I don’t know about you, but I can’t handle hot weather well! I mean, I love summer, light dresses and stuff, but I live on the top floor!!! Living under the air-conditioner is not very healthy, so I don’t turn it on very often.
Next weekend, we just might escape from the city and head to the coast again, to wet our feet in the sea :)
Today, I selected one beautiful greenish combination to cool-off the day :)
The name of the artist is Tina Chambers.
She used:
- Floral DUO Photoshop Brushes set,
- Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set
- Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set
and made this beautiful scrapbook kit. The name of the kit is “Be a Dreamer”. I surely can identify with this one.
Another great new kit form Tina Chambers is “Fancy Pants”, created using Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set and Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set. Elegant and fancy, the name says it all :)
Stay well, keep smiling, check out Tina Chambers gallery on Digital Scrapbook Place and…
… have fun creating :)

I know, there’s probably nothing wrong with good old fashioned photo albums where you just stack your photos in.
However, today, with digital imaging and software like Photoshop it takes only so much effort to create cool, custom made, little works of art that will hold the images from your, your friends or your clients wedding. And when it’s printed out, this album will not just be a placeholder for your photos, it will be like a little book that you designed and it will be unique, the one and the only that looks like that. Your own photo book.
If you’re not a graphic designer or if you are not familiar with vector editing software or you just don’t have the time to create graphic decorations for such a custom photo album, but you’d still like to make your own albums – then you’re probably looking at the perfect solution.
With Photoshop brushes it’s only a matter of having Photoshop* (any version from 7.0 up to CS3), pressing F5 to get the Photoshop brushes palette on screen and applying the ones you like the most to the background.
Then just add the photos and – voila! Your custom wedding photo album is all done! No need to bother creating background decorations ’cause they’re here already. Still, it’s up to you to decide which ones to use. Also, you’ll need to adjust the size and pick the colors. This can all be done real fast. To make it even faster please refer to my post about PS Brushes shortcuts.
So, if you’d like to accept this challenge, I prepared a real big collection of Photoshop brushes for you to select from. 158 of them. And here is what this package contains:
- Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set, 32 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes Set, 42 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Swirled Frames Photoshop Brushes Set, 18 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Swirled Corners Photoshop Brushes Set, 20 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Designs Photoshop Brushes Set, 30 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
Total value of these sets (if bought separately) would be $49.95
Then I created one special set of 16 brushes, added to the bunch [preview] and decided to give it away for free!
And, in the end, I thought I’d make it a special offer and sell it all together for $39.99
How about that for a deal?
:)
I knew you’ll like it!
Get your $49.95 bundle + 16 bonus Photoshop brushes at the reduced price: $39.99 –> here ->
* For those of you who don’t have Photoshop, you can still use this package. With a little help from THIS SOFTWARE you can export the brushes into .png format and use them in any other photo editing software. Paint Shop Pro, Gimp (which is free), or … just any, because they all work with .png formats.

I was just sitting at the terrace the other day, enjoying the quiet afternoon when distant vibrant of the church bells reminded me on one thing that none of us can buy. Time.
We all need time and the time must be the most precious gift that we were given. We need to be careful on how we spend it because there is no warehouse or shopping mall where we can go for more. We can’t even return the misused time and ask to replace it with a new one.
So, that afternoon I was taking rest after the night spent by my PC making the latest Paisleys designs PS Brushes set. (These were probably one of the most demanding designs I ever did. Complicated and beautiful at the same time). I felt good. Also, because I knew it will save time to many designers and Photoshop users.
Love,
Silvia
P.S.
So I also made a wall clock to fit the subject! With paisleys too! :)

I was checking, the other day, some scrap booking and design sites. Just couldn’t help noticing how popular Paisleys are. And for a good reason too! They are beautiful shapes indeed.
If you go to Google images and enter “Paisley Designs” you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’m talking about perfect decoration for all kinds of design projects. Like a perfect back-vocals at some music performance. Graphic elements that have a great potential of spicing up any visual design project.
But, we all know how hard it is and time consuming to make such designs, whether it be in CorelDRAW or Illustrator – it’s really tough. Particularly shapes like these. I’d say, it more difficult to make those, then any other design shapes because of so many details that also make them so beautiful.
So, I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be nice to have some nice, high-quality Paisley Designs Photoshop brushes?
It surely would!
So, it took me while to make them, it wasn’t easy at all.
But, ladies and gentleman, now they’re done, completed and ready. I proudly present you – Paisley Designs – Photoshop Brushes set 75+25!
As always, these brushes are high-resolution and compatible with Photoshop 7.0 up to Photoshop CS5. They’re here for you to take make new design projects whether it be digiscraps (digital scrapbooking), wedding invitation designs, web design, print design projects, paper towels, wallpapers, tee shirts and … possibilities are endless!
Also, I added one additional feature to them too: You can place smaller ones inside bigger ones (up to three) and create brand new, unique and totally yours new paisley shapes!
So, for those of you who want to start creating immediately – put your hands on the real thing – here is a PREMIUM version Paisley Designs! Total of 25 Paisley Designs Brushes divided in three sections (75 brushes!) and 25 paisley designs = 100 brushes [Preview].
As usual, they come with commercial use license. [Add Paisley Designs to cart]

