I know, I know. It’s 5th already. Well, what can I say? It is a kind of tradition. I am almost always late with calendar wallpapers. Instead of publishing it few days before 1st, I publish it few days after the beginning of the month.
I hope you can forgive me. You know how it is. It is up to muses, not me. :) They decide when will I make stuff.
Well, anyways, ladies and gentlemen, dear visitors, GBG members, today I proudly present you
October 2011 Desktop Calendar Wallpaper is here!

Guys,
It’s 3rd already. But still, it is not too late to update your desktop wallpaper with a new one. For this one, I took one of my photos, tweaked a color or two (I know, you could never tell :)), added a Photoshop brush or two and voila!
Ladies and gentleman, today I bring you:
Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: September 2011 and Photoshop brushes by Graphics-Illustrations.Com
What’s with the colors?
Well, Autumn begins… and the main colors in nature are yellow, red, gold and brown… I had to leave the grass in green because my hubby insisted that it looks “absolutely gorgeous” this way. Well, it looks kind of “weird”, I can give him that.
Well, anyways, I hope you will like the September 2011 Desktop Calender Wallpaper and if you do, feel free to download it.

Warning: This post might get, occasionally, funny! There are glimpses of funny, least to say. (Also, no free downloads here, check the previous posts for free downloads or join GBG.Thank you.)
Note for Google: Facebook Page Templates and Facebook Fan Pages and Our New Facebook Fan Page
(I know, the heading is not funny, but that’s how you make an introduction to funny stuff. Just bear with me.)
I know the heading sounds like the news from the future, but the way things go, future not too distant. The world is changing, the Internet is changing too. Facebook has changed everything; the way we communicate, the way we share our thoughts images, videos and “statuses”.
Everybody’s got their own wall now days. (And some wanted to Tear Down The Wall, back in the pre-historic Pink Floyd time). If you did not change your status on the Face for more than a week, the chances are you are dead! If you don’t “friend” with your neighbor on “The Face”, he will consider you hate him and will not talk to you any more (the least to say, there have been even some physical attacks recorded for ignoring the Facebook Friendship request). Facebook even killed Second Life for heaven sake! Now, what does that say? Life on Face is soo much better! You still get to be what you want to be, but you also get to mingle with real people from the real world!
They way things are now, it seems like Facebook is taking over the Internet. When it comes to being on line, or being alive for that matter, like the common behavior these days is: a) Turn on your computer, b) Start Facebook, c) Live on Facebook, d) Turn your computer off, e) Go to sleep. I am exaggerating a bit.
Or, am I?
Yep. We are already talking pre and post Facebook time. You know these conversations:“Oooh, that was so long ago, it in pre-Facebook time! Almost nobody was alive then!” The architecture: “This house was built even before the Facebook time!” not to mention how “This guy! He is so old! He was born before Facebook even existed!”
So, when I check on my blog traffic analytics, it is obvious, most of the traffic are returning visitors, guys who just liked my posts and graphics even before the Facebook time. So, what does it say about you? I mean if you are reading this, it means that you still believe in life outside of the Facebook. So, that makes at least two of us. At least :)
Well, anyways, knowing all this, I decided that I will improve my presence on the Facebook (and there are some cool freebies on our Graphics-Illustrations.Com Facebook fan page) so, I created new Facebook Page using Facebook Template from pagemodo.com. It’s easy to customize and easy to install it: as long as you know how to make cool graphics (or have some cool Photoshop brushes) you should have no problem doing the same for your Facebook page :).
So, this is what my new “Welcome” Facebook page looks like. And the graphics there were done with a little help from my friends – Photoshop brushes / Digital stamps.
As most of you know, Photoshop brushes/Digital stamps are here to help you out creating graphics for all purposes. Here is what I used to create the Facebook Welcome page.
Photoshop Brushes: Valentine’s (21+21) Second Edition + 21 PNG file
This set contains:
* 21 brush at 2000px
* 21 brush at 1000px
* 21 transparent PNG file
- Commercial license
- PC/Mac Compatible
- compatible with Photoshop 7.0 and newer versions
- compatible with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 and newer versions

I hope you will like it!

