Do you sometimes wish you had a carpet background for a renovation or a decoration-themed project?
This script will allow you to convert any shape into a carpet. It could be letters, numbers, preset shapes or even designs you might have drawn by hand.
You can also choose any solid color, gradient or even patterns for your carpet.
There are 8 different textures you can choose from or you can let the script pick one at random for a surprise effect.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would create in carpet texture (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).
As a sampler, I created a series of simple digits using a gradient for the color. The textures are randomly picked by the script. Each digit is about 750 pixels high.

Buttons are often used in projects, whether it is to "fasten" elements, add to clusters or simply decorate a page, we always look for something new. This script will allow you to create up to 20 buttons in one run, and you can choose any color palette, so it will match your project.
As a freebie, I ran the script with a 6-color palette and generated 20 different buttons. Then, I thought of kids using a bunch of buttons to make frames, whether it is for an end-of-school project, Mother's Day, or just for fun, so I created such a frame with those 20 buttons (and a few duplicates). You get the frame and all the buttons so you can create matching decorations with the same buttons
In order to use hedges on your projects, you might have to rely on ready-made ones. Unfortunately, those might not be the length or the shape you need.
As a sampler, I created a lattice frame and added some of the "individual" picture tubes (since you would not see it if it were a full-height hedge! The full frame is a bit more than 1200 pixels per side. Use it to frame a photo or a quote or even some journaling.
Using a glitter tile can be a quick way to add glitters to a project, however, if you need that on a large surface, you might end up with a repeated pattern (even if it is seamless).
For a freebie, I generated a golden glitter sheet and used it to cut out a simple alphabet. Each letter is about 350 pixels. The original glitters paper (3600x3600 pixels) is also included for you to use to create other matching elements.
Now, for any type of celebration project, you can add balloons while writing a word, a number, a date or any other message.
For a sampler, I created a complete alpha (uppercase only) of red balloons. Each balloon is about 600 pixels high.
In order to create evenly spaced nested frames, you will need a lot of calculations. And if the focus area is not in the very center of your image, it means calculating the spacing separately for four sides. That can be a real challenge.
For this week's sample, I created a set of nested frames to fit a 7x5 inch image. Since the frames are white and have no bevel or shadows, you can flip them, mirror them or rotate them to fit your photo. Add whatever effect you want to the frames or use them to apply effects to the photo.
Have fun with words and dates by writing them using bingo balls.
As a sampler, I created a set of 11 bingo balls, for the 10 digits and a hyphen. I chose to use black and white so they would be neutral enough to be used in a variety of projects.
You can now create your own beads to perfectly match your project.
As a sample, I created a set of 15 beads using a single color palette (which is included in the zip file).
You can display your photos in regular square or rectangular shapes, but you can also use a starburst shape to make it a little different.
As a sampler, I created a template, just for you, with spots for 8 photos. Replace any of those photo spots by images but you can also replace them by patterned paper. Or you can play around with it as a template is just a starting point anyways.
It can be fun to turn various shapes into foliage or flowery bushes. This can be particularly suitable for garden-themed projects, whether it is a scrapbook page, a poster, or a card to someone with a green thumb.
This week, as a sample, I am offering you a full alphabet using the Hesperis flowers. Each character is about 700 pixels in height so you have plenty of room to resize them to suit your project.
