Memories, burning, gold memories …
This is from one old Simple Minds song, back in the 80′s. Not many people remember that.
Well… anyways.
By the way, I don’t know about you my blogs gets tons of spam messages daily (spammy comments), and mostly are pharmacy related! And what is most interesting – I receive about 50-80 comments for prescription and non-prescription drugs! Can you imagine? Pffff…!!!
And what’s really bothers me is that I don’t have the time to check them all out one by one (through my spam comment folder), so the only option is to delete them all together. Now, when I think back, I figure it’s even possible that there were some nice friendly comments in my spam folder, but since I got rid of all comments in my spam folder, I guess I’ll never now! Hopefully, there was just spam there.
Ok, back to memories. This is really cool for scrap booking. I mean it’s cool for all kinds of graphic design projects as well, but scrap booking is kinda all about memories .
So, this time I prepared a brand new frames and I gave them the weirdest name ever :)

Few days ago I created the Wedding Photo Frames – Photoshop brushes set (or love photos as some call it).
This set is particularly useful for photographers who want to decorate the Wedding books (and albums) for their clients. But is also great design elements collection for digi scrappers, graphic and web designers, etc …

Today you will see Wedding Photo Frames in action :)
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

If you liked those cute photo frames used in this free wedding scrapbook quick page, you can get them HERE for $9.99 only – with commercial license for your commercial projects.
Love,

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!