Coming Soon
Photoshop Text Effects Pack
An update: Photoshop Text Effects Pack is finished, and there’s a freebie too :)
I know, you must be wondering why on the world did I decide to use the Winter theme in the middle of the Summer? And you surely must be wondering why do I want to promote winter text effect, again, in the middle of the Summer?!
Beats me. I guess I just had a day like this. Not a good marketer. I know.
Anyhow, hereby I want to announce a new product. This time it is a pure PSD files with several layers. But, this one will enable you to get these text effects quickly and with no effort whatsoever.
I hope you will like it.
Of course, you will be able to lettering and the font as per you preferences.
Anyways, here is another sample on this new Text Effects Pack – Rain, not that much of a Winter theme any more, innit?:
So, Text Effect Pack will consist of 6 different text effect for Photoshop! Every text effect will be presented on 12×12 inches background suitable for the effect.
Some text effect will be linked to the background (like this one above) but you can change the background with another one from your photo-album (for example: if you took the picture of water drops that fall from the window you can use it in this psd file)
OK, that’s it. You just saw half of this new pack :) Next three text effects will be presented when completed :)
And the tutorial on how to use them is on it’s way too.
Have a great Sunday,
Silvia

Guys,
I received an email the other day. It came from Germany and it was from a young woman who’s dream is to be a fashion designer. She wanted to buy my 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET because the brushes there were just what she needed for her first fashion line but she wanted to make sure it is in line with my ToU before she makes a purchase.
Of course it was in line with my ToU! Actually, I was so happy that my brushes will be used that way that I decided to give her some of these brushes in as vector graphics as well!
When I was younger I dreamt the same dream. Wanted to be a fashion designer, making my own fashion lines… but life went into a different direction and now I’m graphic designer.
Anyways, what I wanted to say, it always amazes me to I see how many different and creative ways you find in using Photoshop brushes.
I mean, we did the boots design with Photoshop brushes, we made T-Shirts and socks, rubber stamps, packaging paper design, software application interfaces, that was fun, and I’d really really love to see C. making a success as a fashion designer.
Guys, I just needed to share with you, once again, how fascinated I am with the world of options we are surrounded with. Every day. If we just open our eyes.
Create, invent, discover!
Love,
Silvia
PS:
So, you thought I have forgotten about you, haven’t you? But I haven’t. If you liked the graphics from the header of this post you can have it as your wallpaper. To create it I used Photoshop brushes from my little Shop. These are available at The Ultimate Photoshop Brushes CD too :)

We all need to be aware of environmental issues. And we can all help no matter what we do for living. So, even I, a Photoshop brushes designer, can use my work to promote green ideas.
I received that email the other day. It was a PowerPoint presentation showing how much damage plastic bags are doing to our planet. And how much good could we do if we just abandon them and go for good old fabric ones or paper bags. Even China banned the use of plastic bags.
I mean, I knew already knew how bad plastic bags are, but here are some facts that stunned me and probably won’t leave you indifferent too.
Consider the Following Shocking Facts About Plastic Shopping Bags:
* Plastic bags are made of polyethylene
* Polyethylene is a petroleum product
* Production contributes to air pollution and energy consumption
* Four to five trillion plastic bags are manufactured each year
* Americans use over 380 billion polyethylene bags per year
* Americans throw away approximately 100 billion polyethylene bags per year
* Of those 100 trillion plastic bags, 1% are recycled
* It takes 1000 years for polyethylene bags to break down
* As polyethylene breaks down, toxic substances leach into the soil and enter the food chain
* Approximately 1 billion seabirds and mammals die per year by ingesting plastic bags
* Plastic bags are often mistaken as food by marine mammals. 100,000 marine mammals die yearly by eating plastic bags.
* These animals suffer a painful death, the plastic wraps around their intestines or they choke to death
* Plastic bag choke landfills
* Plastic bags are carried by the wind into forests, ponds, rivers, and lakes

So, if you are into design and Photoshop brushes, what you could do is go to Cafepress and make a 100% cotton reusable bag!
I know I did one :)
This bag was done with Paisley Designs Photoshop brushes set ->
OK. Guys! I hope you agree with me on the plastic bags issue. Have fun, have a great weekend and talk soon!

