Gang,
So many of you asked me about the download links from previous GBG eZines. So, I guess, this May/June edition will answer your questions.
This issue includes download links from previous issues.
Also, for those of you who are still considering becoming Graphics-Illustrations Facebook fans, here is what we prepared for you:
And this …
So, as I said before, May/June 2009 GBG eZine is out, this one contains download links from previous issues, a total of 12 FREE commercial use Photoshop brushes sets AND one brand new set.
That’s because I just need to give you something new in each issue of GBG eZine.
The new one is called Anniversaries!
It is totally free and comes with commercial use license too.
One last thing that comes in the latest edition of GBG eZine is one background. I called it Floral Green.
So, that’s all for today folks! I hope you will like it.
Have fun creating and don’t forget to give a hug to the first person you see. Tell ‘em I kindly asked you to do so, so you just had to :)
Love ya’ all!
Silvia
P.S.
And don’t forget to take a peek at my little Photoshop brushes shop!
In this shop you will find stuff that will:
1. make your design endeavors much much easier

Gang,
I hope you enjoyed latest free downloads from my blog and for today I prepared something special for professionals, scrapbookers and graphic design enthusiasts.
Banner designs! 5 Swirls – Banners Vector Pack!
Why would you need them? For a number of purposes.
They will come more than handy next time you do:
- anniversary designs
- birthday greeting card designs
- photo frames for scrapbooking
- wedding albums
It will be a piece of cake to do all this because you’ll have these banners with swirls to help you out here! In’nit?
[ PREVIEW 5 Banner pack (vectors and bitmaps) HERE ]
Also, you could use parts of them swirls or modify it for all kind of different design purposes and that’s going to be easy too because they come in vectors too.
So, here are the formats included:
- 5 eps banner files
- 5 ai banner files
- 5 cdr banner files
- 5 png banner files
The price of this vectors package is $19.99, they come with commercial license so you are welcome to use them in your commercial projects for, like, ever!
[ GET 5 Banner pack (vectors and bitmaps) HERE ]
And for those of you who are still not sure, here is a quick comparison:
1 (one) vector banner with limited commercial use costs $5 – $10 on microstock agencies (for instance Stockxpert or iStockphoto).
So, getting directly from the artist is (like in this case), obviously much cheaper – and with this purchase you save $5 to $30 :)
Still not convinced?
Here is what other buyers say about my products ->
And that’s it. I know you’re just gonna love them! Let me know if you need any help or assistance.
Hugs,
Silvia
P.S.
And in the end, you will get this package FOR FREE if you purchase 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET by 5th of June 2009!

Hi Gang!
Ii this post we will present one quick page sample from Carolyn.
She used 5 different Photoshop Brushes sets: 1. Borders stencils set (Free LITE edition), 2. Negative Films and slides (Free LITE edition), 3. Photo Masks (Free LITE edition) – free download available after the GBG subscription. Rest of the brushes were newsletter edition Photoshop Brushes sets and were available only for GBG members: 4. Swirled Birds and 5. Floral Branches.
Floral Branches set is very very similar to the bonus set which comes with the Ultimate Wedding Photography PS Brushes Pack (158)!
We are publishing our Newsletter twice a month now, and in the next issue you will get links to all Newsletter only Photoshop Brushes sets!
Also, one more announcement: If you are looking for specific brushes which are not available on the net. Let me know and we’ll see what can be done. You can do that on Graphics-Illustrations Facebook page.
Love,
Silvia

Poofitzah is celebrating her ninth month! In fact, we are not sure about the exact birth date because she was a stray cat… but we believe that she was born sometime between 15th and 25th of August :)
So, to honor the occasion, I uploaded some new photos of Poofitzah here –>>
And after this short photo session, I made this cute little Digital Scrapbook Quick Page.
You will notice “Approved by Poofitzah” special seal. This means that she spent quite some time observing and studying the final product before she meowed in content and proceeded with her eternal fight with bugs, insects and everything else that moves. It was like that ever since she was just a little kitty :D
So, when I finally got her approval, I was free to publish it! And now it’s here. It’s here for you to download it, use it with your own text/images and have fun!
This Scrapbook Quick Page set is free and it comes in 8″x8″ size at 250 dpi – meaning it’s ready for print!
So, in the new Quick Page I used my two of my PREMIUM Photoshop Brushes sets: Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32) and Photoshop Brushes: Valentine’s – Second Edition (21+21)
[ DOWNLOAD Lazy Days Digital Scrapbook Quick Page - PSD (23MB) ] or [ DOWNLOAD Lazy Days Digital Scrapbook Quick Page - ZIP (5MB) ] Sorry, 5 days subscription free download offer expired. Download is now available after joining GBG. Please read about our free download policy and join our GBG for more free downloads. Thanks!

