Up for grabs today is an assortment of 10 different photoshop patterns in .pat format. It's a mixed bag with varying image quality.  Some are cardboard or paper bag-ish, some vintage, distressed or just plain grungy. Leave a comment if you like them, and I'll make more! :D 

What came to mind when creating these gradients:  Warm Summer Sunshine, Concord Grapes, Peaches, Vibrant Green Tropical Sea Water, Peach Sea Shells and allmost the color of a Vintage Truck. Comment if you like them.  ::Enjoy::

Well, the power cycled off the other night and the internet went with it. When the power came back on we had no DSL for several hours! It was way too cold to bead -- wrapped up in a blanket with gloves just to keep warm. (Record lows here).  So I came up with these free styles during the internet down time.  I hope you enjoy them! 

With the newer versions of gimp, one is able to use Photoshop .abr in addition to Gimp .gbr brush format without installing any extra scripts.  Because of this, many gimp users may not be looking on the web for .gbr brushes.  I'm super excited to share this mambo list of fabulous high quality exclusive gimp brushes. Some of which are colored pipes as shown in the screenshot of my brushes palette above.

This is an uber easy lightbox trick for those who are comfortable editing their blogger template code. After implementing this script, you will have automatic lightbox for your images without the need to add rel="lightbox" to your images within posts!
