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.
| Preview Swirled Squares Photoshop brushes set |
These brushes are available only to GBG Platinum Members (free download).

Gang,
Father’s Day is getting closer and we don’t want to wait for the last moment to prepare a little something for our beloved fathers, now do we?
It’s better to be ready when the time comes.
So, there you go. I took a look at what we’ve got at our GBG download repository and I’ve found some totally cool brushes, perfect for the occasion: Father’s Day Photoshop brushes (digital stamps)
And, after a little bit of playing around with one photo and few bushes, this is what I came up with.
Father’s day Photo Card
| DOWNLOAD Father’s Day Photo Card – PSD and PNG file 6″x4″ @300 dpi (zip) |
Note: Sorry, 5 days subscription free download offer expired. Download is now available after joining GBG. Please read about our free download policy and join our GBG for more free downloads. Thanks!
Of course, files come without the photo :) That’s where you come in.
All graphics on a card are made with Photoshop brushes which are available for download at our GBG web site. So, just head over there, become a member and download 400 Photoshop brushes of the highest quality, and to make things even more attractive, you are free to do commercial projects with those brushes, meaning, you get to earn money with them.
OK. That’s all for today folks. Ah, just before I forget, for the real deal PREMIUM Photoshop brushes, make sure to check the legendary, 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET ->

Gang,
I really had some rough time last few months. It was a long, cold winter. After years of living in a rented apartments we finally managed to buy (with a little help from the bank of course) an old house that didn’t seem to be in bad condition – at that time.
We were so wrong! After we started renovating it turned out that nearly everything needs to be renovated. It turned out to be a real money-eater so we nearly ended up on the edge of bankruptcy. We’ve been through some really stressful moments, days, nights… I tell ‘ya.
But that’s a whole different story of which I might write a book one day when all these events becomes distant past tense and I hope this day will come soon :)
Still, is there there anything that can stop me from making new free stuff for my dear blog visitors and my GBG members?
Of course not!
So, at this very moment I am finishing up the latest edition of GBG eZine which will be about:
- Spring (aren’t we all desperate for a little bit of Spring already?)
- St. Patrick’s day (Yes, it’s here!)
This means that new edition of GBG eZine will bring you loads of Sprint/St. Patrick’s day themed free and commercial Photoshop brushes, backgrounds, vectors … etc … it is always a big event for me and, judging from your feedback so far, it is always a great news for you too!
So, this is what I had in mind:
- St. Patrick’s Day Bokeh Photoshop brushes set LITE
- St. Patrick’s Day background – HiRes JPG file: 3600×3600 pix (300 dpi) print-ready, commercial use allowed
- St. Patrick’s Day – Classic Ornaments, 6 Photoshop brushes in two sizes! LITE
- St. Patrick’s Day Journal Tags (3)
- St. Patrick’s Day Photo Masks (4), PNG files
- And a regular GBG SPECIAL GBG OFFER (but we’ll keep that secret for the time being)!
- And more stuff, probably a tutorial on how to use St. Patrick’s Day bokeh Photoshop brushes to create nice backgrounds and graphics.
All this should be in GBG members mailboxes within next few days. I hope you will enjoy it.
And I think that’s it in this post. If you’re not a GBG member and would like to get a whole bunch of free downloads and a monthly GBG eZine with even more free downloads you can sign-up here ->
…

