Sometimes, you want some copper elements but with a specific design, or shape that seems to be hard to find. But what if you can create it yourself?
This script will turn a black and white design into a copper element. You can even add some random rust to it (you know that oxidized copper is greenish, right?) but you can also make it a "new" copper element if you prefer a cleaner look.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what element you could create with copper? (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 fun alpha for you to embellish your projects. Use them as titles, to write names of people, places or events. What will you write?

Although you might want a regular pattern of brickwork, sometimes, some irregularities are wanted for a different look.
As a sample of what can be done with this script, I am offering you a set of three full-size brick walls, in monochrome colors that you can use for your summer projects. Use it as a background or cut it into a frame or other shapes you need.
In traditional paper scrapbooking, punches are available in a wide variety of shapes and designs, but in digital scrapbooking, those tools are inexistent. However, if you use the Eraser tool with these brush tips, it will do the same thing and you will get a great effect.
For a sampler, I created this delicate frame. It is in black but you know how you can colorize or paint it to suit your project. If you don't know, follow the instructions in 
Don't you think that your photo might deserve to be on the cover of a book telling a story? That is what this script will do. It will also be a fantastic tool for designers who create quick pages or templates, to showcase one of them and show that they have more than one page in the bundle.
As a free sampler, this week, I created these three fun paper cutouts for summer. Each piece is 4000 pixels long so you can use them across the whole width of your project, even at an angle.
Although it is fairly easy to create this type of patterns with triangles, it is also quite time-consuming and could require a great deal of precision too.
As a sampler, I created a full-size paper with primary colors (plus green which always seem to be "missing" from the three primary colors). This paper is saved in .png format so you can add another color underneath to get very different results. You can also adjust the brightness or the saturation for another option of changing the colors.
As a sampler, I created three full-size papers with some summer-y color gradients. You get three starburst papers and three matching gradients papers.
Using a straight ribbon and turning it into a zigzag with multiple folds can be a fun way to use the same ribbon in different ways on the same layout or to create consistency between several layouts in a project.
As a sampler, I started with a very long ribbon (5000 pixels) that I painted with a gradient. I thought it would be fun to see the gradient through the various folds. I repeated the effect with a different gradient, so you end up with two zigzag, but also the matching straight ribbons so you can use them elsewhere on your project.

As a sampler, I am sharing that heart shape pizza, all dressed. This is to show you how I appreciate your continuous support.
Who can say they have too many bows in their stash? Nobody! And these tiny bows are delicate and can be incorporated into just any project, cluster, or even on a photo itself.
As a sample, I generated a ton of little bows from papers from an old kit I had (Splashes of Sunshine from Bernadette Hunt). I liked the colors on the 4 papers. Since they were full size, I resized them to 2000x2000 to keep some of the brushes imprint visible on some of the bows. I generated many more but kept a dozen for you among those that had some interesting patterns to them.
Creating random shapes for one's project might be easy but the randomness, sometimes, is not as random as one would want simply because we tend to do things in similar ways over and over again. That is why this script can become a time saver as it will REALLY create random shapes for zigzags on separate layers and then, you pick and choose which ones you want to use and discard the rest. Easy!
As a sampler, I used one of those shapes and overlayed it on a white layer. Once they were merged, I added a gaussian blur and now, that shape can be used as a mask.
