Design Resource: Shizoo Design

Before you check out this design resource I’m featuring, make sure your laptop batteries are fully charged or plugged in. Lol. You’ll be going gaga downloading cute stuff. Whenever I venture on this resource site, I always prepare myself for a downloading frenzy.

Trust me they have super cute stuff!

I found this site via Deviant Art and now they have their own website where your can get your fill of cute graphic goodness. I LOVE their brushes (especially those that look watercolored, text and grunge brushes). It’s also a must to check out their pattern and texture page. They are awesome, especially if you are looking for some cute background textures for a web or any graphic design projects.

In fact, this is where I get the backgrounds I use for my personal blogs.

The resource site I am raving about is Shizoo Design - your daily websource drug. You can also check out their Deviant Art page.

Design Resource: Web Treats ETC

I’m currently working on something nice for digital scrapbookers and will be posting it on my Tuesday Freebie next week. Yesterday, I had been browsing around for nice patterns, while I’m supposed to be looking for flexible metal hose! Sigh. No wonder I could never get anything finished on time, I get easily distracted. Anyway, while I was looking for seamless patterns I came across a website offering freebies – icons, textures, wallpapers, patterns, and even wordpress themes.

I downloaded a few of their patterns and I love it! Good quality patterns and especially if you love ‘vintage’ themed designs you’d love this site. And the best thing is that their freebies are free for personal or commercial work. The site is called Web Treats ETC and its worth bookmarking if you are a designing or scrapping enthusiast.

Crafting Resource: Lost and Taken

It would be a ‘crime’… well, almost, not to share this. This guy Caleb of Lost and Taken is just too talented and generous in sharing his wonderful, wonderful textures! I could easily get lost and float in texture happiness whenever I visit his blog! I’m sure every graphic designer, scrapbooker out there would be in wonderland if they visit the site.

If you love tinkering with Photoshop and in need of textures, go visit Lost and Taken. You’d definitely be taken hahaha. I’ll be posting a scrapping freebie soon made out of textures from L & T. For now I’m off to do a bit of research on term insurance. Ciao!
