The T-Shirt that I designed with a little help of my Flying (Scribbler) Hearts Photoshop brushes on Zazzle just arrived!!!
And wow, it looks good :)
I washed it yesterday, and took the iPhone Hipstamatic photo :) But, it looks better than on this photo and better than the image in my Zazzle shop!
This T-Shirt was created with a little help of my Free Photoshop brushes (Digital Stamps): Scribbler Hearts, available for download on Digital Scrapbooking Source ->
Hanging hearts are also my brushes, but these are not available for download, yet. I still keep them for myself ;)
However, there are loads of high quality Photoshop brushes (w/commercial license) available in my little Shop of Wonders :) so feel free to visit ->
The quotation on the T-Shirt is by Frida Kahlo and it says: Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?
“Flying hearts” T-shirt is available in my Zazzle Shop, and I’m gonna wear it at tonight’s party!
Enjoy your day and have fun creating,

Memories, burning, gold memories …
This is from one old Simple Minds song, back in the 80′s. Not many people remember that.
Well… anyways.
By the way, I don’t know about you my blogs gets tons of spam messages daily (spammy comments), and mostly are pharmacy related! And what is most interesting – I receive about 50-80 comments for prescription and non-prescription drugs! Can you imagine? Pffff…!!!
And what’s really bothers me is that I don’t have the time to check them all out one by one (through my spam comment folder), so the only option is to delete them all together. Now, when I think back, I figure it’s even possible that there were some nice friendly comments in my spam folder, but since I got rid of all comments in my spam folder, I guess I’ll never now! Hopefully, there was just spam there.
Ok, back to memories. This is really cool for scrap booking. I mean it’s cool for all kinds of graphic design projects as well, but scrap booking is kinda all about memories .
So, this time I prepared a brand new frames and I gave them the weirdest name ever :)

All packed in one nice zip file which is available in my little shop for $9.99 only and it includes commercial license!

People get married!
I bet you are stunned now :)
But, there is another thing going on here. While we are at it, we take pictures, and on the top of it – we (more often then not) make wedding albums!
We all want our wedding albums to look good. And while I was preparing to make one for a friend of mine, I figured I need to decorate the border around the photo. Actually, I needed to frame the photo in the wedding album.
So, I made several frames, few of them, just for my personal use. And then I realized – BANG! Now, that’s something others might be interested in having too! Decorate a photo, add a frame, c’mon, it’s basics of wedding albums (and photo albums after all).
You guessed the rest of the story. I ended up by making 25 wedding photo frames! In order to preserve the quality and my long ago set standards, all of them are initially made in vectors and then transferred to Photoshop brushes and PNG files.
So, ladies and gentleman, my dear visitors, if you would like to make wedding photo album yourself, for your own, or your friends, brothers, sisters wedding or for your clients (if you are a photographer or graphic designer), or if you’d like to make a wedding photo album for re-sale, there you go – a perfect time saver with commercial license included.
Let me present you:
Wedding Photo Frames (squares) Photoshop brushes (digital stamps) and transparent PNG files!
About the set:
- 25 wedding photo frames in three sizes for 2,5×2,5 – 3,5×3,5 – 4,5×4,5 inches photos
- 25 transparent PNG files for 4,5×4,5 inches photo
- Compatible with Adobe Photoshop (ver. 7.0 up to CS5), Photoshop Elements, PaintShopPro, Paint.NET and more…
- Commercial use OK!
Photo frames are created in “grungy” style, hearts, swirls, flowers and appropriate wordings around the frames: “Love”, “Love is the Foundation”, “for Time and all Eternity”, “perfect love”, “Forever Begins Today”, “a beautiful moment”, “our love will not die” and more… Those cute picture frames are ideal for wedding photo albums and wedding digiscrap!

Yes, as always, I prepared a a FREE lite edition of Wedding Photo Frames digital stamps/Photoshop brushes set (scrapbook stamp freebies): there are 3 brushes in a set. These are smaller size than the ones in the PREMIUM package, but still good enough for on-line wedding albums.

…happiness… happiness… happiness… isn’t that what we all are searching for?
And aren’t we happy once we find happiness? :)
Aren’t we sad when we lose it?
OK. That’s enough!
Here is what I’ve got for you today:
Now, here is what I think. There is no need to be hilarious all day. Just smile and feel how good it feels :)
I don’t know about you, but I love to smile. Really love to smile :) and usually when someone approaches me – I smile. It’s not like I’m forcing myself into that. No sir.
It comes out by itself.
I just… smile!
And sometimes, non-smiling people don’t like smiling people. Trust me, I had few nasty scenes with people I even don’t know – only because I was smiling. But, this is not a story about them. This is a story about a smile, happiness, laughter :) and my new Photoshop brushes set (some prefer to call them digital stamps) is dedicated to those simple things (which matter the most).