The time has come! Our Graphics-Illustrations.Com Christmas Graphics Competition is over. We had a tough job selecting the best graphic because all of them were great!
Anyways, as we know – there can be only one so, here it is:
The winner is Lisa Palmer Gupton with her Christmas Card
Lisa sent me complete card which is folded and double sided. It took a lot of work to do something like that and we appreciate it.
Here’s the rest of the card, back and front:
Thank you Lisa Palmer Gupton for your great work, I think that our Facebook community will agree that your work deserves be the winning one. Please contact us at info(at)graphics-illustrations.com to collect your prize: Custom made video photo album.
For the rest of you guys, thank you so much for submitting your designs, they were all great and all of them will be displayed in our little Christmas Graphics Flash Gallery.
And one more note, some of the contestants did not include any of my brushes into their work. Since that was one of two conditions for the participation we could not include these submissions. It would not be fair towards the rest of you who stuck to the rules.
Thank you all for participation, it was fun, we discovered some real talents and i think we won’t have to wait long before having another competition :)
Have fun!
Yours,

Gang,
I just need to share this with you. And I’m gonna make it worthwhile for those of you who bear with me till the end of this post. :) It just might become a new tradition on this blog (wink-wink :)
So, just the other day I received this email from Ms. Anna Owczarz-Dadan from PhotoshopPad.com.
She is a Photoshop expert from Poland who made a bunch of Photoshop books and now she created a Photoshop keyboard shortcuts mouse pad. In her email she kindly asked me if I could announce her product on my blog. She did not offer any affiliate program, she just kindly asked if I could announce her mouse pad on my blog. OK, fair enough. No problem there.
But – Gosh! Again?! Someone beat me to my own idea again! I was planning to do the very same thing myself!
Bugger! It happens to me all the time. Do I get too many ideas? Or am I not fast enough? Well, I’ll let someone else to decide on that but, something else occurred to me!
It doesn’t matter if she made these pads before me! It really doesn’t! It is a great idea, and the best thing I can do now is – help her out!
That’s what I want to do! I mean, she is an independent entrepreneur woman (just like me after all) so why don’t I not buy her mouse pads and send them over to you for free??!?!
Then again, I can’t really afford to send them over to all of my visitors (there are about 4000 unique visitors every day on this blog last time I checked, here is a good chance for you advertisers). But, there is something I can do.
Hear me out:
For all of you, who purchase my 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA Pack (which is a great deal by itself already, check it out here ->) between now and, say, next 7 days (That’s something like next Monday 20th of April), I will personally go to PhotoshopPad.com web site and order one Photoshop shortcuts mouse pad to be delivered to your address. Free of charge. You don’t even get to pay shipping. Or packing. Nothing. Nada. Zero costs for you.
How about that for a deal? I’d say it’s also a statement (support women entrepreneurs)! Not just a good deal!
So, support women entrepreneurs, purchase the ultimate tool for creation: 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET and get the Photoshop shortcuts mouse pad delievered to your door for free - all in one go!
Well, it turns out that we all are getting a great deal here! Gosh, these things just make me happy! And I’m sure it will make you happy too! Cause you’re gonna have great fun creating beautiful stuff with this set and you’re gonna have a great mouse pad with Photoshop keyboard shortcuts in sight – always.
So, here is what to do:
- On my products page there is a presentation of 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET, you will get an amazing value there cause when you buy this ultimate set as you are actually getting all of my PREMIUM PRO sets for 1/2 the price. (Read more here ->)
- As soon as your order is received you will get the link to download page and

- And that’s it!
You will have fun creating great stuff with my MEGA SET and always have the Photoshop keyboard shortcuts in your sight when you need them to speed up the creation process!
What else is there left to say?
Love ya all!
Silvia
P.S.

P.P.S.

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:
[ PREVIEW Free LITE Edition ] | [DOWNLOAD Free LITE Edition*]

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.
Popularity: 4% [?]
I was checking that stats of my blog the other day when I realized that more than 3000 visitors are coming to this site every day. Now, how cool is that? That’s, like, 30 000 in 10 days! I will not calculate more.
Also, many of you write about great stuff you did with my brushes and I’m really happy for all of you.
So, I was thinking, why don’t I make a post about your work. It would, definitely, help you get visibility and for me, it would be pleasure to help you promote your work!
So, if you used my Photoshop brushes, or Vectors or any other product from my Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop let me know. I’ll check it out and feature your work on my blog. For free, of course :)
Peace, love and have fun creating!

