Dear All,
Today, I prepared a free desktop July 2011 wallpaper.
I named it simply – “Sunflower”. I love sunflowers and my garden is full of them :)
To me, this flower does not represent Summer and sun only, it also represents freedom, food (seeds and oil) and universal beauty. That’s why I love sunflowers!
I made this wallpaper with a little help from my friends Lightworks Photoshop brushes which are freely available to Gold and Platinum GBG members. So, to get them, join us at GBG and get access to those AND 150+ other Photoshop brushes sets, backgrounds, vector images, etc.
“Sunflower”, July 2011 Desktop Wallpaper calendar is available in following dimensions:
[Right-click on the link and select "Save Target As ..." or "Save Link As ..."]

And here is the iPhone wallpaper too
The image below is just something I made with my Hipstamatic and iPhone.
Have a great day, think positive and always wear a smile :) It’s free and it suits you perfectly!

Dear All,
Last few weeks were pretty stressful for me.
That’s why you did not hear from me for a while. I didn’t want to write about these, not so good, things that were going on in my life. Let’s just say that things are back to normal, more or less, for the time being at least.
OK. Now, let’s get to fun stuff!
Today is the last day of March (at least for those of you who are reading this on 31st of March), and this time I prepared a free desktop April 2011 Calendar wallpaper. Isn’t it odd? This time, for a change, I prepared a Calendar wallpaper in time!!! :)
I made this wallpaper with my latest Cherry Blossoms Photoshop brushes set which is freely available to all GBG members. This set is published in March Edition of GBG e-zine! If you want it, become a GBG member and you will get access to 120+ Photoshop brushes sets, making a total of almost 1000 FREE Photoshop brushes.
Japanse Cherry Blossoms, April 2011 Desktop Wallpaper calendar is available in following dimensions:
| 1024×768 | 1280×800 | |
 |  | |
| 1280×960 | 1280×1024 | |

Hi!
I hope you like the image above. It is about, well, travel. It’s about time we all have and it’s about uncertainty and change.
I wake up every day at 6:35AM (like many of you I’m sure), I go to work (by train) and I come back home somewhere around the same hour – PM.
So, last Friday, I felt compelled to take a photo of my train station. iPhone was all I had at hand at the moment, so I used it. Image taken with plain iPhone camera looked dull, so I took another shot. With Hipstamatic application – this time.
And, just this afternoon, while syncing my iPhone with a PC I ran into that image again and I just felt: “This one has potential.”
Well, not much is left to say. I used some of my beloved bsilvia brushes and after a bit of playing (with some great music in the background) I got this graphic.
I hope you like it.
Anyways, in case you were wondering what brushes were used – it’s in the image above.
Personally, I liked this graphic a lot. Actually, I liked it so much that I was sorry for making it just in 72dpi. If I made it bigger I could have used it for a desktop wallpaper, or even print it out, frame it and put it on the wall.
I don’t know. I believe there is a creative soul living in all of us, it’s just that sometimes we need a little push. So Silvia’s brushes are my push. OK. I am a bit privileged as I don’t have to pay for PREMIUM versions, but then again, I earn them by washing dishes :)
Anyways, I hope you like the image, maybe some of you recognized yourselves in it and if so: I know how you feel :)
Here is what was used for the graphic:
Swirled (Floral) Edges by bsilvia (18 PREMIUM Photoshop brushes)
and
Good Old Snail Mail – Photoshop brushes set by bsilvia
So. For those of you who liked this graphic, but generally lack self confidence to try and do something by yourselves, let me tell you – it’s inside you. I use this little push by bsilvia’s Photoshop brushes to help me get it out, you can do the same (or you don’t have to ) but if I can do it – you can do so too.
Darijan
P.S.
I enjoyed doing this graphic so much that I strongly believe I will do another one very soon. This time in higher resolution so I can print it out and put on the wall for my friends and family to see it :)

Gang,
I bet many of you were taking pictures on weddings. Either as a professional photographers or just wedding guests no matter, taking photos on weddings can be loads of fun and we can never have enough good and funny wedding photos. But, taking pictures can be just a beginning of one beautiful project. So, why not take the whole deal one step further and create a Wedding Photo Book?
Now, that’s something everyone will enjoy going through, isn’t it?
It doesn’t matter if you can’t or don’t have time to make all these decorations that need to be used in such project. In this little example I made a small demo of how Photoshop brushes can help when creating a Wedding Photo Book.
Basically, what I did, I took one wedding photo, several brushes from The Ultimate Photoshop Brushes CD , mixed them all up in Photoshop and – voila! Here is the front page and the first page of Wedding Photo Book.
You can do all that. All you need to know is how to load Photoshop brushes into Photoshop document, mix them up with wedding images, play a little with colors, dimensions, brush positioning on page and Wedding Photo Book is done in no time.
Ok. I hope you liked this little example and maybe some of you will want to try and make something like this with your self. Let me know how it goes.
Love ya all,
Silvia

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 ->

Oh, I almost forgot!