Popularity: 2% [?]
Whenever, someone buys 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET I offer additional free SPECIAL brush as a sign of gratitude to those who let me know how did they find me.
And I am thankful to all of you who replied. But, more often than not, many buyers also tell me why did thy buy that set. Now, that’s how I learned that many of my buyers are in Rubber Stamps business.
That is why it is important to them that my Photoshop brushes come with the commercial license (“Photoshop brushes CU OK”)
I did some investigation on Rubber stamps on the net and it seems like there is a money earning opportunity in Rubber Stamping. One way to make money with it is to create greeting cards for all kind of occasion, other one is to sell the rubber stamps. These brushes are not just used for Rubber stamps or greetings cards. They are also used for creation of customized gift items, such as bags or similar.
Number of independent rubber stamp designers are making money with their stamps (created with CU Photoshop brushes), and this number is growing. They sell their products via Etsy or similar web sites.
One of the main advantages is that even complete beginners achieve great results with rubber stamps in a very short time.
So, for those of you who are still not sure, I fully support all kinds of business ventures anyone comes up with, and I am always delighted to hear success stories, especially when my brushes had a role to play. If you are considering buying 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET, you can rest assure that you are allowed use them for your business ventures, whatever they are, as long as you don’t just repackage the brushes and sell them as brushes again.
OK. That’s it for today.
Love you all and, as always, never never forget, have fun creating, because whatever you do, it will always turn out well if you had fun doing it.
Yours,
Silvia

And now, something special for this special time of the year! Christmas is a great chance, for all of us, to show our friends and family how much we love them and how much we appreciate them. And the best way to say that, still is and will always be, good old – Christmas Card.
But, for some of you, just like me, buying a Christmas card in the store and putting few words on it just isn’t enough!
We can do better than that! We want to have the option to change and customize the front side of the card as well :) We want to be able to give our personal touch to the greeting card. And some of you might even want to print and sell Christmas cards to earn some extra cash for Christmas!
And this is where Graphics-Illustrations Photoshop Christmas card templates come in!
I prepared 6 Photoshop Christmas card templates with following features:
- Photoshop (7.0 up to CS4 compatible) layered files so you can customize them, give them your personal touch and tweak them as you wish
- They are accompanied with .jpg files so you can edit them in Paint.NET or GIMP or Photo Paint or Photoshop Elements or in just about any decent bitmap/photo editing software
- They come in dimensions of 2400px x 1800px at 300dpi – which makes them ready for print
- They come with unlimited Commercial license, so you can print and sell them – no strings attached
Also, should you plan to send these to printing company, I also left some bleed on the corners. The dimensions in inches are 5″x7″ (6″x8″ with bleed). Believe me, printing companies will love you for that because, thanks to that bleed there will be no risk from the white lines on the edges after cutting.
I used to sell cards like these through micro stock agencies where I sell my photos.
But, then I figured, in a typical micro stock agency for card templates you would pay anywhere between $2 (for web size 72dpi cards) up to $50 if you plan to print them in large amounts.
So, instead of paying a fortune for unlimited commercial use, hi-res, print ready Christmas card templates, go figure, mine are $2.95 away from freebie. Now, that’s a small distance.
No brainer really. Especially if you consider:
- what a time saver these are,
- what are the possibilities,
- how much fun it is to work with them
- the fact that now you can make your own, customized Christmas card real fast, in no time
Anyways, before you make your picks from the selection below, please bear in mind: when purchased individually the price is $2.95 each. That makes $17.7 for the whole 6 pack. However, if you select all of them AND use the COUPON CODE GICS999 on the checkout -> YOU WILL GET ONE OF THEM FOR FREE!
Now, why did I come up with a discount on already small price? Beat’s me! I guess it’s the southern wind.
If you select all of them, you are entitled to use the COUPON CODE (GICS999) at the checkout and get one of them FREE ($2.95 DISCOUNT)! You will be prompted for the coupon code on the checkout.
OK. Here are the 2010 Christmas Card Templates. 6 of them. You can select some of them or you can select all of them and one will be for free!
* To use PSD files with Paint.NET you will need to get PSD plugin.