Text is also there in PSD, but rasterized… so, if you need that kind of a typography please go check the DaFont – free font site. I used Beyond Wonderland font.
I hope you will enjoy it!
Love,
Silvia

Gang,
It’s been a while, I know, but I’ve been so busy with the Graphics-Illustrations Facebook page (and your response there was so enormous) that time just flew by.
I don’t know if I mentioned that, but among other stuff that I do (like preparing a free Photoshop brush download for my Facebook page fans) I also prepare a book about Photoshop brushes. Working title is: Photoshop Brushes Cookbook. It is an old idea, I started it a long time ago and just recently I decided that I need to sit and get to it seriously.
Among other staff mostly recipes on how to use Photoshop brushes, book will come with a DVD that contains all my free brushes ever published and, of course, some new brushes so that there will be 101 PS brush set there.
The idea was to inspire the reader with various samples of Photoshop brushes usage.
Then, the trouble started, I realized that, if use Photoshop of free brush viewer that I use, I just cannot manage all those brushes efficiently, it took too long to preview and organize them.
So, I decided I need to search the Internet for the right brush Viewer and manager.
And I found it! The name of the software is Preset Viewer, it is done by a nice couple who run a company called Tumasoft and it searches the system for brush (.abr), but not just brush, it looks for pattern (.pat), custom shape (.csh), swatch (.acb, .aco, .act, .ase), style (.asl), compositions (.psd), and image (.bmp, .jpg, .png, and more) files and quickly sorts them for display.
Here are some of the features of Preset Viewer when working with brushes, patterns, etc … :
- offers thumbnails, fimstrip and tiled modes, each with three different size options for a total of nine different viewing options.
- Preset Viewer allows you to view any images embedded in a brush or style seperately so you can really “see” what you are looking at
- simple-to-use keywording interface
But, let’s not just recite it’s features. Just head over to the Preset Viewer user guide and see it for yourself.
Do I need to say that I highly recommend it?
If you are Photoshop brushes addict and anything close to Photoshop brushes heavy user, you’re gonna appreciate what this software has to offer.
But, just before you go there, here is a little code for you. Mr. Tuma was kind enough to offer this code which will reduce the price of Preset Viewer from $37 down to $26. CODE: GI-ROCKS
OK. That’s it for today. Don’t ask me when will book be over. Might be sooner than you think :) But still, I haven’t forgotten about you so for the next time I promise more cool stuff! Until then, play with the brushes, create nice stuff and let me know if you’d like to see your work featured on this blog*.
Until then, love you all,
Silvia
P.S.
I will definitely feature your work if it involves some of my free or commercial brushes.

We decided to split our GBG Newsletter in half, so the beginning of May was totally hectic as I needed to work on some new ideas. :)
Anyways, all is finished now, Newsletter is out and we decided not to brag about it anymore… ok, just a little bit:
The trees you see see in the background of this graphic are actually new free Photoshop brushes for GBG members. Of course, you are invited too :)
Remember Tammy’s email I was telling you about in the post Romantic? She really amazed us with her creativity. And guess what? Tammy did it again!
Boy, I think we should all learn from her. This time again, she used a brush from my Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set … and she made a label for the chocolate box that was a gift … anyways, here’s what she did and how she did it in her own words:
“We added some text and printed it on a full size sticker (available at office supply stores). We used the sticker as a label on a box (a circuit board had previously occupied the box!) We filled the box with green shredded paper, and chocolate covered strawberries, and it was delivered with a bouquet of balloons as a 17th birthday gift for Casie – my son Chase’s girlfriend.”
Now, that’s awesome!
Not just because Tammy expressed her creativity here, but also because it is really great when you give something that you made yourself. When the person who get’s the gift actually sees that you dedicated your time and prepared something special just for her. It is so much more than just hopping on to the store and buying it already wrapped up. (Unless, of course, it is a gift for a kid which is a different story … :)
Mmmmm…. strawberries in chocolate! :D
More and more of you are sending me emails, sharing your ideas and creativity and I am truly thankful for that. So, in this post I want to use the opportunity and present Nina.
Nina is a Filipino-American now living in Croatia and she used Photoshop Brushes for her Christian Paper Crafts Magazine. As you can see on her site, Nina too is very, very creative woman. Great work Nina! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!
Gang, that’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it! Love each other, hug each other and have fun creating!
Yours,
Silvia
