Gang!
Mr. Alphons (on the image below) and me wish you a very happy St. Patrick’s Day! Green, cheerful holiday that celebrates not just St. Patrick but it also a spring time that is coming!
Although St. Patrick’s Day originally started in Ireland as a religious holiday, a long time ago at the beginning of the 7th century, gradually it became a secular celebration celebrated all around the world, all the way to South Korea :) More about St. Patrick’s Day ->
And that’s no wonder, main concept of this celebration is: to be cheerful, have a beer with your friends, sing and dance.
Although, today did not start very well for me. Mr. Alphons, our little kitten tried to imitate Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible and fell of the balcony (2nd floor) while doing it :(
Still, we might say that today is a very happy day, as Mr. Alphons actually got lucky! We took him to the vet, we did full examination, including the X-Rays, blood test, etc … and the final verdict is – Mr. Alphons is fine!
He has a hell of the reason to celebrate St. Patty’s day!
Still, I hope he will not try to re-do the stunt. Or was just his way to express his happiness about the spring that’s coming :) ?
Anyways, just look at him with the clover in his teeth. A true man cat ;) Resembles Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca a bit, innit?

Anyways, have fun, have a pint or just a juice with your friends, celebrate, sing and dance, love each other!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
S
PS: This photo was taken with iPhone. The quality is not disappointing at all, innit?
Also, the decoration of the image was made with Photoshop brushes from our latest GBG eZine (Lite Edition Photoshop Brushes set: St. Patrick’s Day (6+6))
However, for PREMIUM Photoshop brushes just check St. Patrick’s Day Photoshop brushes set Second Edition (35+35) + 35 PNG files :)

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!

I Suppose that all of you guys know about St. Patrick’s Day, right? I was surprised to find out that first parade took a place in New York City (not in Ireland as I thought) and it was on March 17, 1762!
Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people of all backgrounds all over the world. It is all about fun, being drinking and singing – so, why not?
One of the interesting things, to me, is Chicago annual event that started in 1962: dyeing the Chicago River green! Well, I would like to see and take a photo of that event. Who knows, maybe next year I will!
So, until then… take a look at this great Vivayne digital scrapbooking package created using my St. Patrick PS brushes set.
Thank you Vivayne! Great job, as always!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day and have a fun creating!

OK. St. Patrick’s Day is coming and I though I’d prepare something original for the occasion.
St. Patricks Day apron. I mean, everybody’s got a T-shirt already, inn’it?
Apron for St. Patrick’s Day with Irish saying by “unnamed author”)
For every wound, a balm.
For every sorrow, cheer.
For every storm, a calm.
For every thirst, a beer.
So, here is a short “How-to” make something like this on Zazzle.
1. STEP ONE
In Photoshop, create a document 7×8 inch on 200 dpi (you could do it on 300dpi just to be on the safe side when it comes to quality, but 200dpi will work fine as well):

2. STEP TWO
Now select a color by clicking on a “Foreground color” in PS main toolbar. In my case that was #107208 in hexadecimal (that’s R: 16, G: 114, B:8 in RGB color system)

3. STEP THREE
Load the brushes set (if you need more help on how to load brushes in Photoshop please visit “How to Install and Use Brushes in Photoshop“), select the brush you want and place it on the document :). Add some text (like the one at the beginning of this post) and save it as JPG at max quality (12).

Now you can upload this JPG to zazzle and apply it on t-shirts, mugs, bags… apron! Zazzle will do the rest of the work for you.
Just remember: have fun! Always! Simply because life is pointless without having a fun!
XOXO,
Silvia
