PNG files.
So, ladies and gentleman, my dear visitors, if you would like to make wedding photo album yourself, for your own, or your friends, brothers, sisters wedding or for your clients (if you are a photographer or graphic designer), or if you’d like to make a wedding photo album for re-sale, there you go – a perfect time saver with commercial license included.
Let me present you:
Wedding Photo Frames (squares) Photoshop brushes (digital stamps) and transparent PNG files!
About the set:
- 25 wedding photo frames in three sizes for 2,5×2,5 – 3,5×3,5 – 4,5×4,5 inches photos
- 25 transparent PNG files for 4,5×4,5 inches photo
- Compatible with Adobe Photoshop (ver. 7.0 up to CS5), Photoshop Elements, PaintShopPro, Paint.NET and more…
- Commercial use OK!
Photo frames are created in “grungy” style, hearts, swirls, flowers and appropriate wordings around the frames: “Love”, “Love is the Foundation”, “for Time and all Eternity”, “perfect love”, “Forever Begins Today”, “a beautiful moment”, “our love will not die” and more… Those cute picture frames are ideal for wedding photo albums and wedding digiscrap!

Yes, as always, I prepared a a FREE lite edition of Wedding Photo Frames digital stamps/Photoshop brushes set (scrapbook stamp freebies): there are 3 brushes in a set. These are smaller size than the ones in the PREMIUM package, but still good enough for on-line wedding albums.

Hello, and hello again!
Did you know that one of the simplest tricks to make your photo or design stand out is to wrap it up with a nicely decorated border?
Surely you did.
Scrapbookers – your photos, graphic designers – your plaques, certificates, price lists, wedding invitations … and much, much more. Amateurs, enthusiasts and professionals alike use borders for countless applications. Of course, let’s not forget about web designers too :)
So, I thought, here is a great idea for another product in my little Photoshop brushes factory. It took me a while – a few nights actually, until I was completely happy with them all and – voila!
For you only:
Borders – Photoshop Brushes set
As usual, these are also available in two editions:
1. Free LITE Edition that contains 4 brushes:

KUBOTA SLOPPY BORDERS
Get over 125 Kubota Sloppy Borders in this fantastic border Pak.
From elegant thin borders, to eye-catching medium borders, to heavy borders for a bold statement, this Pak adds the finishing touch to your tweaks.
KUBOTA SLOPPY BORDERS have always been a favorite way to present images in the old days of film. But with digital, this cool retro look is much more difficult to achieve. Scaleable, snap them on inside or outside your image, and even change the border color to fit your image!
To create the Sloppy Borders, Kevin Kubota and Craig Strong, (of Strong Photography and Lensbaby, LLC) went into the darkroom and individually printed the borders, using a variety of filed out negative carriers (the traditional way). Then, they were scanned at high resolution, and digitally prepared for overlay on any image.
Excellent for online presentations or slide shows, this is the finishing touch Pak that will set your images apart from the rest.