Gals’n'Gays,
Many of you used the opportunity to get the Grunge Love Scrapbook Set for free by buying my latest Photoshop brush Floral Shapes (the offer is still on the table :). Therefore, many of you got a hold on scrapbook kit for the first time and I receive many questions on how to use that kit.
That is why I decided to prepare a tutorial for all of you who are scrapbooking beginners, I’m gonna make a scrapbook dedicated to my sister Nina who I love very much.
So, here is the step-by-step tutorial on usage of the scrapbooking kit Grunge Love!
1. Start Photoshop and open one of the background files provided in „Scrapbook Page Kit: Grunge Love”. In this tutorial I used “bgr4.jpg”.
2. Choose the photos you want to use in this scrapbook page. Since I am dedicated this scrapbook to my sister, I used her photo (these funny photos are taken with fish eye lens.)
3. Drag and drop this photo to a layer above the background and open one of the frames (“png” files – transparent). Drag and drop the frame (in this case “frame01.png” from Scrapbook Page Kit: Grunge Love) to the layer above the photo. Align it and scale so that it fits.
4. If you want to work with corners separately, select the one you want to move with “Rectangular Marquee Tool” and move it around, or cut out the photo to fit the frame. (Tip: using simple Rectangular Marquee Tool or Polygonal Lasso Tool surround the frame corner and, while holding Ctrl key, press arrow keys up and down. Now the corner is selected. :))
5. Add another photo and add another frame. Now, you can rotate the photo and the corners (all layers) together (except for the background, you don’t want to rotate background). So, select the layers with photos and corners by holding the “Ctrl” key (Press Ctrl, hold it down and click on layers one by one until all layers are selected). Now press Ctrl+T for Free Transform and rotate the selected layers for, say, 15 degrees. Hit Enter once you’re done.
6. Now you can use one or two (or more) heart symbols. I went for heart with wings. Rotate them for 15 degree too.
7. Open the “loveLetters.png” file (also from Scrapbook Page Kit: Grunge Love) and add letters at the layer above.
8. Add one symbol in the background (just above the background layer), for example you can choose “heartTransparent.png” (from the same Scrapbook Page Kit). Use layer blend modes and select “Multiply”…
9. That’s it!
As you can see it’s quite simple. Everything you need is included in the kit (except for the photo of my sister :))
So, if you still haven’t, you can still get this kit for free when you purchase Photoshop Brushes – Floral Shapes ($9.99). Or you can get Grunge Love Scrapbook Kit individually for $4.99.
Have fun creating!
_______________________________
NOTICE:
This package is quite heavy – 44Mb. This is because all images are in highest resolution 12″x12″ at 300dpi for those of you who want to print it in a professional way. I’m saying this because the download might take long especially for those of you who don’t have high-speed broadband Internet connection.

It’s hard to say it in words. So, I said it with this little graphic. I wanted to express my understaning of what really matters. Through symbols, words, shapes and colors. Probably we should turn this blog into a visual one. Less words and more images. Or maybe those two forfill each other? Anyway, I hope you like it. I did it with Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set.
Enjoy your day!

Today’s news are: I bought the domain name: graphics-illustrations.com and I hosted it at Siteground.com (all of my domains are hosted there).
Now I’m thinking about possible problems before my DNS is activated:
- what’s going to happen’ to all the links to specific pages from my blogs and other web sites?
- how do I retain my visitors?
- should I consider running my blog on blogger parralel to my new site at the same time for a while?
- do I have to change my blog design and improve it?
…
I really don’t know what will happen after I transfer my blog to new domain… and I’m kinda’ afraid of the whole procedure!
When I started this blog I didn’t dream that I will have 2000+ visitors daily after only 5 months… and I didn’t consider any other domain name or web hosting but this one at blogger.com…
In the meantime take a look at bsilvia.com and see what’s happening!
