Free PSD file – Trees & Earth
I’m sure you love trees.
I love them too. This year I planted lot’s of trees in my backyard: lime-tree, bearberry (around 12), hornbeam (many), black pine (two), Mediterranean oak tree (many of them), bay laurel tree (many of them), gorse tree (three of them). And I’m not talking about FarmVille (from Facebook), no! I’m talking about my real backyard :)
So, I figured, I should make a graphic and dedicate it to trees. And, before you know it … voila!

Gang,
As most of you already noticed, July 2009 edition of GBG Newsletter is out. And it is always a big event in our house! Simply because it takes a lot of work. Many hours. Lot of preparations, tests, modifications, adjustments and re-adjustments.
Until, one day, we can say “It’s ready” and send it out. Then we make a toast and a little celebration :) Then we eat loads of ice cream and dance to the music! (Unless my husband decides to play Freddy in the living room :)
And I learned today, again, how you guys recognize that and appreciate it (not the dance, but the quality of the newsletter). Thank you for your messages of support!
Not to mention how thankful I am and happy to receive great feedback from my buyers. Your feedback is so great that I just go and read it when I feel down. It’s warm and uplifting. And that’s what keeps me going.
OK. I got diverted from the subject now.
So, the newsletter is out. I am already receiving great feedback about it. Especially on Facebook and thank you so much for that.
I’m glad to hear you love my latest Peacock feather brushes. As always, they come in highest possible resolution (up to 2500). I draw each feather, manually, spent a lot of time doing it, but it was worth it.
In this latest edition we also bring some new Photoshop tutorials and one background made with a little help from Peacock brushes.
All in all, I’m happy with the way it turned out. I’m even more happy to see that you like it too.
If you are new to the site and were wondering how to get the latest issue of GBG Newsletter it’s enough to become a Green Bulb Gang member ->

So, here is what background looks like (this is thumbnail version).

So, thank you for your attention. Keep on writing, I will write back.
And don’t forget: Always have fun creating!
Hugs,
Silvia

A year ago I announced a free Mac Style Background download on my Blogffiliate.com blog. And it was a blast! They were really popular, but some not-so-good-people used torrent sites and other not-so-nice ways to illegally publish my free background… well, in a short: I had to pay for that all that traffic. Now I learned how to use .htaccess file and there are no more bad people linking to my blog from torrent and similar sites.
Things on the Net are not always good.
But anyway, HERE’s the link to download one FREE Mac Style Background in HighRes (3200×2400 pixels, 300 dpi)

It’s slightly different form those that come in the PREMIUM Package: Mac Style Backgrounds Pack. This package consists of 6 different backgrounds in 6 different styles and colors. Use them in your designs, scrapbooking or even video projects.
Have fun creating!
S :D
P.S.
Do I need to mention? For all of you graphics designers, scrapbookers and photographers I highly recommend checking out my 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET! Just click here for Photoshop brushes w/commercial license and see what’s on the table :)
