Gang,
You know I do this for you and the main drive behind all this is the feeling that I am actually doing something useful for you.
Just now I got this beautiful message:
I want to share a success story with you. Thanks to your winter swirl brushes I made a great logo and other signs and program material for a conference i just ran. It all looked great and consistent. Thanks so much for helping me be creative!

There is nothing more I need.

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:

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

This tutorial will show you how to create, fast and simple, but effective, winter scene in Photoshop. Use it for your own postcard, greeting card or scrapbook page.
1. Create a new document 6”x4” and color the background using Linear Gradient Tool with light blue (cyan) to white like this:
2. To make hills landscape use the Elliptical Marquee Tool and make some ellipses on a new layer holding down the “Shift” button like this:
3. Fill the hills shape with the same linear gradient fill you used for the background. Copy the “hills” layer and flip the layer horizontally. Now, lower the upper “hills” layer a bit. Reduce the opacity of the hills in the background (lower „hills“ layer) to 50%
4. It should look like this:
5. Add some white thick brush strokes in the blue area and
6. use the Blur Tool (50) to create the clouds effect.
7. It should look like this:
8. Now we need some trees? Yes. Use Polygonal Lasso Tool and create triangle as shown on the following screen shot.
9. Then, press Shift key and while holding it down make another two triangles and the trunk as presented on the following screen shots.
10. Now it’s time to fill the trees with some color. For that purpose we will use the gradient that we used earlier in this tutorial. Convert the tree to a Smart Object – later you can duplicate it and change it’s size without loosing it’s quality.
11. When done with trees, merge all layers that contain trees and copy it.
12. Duplicate the trees layer. Drag one of them between two layers with hills. Flip that layer horizontally (that hill is already flipped so the tress will match).
13. Now we need some snowflakes. A perfect opportunity to use my “Snowy skies” Photoshop brush. Let’s make it white.
14. set the snowflakes layer opacity to 50%.
15. Simple winter scene in Photoshop is done!
