Using slats to showcase a photo makes for a fun and unique effect. However, creating slats manually is tedious, especially if you want them even or following a particular outline.
Using ready-made templates might work, but it might not suit your project, or your photo. Maybe half of the cat would be cut off, or the sun from the sunset, etc.
This script will allow you to create the outline, with the brush tool, or use a preset shape if you want. You also have several other options to customize your slats.

As a way for you to play around with slats (in case you never tried before), I made a large template (about 3000 pixels wide). It is in png format so you can probably use it in most graphic programs.

Slats are a fun way to display images as if we had multiple frames, but if you want to add a word or phrase, it makes for an even more custom display.
As a free sample, i converted the slats used in the preview into a template. You can use it for your own photo. Make it sideways if you prefer. Cut the slats if you have a wider image that is not as high. Be creative!
Do you like the look of a nice "official" seal to put on your project but can't find one in the color you want? Or would you like to find one that has the name of your child, or the name of the city you visited, or the specific date of your last vacation?
Since February is coming, and so is Valentine Day, I decided to create a few seals that you could use either on scrapbook pages about your loved one or on custom card or design you might create for him/her.
Sometimes, for the holidays, you need a little delicate touch. These charms are just what you need.

As a sampler, this week, I created a complete alphabet for you. It includes all the 26 letters, and some punctuation elements.
A lot of scrapbookers and designers love to create and use clusters, but the task is often daunting because of numerous repetitive tasks that seem to drain their creativity. So, why not have a script to give them a jumpstart?
As a samplers, this week, I used a kit from Hat of Bunny, Baby Mine. I ran the script to create a corner cluster for the bottom right corner.
