I know, this blog is mostly about Photoshop brushes. Mostly and mainly. It is also about anything and everything that has anything to do with graphics and illustrations. (Nicley put, in’nit?)
Most of the visitors of this blog (around 3000 daily, 80% are new visits) came over here through Google looking for some free downloads or tutorials. Of course, with more than 80 free Photoshop brushes sets, a dozen of free vectors and illustrations I hope no one leaves this site disappointed.
But, sometimes, just sometimes a feel the need to share some of my thoughts with you guys. It’s not like I’m some kind of hermit living in a solitude with no-one to talk to. (Although there are times when I wouldn’t mind living like that :)) But today, I’d like to share some thoughts with you.
So, what Photohop brushes and free downloads have to do with our purpose on this planet, our existence in this time and space? (If time and space exist at all).
Well, believe it or not, I have my opinion about that and maybe you will agree.
First of all (and it took me a while to come to this conclusion), I believe that we are here to be happy. That is our main purpose.
My grandma believes that we are here to good onto others and this fits my theory perfectly.
And that brings us to the topic of this blog – graphics. How?
Say you know how to do scrap booking. And say you know someone who would be glad to receive scrap book or photo album from you. And, say, you want to make this person, or couple – happy. It’s easy. Just find or take a photo of them (or him or her). Frame it properly, add some decorations, print it out and – voila!
For this post I prepared a little photo album front page idea. It’s just a start, but, as an old Chinese proverb says: To start is to have half of the job done.
So, here is this little photo album front page idea, I hope it will help you get some other ideas and make yourself and someone else happy.
Here is what I used in this front page:
1. Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32)
2. Circled hearts, Photoshop brushes set (40+40)
Ok. That’s it for today’s post.
Be happy, make others happy and have fun creating!

Gang,
Had a kind of the urge to show you maybe some other approaches to Photoshop brushes and their usage. Of course, the possibilities are limitless and this is one of them.
I used a Photoshop Hearts brush,but much more is available in this Wedding brushes package which is on sale now ->
So, this is just a small sample on what can be done with brushes in, like, 120 seconds. Fast and simple!
Speak soon!
Silvia
P.S.
Let me know if you’d like to know how exactly I made the image above.

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.

I know, there’s probably nothing wrong with good old fashioned photo albums where you just stack your photos in.
However, today, with digital imaging and software like Photoshop it takes only so much effort to create cool, custom made, little works of art that will hold the images from your, your friends or your clients wedding. And when it’s printed out, this album will not just be a placeholder for your photos, it will be like a little book that you designed and it will be unique, the one and the only that looks like that. Your own photo book.
If you’re not a graphic designer or if you are not familiar with vector editing software or you just don’t have the time to create graphic decorations for such a custom photo album, but you’d still like to make your own albums – then you’re probably looking at the perfect solution.
With Photoshop brushes it’s only a matter of having Photoshop* (any version from 7.0 up to CS3), pressing F5 to get the Photoshop brushes palette on screen and applying the ones you like the most to the background.
Then just add the photos and – voila! Your custom wedding photo album is all done! No need to bother creating background decorations ’cause they’re here already. Still, it’s up to you to decide which ones to use. Also, you’ll need to adjust the size and pick the colors. This can all be done real fast. To make it even faster please refer to my post about PS Brushes shortcuts.
So, if you’d like to accept this challenge, I prepared a real big collection of Photoshop brushes for you to select from. 158 of them. And here is what this package contains:
- Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set, 32 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes Set, 42 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Swirled Frames Photoshop Brushes Set, 18 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Swirled Corners Photoshop Brushes Set, 20 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
- Designs Photoshop Brushes Set, 30 brushes, $9.99 | [preview]
Total value of these sets (if bought separately) would be $49.95
Then I created one special set of 16 brushes, added to the bunch [preview] and decided to give it away for free!
And, in the end, I thought I’d make it a special offer and sell it all together for $39.99
How about that for a deal?
:)
I knew you’ll like it!
Get your $49.95 bundle + 16 bonus Photoshop brushes at the reduced price: $39.99 –> here ->
* For those of you who don’t have Photoshop, you can still use this package. With a little help from THIS SOFTWARE you can export the brushes into .png format and use them in any other photo editing software. Paint Shop Pro, Gimp (which is free), or … just any, because they all work with .png formats.
