Get Creative with Frames

Thursday July 29, 2010
Shelby Kate Schmitz is at it again! Her latest submission is a custom shape set with a whopping 60 frame and border designs. This is an all new set in addition to the 3 sets posted previously.
Free Frame and Border Custom Shapes - New for 2010

If you need some inspiration on how to use these shapes, she has also provided 6 frame example files in Photoshop PSD format for you to open on your computer and see how they are layered and combined with layer styles to create an endless variety of frame designs. Along with the PSD files of the frame examples, I have included transparent PNG files so those without Photoshop can still use them in projects.

We now have new gallery for digital finger paintings, thanks to a suggestion by Ruth Andre, who enjoys painting on her iPhone and uses woven forms for her inspiration. Come check out her work in this new gallery, and also see a few of my own modest doodles, plus a digital finger painting by my three and a half year old niece. I'd love to you what you all are creating on your touch screen devices, so don't be shy about submitting your own digital finger paintings.
