Hi Gang! It’s been a while and I feel totally bad about not writing for so long (5 days!). And many things have happened in the meantime.
We had technical issues with our WordPress blog, then we upgraded it to the latest 2.5 version, then we had some more technical issues – BUT it is all resolved now!!!! (Thank you Nickola from Siteground! You’ve been a great help and support in a tough times!)
So, we’re up and running again and it is my great pleasure to introduce our first guest writer:
Lauren from Creative Curio
Lauren has been in the graphic design industry since 2003 and currently runs Creative Curio, a graphic design focused blog. Scrapbooking has been her hobby since around the same time, and she loves this no-pressure creative outlet. Therefore, she didn’t think twice when we asked her if she would like to write about scrapbooking.
So, if you’d like to find out how was the scrapbook image above done check out Scrapboking tutorial: Children in Spring –> by Lauren from Creative Curio.

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.

Joing GBG for Free Photoshop 7.0 brushes – Butterflies Made of Swirls – Lite set of 5 (approx. 500 pixels size)
Get Photoshop brushes – Butterflies Made of Swirls – Premium set of 20 right here (high resolution)
Today I wanted to take a different approach to swirls. And to butterflies. So, I created butterflies out of swirls. And I hope you will like it as much as I do. It’s a prefect brush for a happy spring time or similar scrapbook. Just scatter them across the field and let them dance their way across your page leaving just enough room for the photograph of your kid somewhere in the middle.
All in all, what I wanted to say, may these butterflies bring spring to your home (and mine) soon.
Have fun creating,
S :)
p.s.
Butterflies made of swirls LITE version are available to GBG members. It is one of the add on downloads GBG members get upon their registration into their Free Download Areas.