Gang!
You know how I always emphasize the potential of Photoshop brushes when it comes to making some extra bucks (and we could all use some, right? :))
So, in one of my recent posts I was sharing my happiness with you because someone just bought a T-Shirt that I made with a little help of my Photoshop brushes! And just as I finished that post someone bought 99 buttons that I also made with a little help from my Photoshop brushes.
Photoshop professionals, enthusiasts and graphic designers do all kinds of commercial projects and businesses with my Photoshop brushes (and vectors from my shop). For instance, some do:
- Rubber stamps
- Others do invitations (all kinds of invitations)
- Then, logos
- Business cards
- Greeting cards
- Table numbers (yes, for wedding occasions)
- Web Designs
- Not to mention digital scrapbooks
- Photo books
- Packaging!
And the list goes on…
So, don’t hesitate to try in case you never tried before. It is fun! It’s easy and it’s fun! And we all know that the best creations are done when you’are having fun doing it.
Did you notice these Hollywood actors, for instance, when they are giving an interview about that great movie that got an Oscar? They always say: “We had so much fun doing it!” And they are not just saying that! They really had fun. The more fun you have while creating, the better creation will be.
So, I had some fun creating stuff for my Zazzle shop and the outcome is here :)
No reason for you not to have fun and make great stuff too!

Ladies and gentleman, designers, scrapbookers, Photoshoppers, beginners, enthusiasts and professionals. Today, it is my great honor and pleasure to present you
Renaissance & Medieval Photoshop brushes set!
Now, before you go and get to this set, here is the story behind …
I red one Seth Godin book a while ago. The name of the book was Small is the new Big and it is mainly intended for new entrepreneurs (and I am one in Photoshop brushes / graphics business) with a bunch of good advices.
I particularly remember one of the advices (two things):
- Make promises
- Keep promises
So, what can I say. It is only natural that one should keep promises, but to make promises. That’s something I was a bit afraid of. But, good ol’ Seth said it’s good to make promises and that I should not be afraid of making them as long as I can keep them.
Why am I saying all this?
Because I made a promise. I made a promise that I will prepare new Renaissance & Medieval themed Photoshop brushes set.
I made that promise to my Facebook page fans and, of course, I kept it. So …
Ladies and gentleman, designers, scrapbookers, Photoshoppers, beginners, enthusiasts and professionals. Today, it is my great honor and pleasure to present you
Renaissance & Medieval Photoshop brushes set!
It is compatible with Photoshop brushes 7.0 – CS4, Photoshop Elements – all versions, Mac and PC.
As usual, there are two versions of that brush. A light one, with 11 brushes which is free:

I believe that life should be about happiness and joy. That’s what I think we’re here for. To be happy. There are so many things that make us happy, I believe each of us could make a pretty long list. I am no exception to that.
One of the things that make me happy is when I get an email or comment where someone says he or she used my brushes to create new great designs. And just today, I received a comment like that Maria from http://digifree.blogspot.com. Maria’s blog is, in my opinion, one of the most useful resources when it comes to digital scrapbooking. It’s a digital scrapbooking freebie search engine. And those floral swirls you will see on her blog, they come from my Swirled Floral Edges Photoshop brushes collection. And that’s what makes me proud and happy!
Maria, happy birthday and I wish you many many more happy and successful years with your blog!
Another thing that makes me happy is to make someone else happy. I guess many of you are like that. So, if you want to make someone happy go ahead. Pick up that phone now and call that someone, ask him/her how they feel. Tell them how much you appreciate them.
Doesn’t it make you happy when you make a sale? Someone might ask. Yes. It does. And not because of these 10 or 20 dollars. But because of the dream of the freedom. Because of the dream that living out of doing something you enjoy is actually possible. It’s the possibility of freedom to do what I want to do what makes me happy.
OK. So much about happiness. If you’re not happy right now, go ahead, make a list of things that make you happy and make these things happen’.
Yours,
Silvia

Tadaaaa! A new brush set is born!
Had some issues on naming it… that was difficult. I knew I wanted the name to contain the word “light” but what light? Sparkling light? Dancing light … not bad but … not exactly what I was looking for.
And then it occurred to me: Lightworks! Sounds familiar, as if I heard that word somewhere … but it doesn’t matter. Now the name of the newborn brush is: Lightworks!
Here is one sample on what can be done with it:
- You can preview here LITE Lightworks PS brushes set and DOWNLOAD it right here (subscription-free next 5 days, as usually – over!)
- Or you can get the real thing, THE ULTIMATE Lightworks brushes set – 61 brushes! Yes! Sixty-one high quality (up to 2000px) Lightworks brushes for just $9.99
- And here is a little tutorial which will show you how to use them
PS: here’s another “Lightworks” graphic sample!

