OK. Now that I said that, I can give you a short update on what’s going on so you won’t think I’m just sitting here doing nothing all day ;)
Actually, I am working hard, preparing a two new Photoshop brushes sets.
One will be called Swirled Trees. And the other one – Fantasy Birds.
There will be a LITE version of Swirled Trees (just a few brushes to get a taste of what’s in the PREMIUM package), which will be free and you will get it in our next issue of GBG eZine.
And since, I too have to pay the bills, there will also be the PREMIUM version which will include 20 of those beautiful brushes in HiRes with Commercial License, which will, well, not be free. But, for Silver or Gold Members of our Green Bulb Gang, they will get the PREMIUM version on discount!
Also SILVER and GOLD GBG Members will get Fantasy birds Photoshop brushes – for FREE!
As some of you, Facebook friends, have already noticed, I’m kinda addicted to my new Hipstamatic iPhone photo application, so I use it wherever it fits and I also use it in the situations where I probably should not be using it, like in this post.
I made these beautiful Swirled Trees and I wanted to share with you the working version from my screen (which, apart from my iPhone is still the only Apple piece of equipment I’ve got …).
So, of course, in this post I just had to use Hipstamatic again and get that “lomo” look … Here is the working version of the new Photoshop brushes – Swirled Trees which will come out in the next (May) issue of GBG eZine:
And here is the working preview of Fantasy birds Photoshop brushes, also coming out in May issue of GBG eZine:
And, of course, Mr. Alphons (a.k.a. Peackoh) and Poofah are always here, watching from above :))
Oh, and if you are into lomo photography, stop by myHipstamatic.blogspot.com for more :)
So, as you can see, I’m working hard, thinking of you and, while waiting for the next issue of GBG eZine, stop by my shop for some really cool, HiQuality, beautiful Photoshop brushes with commercial license included ->
Love ya all!
Silvia

I’ve discovered a whole bunch of interesting stuff while packing for the removal (don’t we all)!
But, when I run into the hand made diaries I made few years ago I just had to take a picture of them and publish on my blog before putting them back in the box.
Actually I was making those for sale and they were selling quite well on the coast, but for some reason the gallery that sold them closed and since I am not much of a manager or sales person myself I just took what’s left of my unsold stuff and put them in the box to wait for some better days.
I remember I was enjoying making those diaries sooo much.
I did all of it by hand. From cutting the paper and wooden cover, painting the covers, making the photographs, editing photographs and printing them on the canvas and then putting them on the cover of the diary…
Then, on the top of it all I put a final layer of the transparent varnish and voila – the diary was born.
OK, I hope you like these diaries, maybe some of you got an idea to do something like that by yourself, should that be the case feel free to contact me with questions or if you need an advice.
Back to packing for removal now.
Take care,
Silvia
P.S.
Keep your fingers crossed for my removal tomorrow.
I know it will be fast, smooth and problem less but still I won’t mind having some extra positive energy from you guys. Thanks in advance!
P.P.S.
A tip for photographers: the photos on the covers of the diaries are decorated with Swirls Floral brushes set (42+42) Second Edition + 42 PNG files

Photoshop brushes are in action again and this time we will make a CD/DVD sleeve for your 2010 New Year’s Celebration Photos.
So, you made a whole bunch of photos during the holidays? I bet you did. Wouldn’t it be nice if you burn them on a CD or DVD, make a self-made and self designed CD sleeve for it?
And if you prepare all this as a gift, the joy is even bigger!
As always, I used some of my Photoshop brushes to prepare a winter holidays CD/DVD sleeve design for you.
These free downloads are totally ready and all you have to is:
1. Download designs from this page. Select between A4 or Letter format.
2. Print them out on A4 or Letter format (use borderless printing)
3. Follow these videos on how to make a CD/DVD sleeve:
- Collapsing the Spiral Data Tato
- Inserting the Disk into the Spiral Data Tato
- Closing the Spiral Data Tato
- Opening the Spiral Data Tato
Of course, downloaded version contains no text so you can add your own wording.
And here is what the final product looks like: (For more info go to The Fitful Flog)
To do these designs I used:
Winter in Swirls Photoshop Brushes set (33+33+33)

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!

Gang,
It’s Thursday and today I bring you HiRes textures again. Whether it be for your scrap booking needs, or you are preparing some graphic design project it is always good to have some HiRes textures handy, because you never know when will they fit in, just perfectly, into your project.
Besides, I received such a good feedback on Thursday textures so far, it seems to me that there is no need to explain the usability of textures any further. You all know what I’m talking about :)
So, today I bring you 5 textures. They are in JPG format and are HighRes 300 dpi and are FREE!
You can download all textures in one ZIP file HERE (approx. 46Mb)
Sorry, 5 days subscription free download offer expired. However, you can still get those! Join GBG and enjoy this free Photoshop Textures + more than 1500 other free downloads. Please read about our free download policy and join our GBG for more free downloads. Thanks!
But, wait! Here comes a special surprise for those of you who read the whole article instead of just clicking on download links :)
I prepared one more free Photoshop brushes set too! It contains 10 brushes: 5 brushes in maximum size and 5 small brushes (up to 850 pixels) derived from the large ones. I know you’ll just love them and use them in your digital scrap book projects. Download is available after joining GBG. Please read about our free download policy and join our GBG for more free downloads. Thanks!
These are compatible with 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5! And come with the Commercial License too! So you can use them in your commercial projects, with no obligation towards me, except maybe to say some nice things not necessarily about me or to me, but to anyone who deserves it. Just make someone happy with a word or a smile :)
So, ok. Be good, be lovin’, be givin’ and the same will come to you.
Hugs, or as Micki would say: Sunflower hugs!
Silvia
P.S.

Guys and gals,
Just a small post about this years Christmas Fair, Susanne and myself. As my old visitors already know, this year the Artists Society selected me along with some 20 artists who are allowed to set up their own “cabin” at this years Christmas Fair.
So, we did it!
I am selling my own stuff like, photos on wood, diaries, wooden candle holders and Susanne sells her socks and pantyhose.
And here are some images (taken late at night):

Island of Krk, Croatia
Today I was on a one day trip to the Island of Krk in Croatia.
As usual, took my camera with me – just in case the light is good. And it was. The wind was strong and it was cloudy but the light was, somehow, magical. Could not miss the opportunity.
So, my dear visitors, here they are, fresh photos from Island of Krk in Croatia and if you like them just click on any of them and it will take you to my other site where there are many more if them.
Lately I figured I’d add some moral to each of my posts. And the moral of this story is: Even the bad weather offers some great opportunities. Open your eyes!
Love,
Silvia
P.S.

Weekend is over… but hey! Don’t be sad – it’s still Summer! Enjoy it!
Today, I gladly present you “Bellissima Photographic Artistry”, my friend Robin is one of the owners of the site. She’s an engineer, but don’t let this misguide you! Oh, no! She has an eye for beauty, perfect sense of timing in photography and she’s open to experiments. Both, in photography and in graphic design. Great job!
I met her during my first blogging days, about a year ago and I’ve been following her work ever since. In fact, I did some 10 sets of illustrations for “Bellissima Photographic Artistry” albums (wedding, newborns…).
So, while in between browsing my Photoshop brushes and checking out my latest Vector set, take some time and visit her website, enjoy her breathtaking images of brides and grooms, weddings, newborns and proud parents.
