Free Photoshop Brushes; Thank you At0mica

I have just found Atomica.net; one of the blogsphere's most popular contributers. The author, Heather (age 18), from Kansas - has done some amazing work - and will most likely continue to do so.

She offers free PhotoShop brushes for your downloading and PERSONAL use pleasure. While her primary focus does not seem to be Scrapbooking or Digital Scrapbooking - her stuff will apply.

You must read her terms and conditions before downloading, but you will love her work.

But please visit her site - support her growing career. She is an absolutely brilliant artist!

Some more Digital Scrapbook Layouts

What I especially like about these ones is that I asked both my son and my daughter to help me out by creating the images that inspired the pages.

For the "Basketball Diaries" page, my son drew the basketball that I have incorporated into the background paper and the main image center.

I scanned his drawing and turned it into a photoshop brush! That's it that's all.

Of course...I did go to town a bit on the "filters" side of things by texturizing the basketball with sandpaper pattern, and drop shadowing it. Oh and I used a brad I created for another set. And of course, I pasted my images "into" the open spaces of the main basketball.

Then, for the "You are My Sunshine" page - my daughter (5 years old) drew the sun that you see in the center. I turned that into a brush also.

I then created the doodle art flower background out of a flower embellishment I had made previously. AND, I created my own stitching brush (that you can see around the blue denim overlay across the top).

I am loving this. Its so rewarding and hightens our bonds greatly!



I highly recommend that you do this too if you enjoy working with Photo Editing Programs and creating your own digital scrapbooking elements.