One swirl meets an Artist in a bar: “Hi, my name is Swirl, Outlined Swirl.”
“Ooooh, you must be a new Swirl in town. Nice to meet you. I’m an Artist. Photoshop 7.0 Artist. Are we compatible?”
“But, of course. I’m compatible with you and all of your younger friends there, all the way to Photoshop CS5 Artist.” Swirl gives a brief look to the barmen “Martini, shaken, not stirred.”
This was the beginning of the beautiful friendship. Photoshop 7.0 invited all his younger friends and not just them, by the end of the night Paint Shop Pro Artist was there, Gimp artist and several scrapbooking enthusiasts were there – having a blast together, creating marvelous graphics, images and illustrations of all kinds. And they all lived together happily ever after.
Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentleman, tonight I proudly present you – Swirls, Outlined Swirls set!
May you use it for your most prestigious works of art, your graphics, your illustrations, scrapbooks and all kinds of designs. You can even print them out as a wallpaper for your living room (that’s actually my plan, but for kitchen wall).
As usual, there is a free, LITE 4 brushes version for you to try it out (5 days subscription-free download – over!) and of-course, the full PREMIUM version, set of 23 brushes.
Enjoy! Have fun creating!

So, you would like to print your own scrapbook that will be cool, unique and… huh, cool?
How would you like to make some cool graphics, merge them with some photos and print out as a scrapbook that will always remind you of some people or events?
Do you just feel you can’t afford to spend too much time working on it?
Well, let me tell you something. It took me one afternoon to do my Rovinj (Rovigno) scrap book. Rovinj is a small fisherman’s town in Croatia, at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. I decided that I want to have scrapbook of it, took one afternoon of and … voila! Here it is. Do I need to mention that I used my own brushes for it? (and of course my photos!)
Here is just a preview of the book and in next post I will briefly describe how it’s done. So, if I did it, I’m sure you can do it too. At home. Just using a printer, canvas paper, some textile, cork board, sea shells and a sponge. Nothing too sophisticated.
Photoshop brushes used for this book:
- Swirls (floral) Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
- Tatoo designs Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
- Simple custom Photoshop brushes set

Yesterday, after discovering that AdToll thing, I found myself thinking about how this, this and this person can earn enough money from their blogs? They are actually living a great life only from money earned that way?
Look, this woman is even supporting her family with it! That’s the direction I’m going to. It takes long, but I’ll get there sooner or later.
Why does it take so long for me to do it? Maybe “give stuff for free” business model doesn’t really work? If you have an answer, let me know, will pay for profitable advice.
But that’s me. I can’t be johnchow or shoemoney or dooce. I’m just… Me.
So, today here’s the latest scrapbooking in form of digital scrapbooking – free download: Sepia. This is zipped .psd file (35MB) – 7,5×7,5 inches – 300pix/inch resolution. Every design element is on his own layer, so you can just replace my image with your and – that’s it!

OK. Halloween is over whether we like it or not. That’s the bad news.
But! Here comes the good news! Time has come to start preparing, ladies and gentlemen, for CHRISTMAS!
So, all of you designers, graphic artists, enthusiasts and nice design questers, Photoshop addicts and my blog visitors (that was weirdly put) what better download could I offer today, other than The Great Grunge Snowflakes Photoshop Brush, made by hand, from me – for you.

A year ago, I was creating a web site for a beads reseller.
Believe it or not, I took some 1000+ photos of various beads, until, at some point my client disappeared. Do I need to mention that I was only paid 20% of the agreed price for the job?!
Anyways, let’s leave the past to the past and see what we can do with the beads that were left at my studio. For instance, they could be used to … say … create some Photoshop brushes! Now, what do you know :))
OK. Enough with the talking – here let me present you a set of 20 high-res beads brushes! Ta-daaa!
