You can now create your own beads to perfectly match your project.
This script will randomly generate up to 15 beads using a color palette of up to 6 colors. Each bead will have a fine design on it and every bead will be slightly different.
Beads will range from 150 to 300 pixels in length.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling how you tend to use beads in your projects (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 sample, I created a set of 15 beads using a single color palette (which is included in the zip file).
You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either log in or register on the top of this page.
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.
It is always fun to have a variety of ribbons to accompany our project but using ready-made ones, might not always match. Adjusting the color is possible but it is tedious. And if you are talking about multicolored ribbons, then it is a full-blown headache.
For a sample, I am sharing 14 of the ribbons generated using the color palette in the preview. They are nice spring-like colors, so you now will have access to another set of matching ribbons.
A dispersion effect can be added to any photo to give a unique impression of power or explosion.
Since this script would likely be applied to your own photo, I simply ran it on greyscale digits. Since they are in greyscale, you can colorize them any way you want to use it in your own project.
If you want to create new patterned papers, you can draw them yourself or use a readymade template. However, while using this script, you can create many more seamless tiles, using a single color palette of your choice. This will speed up the process.
As a sampler, you can get these 10 seamless designs showcasing soft spring colors.
You can create wet paint drips manually, but it is quite tedious to do. In addition, how can you ensure that your drips will be perfectly straight?
As a sampler, I had fun creating this multicolored alphabet with dripping paint.
You can now have a corkboard to add any note, memo, paper, or even some lost and found objects. And even better, that board can be any shape you want.
For a sampler, I created individual digits using the font Rolipoli, which is a fat font, in order to give enough room to pint elements. Each element is about 1000 pixels in height and in PNG format.
You can have fun with various designs that you can draw with simple or complex outlines or paint and draw with colors and turn that into a detailed and colorful mandala design.
As a sampler, I created this mandala design using the brush tool drawing with a 10 pixels line all over. The end result is in png format so you can color it. As a tip, if you want to paint, do it on a separate layer UNDER the design so you won't paint over the line (actually, you can paint "on" the lines, but if it is underneath, it won't show).
When you want to create background papers, it is easy to create seamless tiles. However, it might be tedious to create your own design every time and you might also end up running out of ideas.
As samplers, I generated a few tiles and saved them for you in .pspimage format so you can use only one of the layers if you want, or even combine them between tiles.
