Accordion Mini w/Custom Cover - re release of the April EWCC goodie, the wallet book template 

*[As of December 2011 all the free downloads are available through email only. To get exclusive access to past, present & future monthly free downloads check out the EW Couture Goodies List.]

Miller's Lab have upgraded their Accordion Wallet Books and reintroduced them as Accordion Minis. They can be ordered with Custom Cover Satin and Metallic covers. Also, when you order in sets of 3, you have the ability to now upload three different designs for each Mini in your order, which I think it is pretty cool.

I am really excited  and honored to be joining Miller's Lab Design Market team, while continuing to grow the list of offerings through EW Couture Collection as well!
All my neatly carved out plans were turned upside down this past several months by sickness and the little babe. I am sure looking forward to slow down the pace of life, cut down the number of projects I'm focusing on and finally bring to life all the stuff that's been waiting to go past the sketch stage. :)

...So, to celebrate that and the little baby boy I've decided to re release April's accordion mini photo templates (download here the 2.5x3.5 accordion mini created with WHCC guides - 300 dpi). The little brag book has been probably one of the best received from the series of free marketing photography templates released to date. 

Here it is now, with files neatly prepared for Miller's Lab guidelines, a 2.5x3.5 Accordion Mini and a 3x3 Accordion Mini version of the template.

To download the template files for Miller's, for both the 2.5x3.5 Accordion Mini and 3x3 Accordion Mini click here. *[As of December 2011 all the free downloads are available through email only.

Included with this download there are also 2 HiRez Photoshop Brushes :: Seamless & Grunge (EWCCDamask.abr)
* Here is a link to a short tutorial that explains how you can upload your photoshop brushes, should you be in need of some help for that.
* If you feel creative and would like to make your own photoshop brushes, here is a great tutorial for that.

I spotted them being used for blog backgrounds and such. Here is another way they could be used, as a photo overlay.

Might seem like such an obvious answer to some - but I'm just starting out and am curious how to get my brush as large as it is in the example picture with the baby....when I enlarge the brush to the largest (2500 px) it still isn't large like the photo above...help???

erin, that's right - the brush was created to be 2500px @ 300 dpi.
you can apply the brush on a separate layer in your document once, and then make one or more copies of the layer. adjust (move) the position of the layer copies to create the seamless pattern. I usually flatten all the brush layers together once I get the pattern the way I want it.

hope this helps.

This portrait is amazing!! Thank you again for all your inspirations and "freebies". You have no idea how much they have helped me as a new photographer entering the scene. It's so nice to have someone out there that is really truly interested in helping us succeed.
Thanks again
