Guys, I’ve been in graphic/web design business for many many years (will not tell the exact number of years ’cause I don’t want to say how old I actually am :), ok, I’m 37 and I’m doing graphics/web design for all of my professional life. Which started early. So, go figure. We’re talkin’ loads of experience here. And I’m still amazed, every day, how many of you actually realize the real value of brushes in design.
Being it professional work or scrapbooking for your kids, friends or family – it’s the same thing. We all love them. And for a good reason too. PS brushes are probably the best way to do great stuff for people who want to, well, do great stuff. :)
And I realized how many of you would actually like to get more brushes. But getting all of them would be a bit pricey. I mean there are 22 Ultimate versions of full Photoshop brushes packs in my shop, worth $219.78 (if bought individually).
So, what’s my offer? Get them all. For half the price.
Now, go figure. Half of $219 is $109.5. So, you get access to each and every one of them, with commercial license for, like, what … $4.99!?
And since this is a brand new offer that I’m introducing today, I will give additional $10 bonus for each purchase made this month (July). So, if you order now, your price will not be $109.5 either! With this bonus it just came down to $99.5! – Offer has expired
UPDATE: Floral Signs is 23th Photoshop Brushes set in my collection. So, should you decide to go for the all-round package of 22 brushes, you’ll get this one for FREE – in August only :)
Can’t get much better than that. You already know what value I’m talking about here. So, get 22 FULL Hi-Quality Ultimate Photoshop brushes packages (we’re talkin 700+ HiRes brushes in total) with commercial license for half the price now! + Newest Floral Sings set for FREE –>
Love,
Silvia

Gang,
I know it’s been a while since I created my last set, but if you’re a frequent visitor, you’ll know I always need to come out with quality stuff. And quality doesn’t come quick no matter what they say :)
So, I know you will appreciate this because you know the value of vectors and how much flexibility they allow.
Anyway, to make the long story short, ladies and gentleman, today I proudly present you
35 Swirls and Stars Vector set
And these vectors are delivered in:
- .ai (of course Adobe Illustrator brush, all CS versions)
- .eps format
- .cdr (Corel 8.0 up to X4)
- .psd (Photoshop 7.0 up to CS3)
- .png (so you can easily use them in any photo editing software)
- .ai (Vector format for Adobe Illustrator 8 onwards)
So, 35 totally new vectors will make your life a whole lot easier. Whether you do scrap booking, graphic, web or print design, these will put you on the fast track in your projects!
You won’t have to waste time on creating these swirls from scratch and if you ever did similar work in Illustrator or Corel you know how much time it takes just to create one decent swirl decoration. And here you get 35 of them!
PREVIEW and BUY 35 Swirls and Stars Vector set in my shop!
Of curse, never forget to have fun creating!
Yours,
Silvia
P.S.
And if you wish, you can always convert them into Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro brushes. Load them into Photoshop (.png file), go to Edit -> Define brush preset, give it a name and voila! In addition to vectors, you got Photoshop brushes!
Also, if you want you can even modify these vectors in Ilustrator or Corel and make new swirls out of them.
P.P.S.
Anyway, if you have any questions about using them, converting them, modifying or applying them, I’m here to help you out :)
P.P.P.S.
In case you had any doubts – commercial license is included.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t handle hot weather well! I mean, I love summer, light dresses and stuff, but I live on the top floor!!! Living under the air-conditioner is not very healthy, so I don’t turn it on very often.
Next weekend, we just might escape from the city and head to the coast again, to wet our feet in the sea :)
Today, I selected one beautiful greenish combination to cool-off the day :)
The name of the artist is Tina Chambers.
She used:
- Floral DUO Photoshop Brushes set,
- Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set
- Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set
and made this beautiful scrapbook kit. The name of the kit is “Be a Dreamer”. I surely can identify with this one.
Another great new kit form Tina Chambers is “Fancy Pants”, created using Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set and Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set. Elegant and fancy, the name says it all :)
Stay well, keep smiling, check out Tina Chambers gallery on Digital Scrapbook Place and…
… have fun creating :)

Huh! I bet you never heard of Istria :)
It is a small peninsula on the Adriatic coast in Croatia. Huh! I bet you heard about Croatia. It is a small Country bordering Italy (just across the sea). Croatia is about to become a next member of the European Union.
So, I took a few shots with my camera to share them with you:
The coast is really nice, old fishing villages still wear that traditional ambient. Was quite hot, around 95°F (35°C). Anyway, as we all know image speaks a thousand words, so enjoy my little video:

Gang,
I am totally overwhelmed seeing all that beautiful samples of your work with my brushes :)!
Today, we have interesting red-blue combination paper design (which one reminds me of Summer) with Swirls 2 Photoshop brushes set!
Lauren is Head/Senior Designer at Digital Scrapbook Place, and what’s really interesting – she is from New Zealand! Woohoo! The land of the Lord of the Rings! And far away …
And here it is, the whole “Afternoon Delight” set sample:
Just a few seconds ago, while writing this post I noticed that Digital Scrapbook Place is using Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set (or maybe Vector Swirls Set, I’m not sure) in their header! That’s great!
Take a look at Laurin’s product gallery and, as always, have fun creating!

As I promised, today I will present you another great artist that uses Photoshop brushes in their work.
This time we talk about Courtney from skittlesandscraps.blogspot.com. Her blog is a great resource for scrapbook kits and I love her work!
And I will say no more. Here is what she said:
“I found your brushes back before I started designing. I love them and am always amazed at the variety. I use your brushes in almost everything I do, but this is my most recent and most favorite paper and some stickers using your Floral DUO brushes.
Thanks to your inspiration, I was just offered a position as a digital scrapbook designer.
Thank you so much!
Courtney”
What can I say? I’m speechless! If this is not a reason for happiness than I don’t know what is. Courtney, you just made one person happy! Thank you!
And here is one small sample of her work, a paper where she used my Floral DUO brushes! Isn’t it great?!
And one more:
Love ya’
Silvia
P.S.

I did not have to wait for too long to hear from you guys. The response I got from designers and artists who use my brushes in their work was great. But, don’t let that discourage you, send me your works, or links to your works where you used my brushes and will feature them here on this blog (remember 3000+ visitors daily).
So, the first artist of the day, ladies and gentleman, is Kathi! Kathy used Swirls Floral brushes set (42 brushes) in her paper design:
Kathi sells her designs at Funky Playground Designs, and these indeed are beautiful designs.
I’m always happy to hear how designers are using my brushes for their designs. I’m even happier when I learn that they successfully sell their designs. Not because they make money with it, but because selling means recognition. When they sell their staff it is a recognition. A proof that they’re good at what they do. And the fact that my brushes helped them achieve that, that’s makes me even more happy!
Not to mention how happy these designers are when their work gets recognized :)
So, stay well, in my next post I will write about another great artist that successfully applies Photoshop brushes in their work. In the meantime, check for more Photoshop brushes and other design resources, I’m sure you’ll find interesting stuff for your future designs.
And … don’t forget about the most important thing: Have fun creating!