You know, I get really really excited and feel kinda proud every time I get an email from someone who successfully sells their designs on micro stock agencies. And ESPECIALLY designs that incorporate my brushes in it. Why? Because I helped someone to make a better design.
So, I did some research and it came as no surprise to learn that designs with swirls are making a blast on the market. It is no secret, this is the age of Swirls! Swirls rule the empire of graphic designs, from web to print, from commercials to scrapbooks. And we ain’t seein’ no end to it’s rule anywhere near!
So, to honor the swirls I made a package that contains:
1.Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes Set, (42 brushes) | [preview]
2. Swirls 2, Photoshop Brushes Set (36 brushes) | [preview]
3. Outlined Swirls Photoshop Brushes Set, (23 brushes)
| [preview]
This makes a total of 101 Hi-Res Photoshop Swirls Brushes, ($29,97 value) and it’s on sale now for only $23,97. Buy it here –>
Why? Because swirls rule! We all know that.
Get them now, and have fun creating!

The story about Photoshop brushes has some controversy in it.
On one hand, many people, even experienced Photoshop users, don’t really use this feature very often. Maybe because it was pretty limited before and not so widely known among early Photoshop adopters.
On the other hand, beginners know even less about it as it sounds like some advanced users tool.
And it’s not. I’d even say that Photoshop brushes are great tool for beginners.
Why?
Because, you can make a great looking graphics in literally 10 seconds with Photoshop brushes. Period.
Once the spacing and scattering parameters (and others) are adjusted (and anyone can do that) it is only a matter of making several strokes with the brush along your working area.
You don’t need to know how to draw, how to work with paths, how apply special effects, play with masks … as I said – Photoshop brushes are perfect beginners tool which can, in hands of an advanced user, create a graphical symphony in no time.

Addition: I prepared one more Entrecard design for today: eastcoastlife blog, that’s one of the winners on my Entrecard contest. Somehow, I missed this post from January 23rd. So here it is, four pack Entrecards design for eastocoastlife blog.
Here’s one more set for another winner named “submit your contest”
I’m creating video post about how to create your own Photoshop brushes… hope that it will be live soon.
Popularity: 1% [?]
So out of 11 winners, I received only 4 replies from the winners. It looks like my contest was a total disaster which makes me think.
- Is it because blog owners are not really interested in graphic design of their Entrecards?
- Or maybe theres loads of professional designers out there offering their services for free?
- Or maybe they think if it’s for free it’s not of a high quality?
- Maybe I was supposed to let the bloggers know that I am a professional designer with many many years of experience (and awards too) and direct them to my portfolio?
Well, you live – you learn, and this experience was nothing else.
So, I designed Entrecards for Eva, Kevin, Thomas and Eve :). You guys replied to my announcement and you are getting the designs for your blogs. I’ll do my best to make your Entrecerds a success and that’s not all, you are getting 4 designs each!
For all of you who’s looking for free graphics visit my blogffiliate because today is Friday Freeware and I’m giving away 9 Entrecards design.
See you in Tuesday! (or maybe tomorrow?)

I’m like „crazy cat lady“ but only without cats, I’m the one with plenty of work to do. I’m kind a „crazy working lady“.
And I love cats! Oh, yesssss! And I can’t have one ‘cos I’m living on 4th floor and I have a big terrace without the proper fence. Not to mention that my husband is allergic to a cat fur. Sadly :(
Why I’m sayin’ it? Yesterday my friend Marina (the one who’s working as a part-time make-up artist and stylist) asked me to back her up in case of emergency while she is away (for a month or so). She works as a web designer in S&T company here in Zagreb. She is going to New Zealand with her husband for a whooooleeee month! Oh, boy, I’m so green eyed! :)
I used to back her up before, and it’s was pretty easy.
I think I’ll try to rest for next two days. Until Monday visit my blogs: 404 039 is the number, bsilvia.com and blogffiliate.com!
C’ ya in Monday!
You can download 3 (three) Christmas/New Year images for free on Blogffiliate.com!
