Gang,
I was hanging around taking a bunch of photos last week (and I intend to do so for quite a while) so I thought I’d share with you one of the images I took and decorated with Photoshop brushes Floral shapes.
So, this is just to give you some ideas or a little bit of inspiration when it comes to photo decor or even a digital scrapbooking idea.
By the way, I don’t know if I told you about my second blog Photo A Day.
Believe it or not, for last 329 days I’ve been put new photos, every day. All of them are mine, so no borrowing :)
Anyways, if you like photography, I suggest you visit Photo A Day, make a comment and enjoy photography!
Have fun creating!

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 :)

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.

Monday, Monday…
Today I created a set of “film brushes” made out of my old negatives and slides (6×6 and 35 mm).
All images are mine. I took ‘em :) (Please see commercial use of brushes info). Some of them are even taken with the Lomo camera – Holga :) and the origin looks like this yellow toned image on the right (taken with yellow plastic Holga filter in cute little city Novigrad in Istria, Croatia). Two years ago, that was my first lomography experiment.
The collection is heavy (15 MB) so please be patient, but I think it’s worth it and you gonna like them: Download free Photoshop brushes here (set of 13 brushes) and enjoy! :-*
Sorry, 5 days subscription free download offer expired. Download is now available after joining GBG. Please read about our free download policy and Join GBG community and get FREE downloads. Thanks!