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!

Last night I dreamt that my cat Poofah whispered to my ear:
“Make the February Calendar Desktop Wallpaper… make the February Calendar Desktop Wallpaper… “
I opened my eyes. Poofah was sitting on my pillow. Starring at me. In silence. Her yellow eyes were glittering in the dark.
Just a distant howling of the lone wolf. Owl shrieked and flew away. Clouds were passing by the full moon.
OK. I exaggerated a bit with this wolf, moon and owl thing but still, I look at Poofah in suspicion ever since. And silence is all I get – ever since.
Anyways, I just had to make sure that such nightmare won’t happen’ again so I sat by my computer, opened some of my favorite Photoshop brushes and voila: February 2010 Calendar Desktop Wallpaper is here (Download link is below)!
I know you won’t miss the Poofah influence in the design. Sorry, I could not escape it :)
So, enjoy these wallpapers or enjoy even more creating your own designs with the superb Photoshop brushes from my little shop of wonders for designers :)
Love you all!
Silvia (the one from the woods, but I’ll explain that later, maybe in the P.S. :)
P.S.
Ok. I’ll explain that now.
My name, Silvia, in Latin, means – the one from the woods.
Archaic Latin alphabet does not have “Y”, that’s why my mother insisted that my name was Silvia and not Sylvia. Anyways, I might even turn into a werewolf once a month for all that I know :))
P.P.S.
Now, that got me thinking. I might even call my next company “Werewolf designs” … uhmmmm … cool …
Download February 2010 Calendar Desktop Wallpaper here:

Guys,
I just have to share this with you. I made this T-Shirt on Zazzle just for the purpose of showing you one of the ways to use Photoshop brushes. I did this T-Shirt and just left it there. Never did any promotion for my Zazzle shop or anything like that. I guess you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when I received an email from Zazzle stating that it was sold!
Geee!
Yes I know, it looks a bit Twitter. But I created this swirled shapes with leaves a long time ago, back in August 2006. I didn’t know (now I know) if Twitter even existed at that time. Yes, it’s true and it can be easily verified on my profile on iStockphoto.Com (just check the “date uploaded” field).
Anyways, that’s how the “Tweet! Tweet! Springtime!” TShirt was created and sold on Zazzle yesterday.
In case you were wondering, the brushes used for this T-Shirt come from:
Swirls 2 – Photoshop Brushes set
Set of 36 high quality brushes!
This set is compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.
Commercial license included.
Click here for preview:
Buy from 2CO - 2CheckOut.com Inc. (Ohio, USA) is an authorized retailer for goods and services provided by Graphics-Illustrations.
Swirls 2 – Photoshop Brushes set is a part of 800+ Mega Set PS Brushes that you can get for 1/2 the price ->>
Birds are added manually, but later on I published Photoshop brushes – Birds, pretty successful set I might say and those two in combination offer many many new possibilities.
That’s, like, just one of gazzilion ways to make some extra income with Photoshop brushes. If I made it, you can make it too. Just make sure you use brushes that come with commercial license. (Do I need to mention that all brushes from my Shop come with commercial license?)
OK. That’s it for now, I know I promised to work on January Edition of GBG eZine and it’s coming to an end and all GBG members will get it next week.
Love ya all!

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)
Buy from 2CO
2CheckOut.com Inc. (Ohio, USA) is an authorized retailer for goods and services provided by Graphics-Illustrations.
Like all other sets I make, this one is compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5. Not to mention Photoshop Elements, GIMP and you can use them in PSP too. It comes with the Commercial license! It’s of a highest quality, each brush comes in three different sizes so you don’t lose any quality when re-sizing!

Dear all,
believe it or not, the time has come to prepare for January 2010. Time sure files.
So, what did I do? I prepared a free desktop wallpaper with January 2010 Calendar.
Sizes available:
This wallpaper was created with a little help from my friends as follows:
- “Winter in Swirls”, my latest, but already very popular Photoshop brushes set. (As a matter of fact, I don’t think I ever sold so many copies of the newly published brushes set in such a short period of time.)
- Calendar 2010 Photoshop brushes set
Now, talking about Calendar 2010 Photoshop brushes set, although it is a PREMIUM $9.99 set, you can have it for free if you make a quick (and a smart) move of buying the ultimate collection 800+ Photoshop brushes (a.k.a. MEGA SET) by 31st of December 2009. (so we’re talkin’ just a few more days).
OK guys, that’s it for today. I hope you will like the free download of the day, have fun, hug and love each other, especially now in this special time of the year.
Yours,
Silvia
