Whenever you are creating a kit or a layout, you might want to include or use some matching ribbons. Unfortunately, not all kits have them. If you are creating your own kits, then you will want to add such matching ribbons, but in the end, you tend to use the same type of ribbons, while you would prefer some variety.
You can use the Ribbon Factory script to create ribbons based on the color palette, but if you want to match some patterns used in the papers, you will need this script.
You can generate up to 50 ribbons per run, and although you pick the thickness of the ribbons and the papers to use as a base, the rest will be randomly decided by the script, so you will get a bunch of different ribbons. Keep the ones you like, discard the others.

As a sample, I am including 12 of the many ribbons that were generated in making the preview for the script. Using 6 papers from a kit from Janet Scott. You can find that paper kit HERE.
Each ribbon is 3600 pixels long and obviously match those papers.

If you liked to play with pipe cleaners when you were a kid, and loved making them into various shapes by twisting them, bending them, folding them, then you will LOVE these tubes. As tubes, you can just use your cursor and create them as long as you want, in any shape you want. You get a total of 12 different colors of pipe cleaners.
Did you get some pictures of your last Valentine Day with your valentine?
For a sample, I created a heart shape frame using a preset shape, and ran the VectorTube script to place the little hearts all along the shape. With a little shadow added, you have a fun frame. The shadow is only added to the chain, so you can add your own shadow to the whole frame if you want.
Threading your favorite ribbon manually around a frame is very tedious and hard to do precisely, but this script will allow you to do it using any straight ribbon you already have.
For a sampler, I simply am offering one layered template made with the lace ribbon in the preview. Everything is left on unmerged layers so you can use the template and modify it as you want. You can punch a whole in the center, or clip some fancy papers on it, or replace it by your favorite photo, like in the preview.
You can never have too many bows to embellish your projects. And since you can now create them from your own ribbons, you will have a perfectly matching element to attach to the ribbons.
For a sampler, I created 3 basic ribbons with a Valentine Day theme and ran the script. So you will get 3 straight ribbons (that you can run other scripts on) and 3 matching bows.
The Crochet Lace edges have been so popular in the past that I am back again with another set. These are extracted photos that needed to be edited to make them really seamless.
As a sample, I wanted to show you how the two directional lace tubes can be used to create circular elements.
You might have those lights, at home, to decorate your windows or your tree, but now, you can do the same with your digital projects (and no electric cost).
As a sample, I create another swag for the Holidays, made exclusively of tubes from PSP or from the store. You might recognize the light strings from last year (none of the light is burnt!).
In traditional paper scrapbooking, there are tools that allow the user to punch the corners into intricate shapes. They are great if you want to use the same size for all the projects you do. In digital scrapbooking (or card making), you now can use similar "punches" simply by using the eraser tool and those fancy "corner punches" shapes. This is the fourth set of those brushes.
As a sample, this week, I created this fun frame (and matching template so you can use it with other colors/papers/effects).
Although it is easy enough to purchase extracted flower petals, it is tedious to place them where you want, and even more if you want to scatter them randomly.
For a sample of these tubes, I created two frames made of petals. Each frame is almost 3600 pixels wide, so you can resize it as you need it.
If you need to have some butterflies on a project, you might be able to extract photos of realistic ones, but maybe you would prefer to have some that perfectly match your kit, or your project.
For a sample, I ran the script using the Birthday kit from Marisa Lerin, and tweaked the resulting butterflies to give them some 3D looks, in addition to changing the color of the body and adding an inner bevel.
