Who can say they have too many bows and ribbons? Not a scrapbooker! This script will let you tie a straight ribbon into a multi-loop bow, attached with a centerpiece. Each piece is left unmerged so you can tweak them separately if needed.
The script will also add a default drop shadow on the loops but all the shadows will also be left on separate layers so you can tweak them, adjust them or even replace them altogether.

For a sampler, this week, I used a starting ribbon from Janet Scott at Pixel Scrapper and modified it slightly (to make it straighter) and ran the script for the basic bow. Then, playing with the Hue map to change the colors from the base ribbon, I created 3 additional versions to run the script again. That will give you those 4 bows to use.

You can easily use a rusty texture image to add rust to your elements or shape, but rust is not always the same, right? So you would need to have many different images to have different types of rust.
This new script will allow you to slash images or shapes, in addition to add colors or patterns in various ways. Use this to create templates, add colors, make a monogram, and much more.
For a sample, I created a template made by running the script on a single plain back rectangle. This yielded this template that has random slashes. Use the Clip to It script to quickly fill those areas with your favorite photos very quickly.
Although paperclips can be common on various projects, they can also be boring. How about customizing your paperclip with a name, a date, a place or another message to make your project unique.
How about some simple clips to help date your photos?
This week, the script will let you create a puzzle from any element or design you want, whether they are letters, numbers, drawings, photos or shapes. Whatever you want on the puzzle, you can draw or paste.
This week, I created a full alphabet that you can use with any child theme project. You can even use the letters from the puzzle to spell out the name of someone (if they need more than one of the letters, add them in writing, so it is just like you would do in real life, missing one letter).
This script will allow you to create a custom-made wooden puzzle with any text you want. You can add a really unique look by choosing any font, and also any color, gradient, pattern or combination of those.
This is that time of year with the holidays coming up, and this sample puzzle will spell the word Christmas using a funky font. The whole puzzle is in .pspimage format, so you can move the individual pieces around. Furthermore, all the layers are grouped so you can copy and paste the whole puzzle onto another project. You can ungroup all the layers OR simply rearrange the pieces you want to move, above the group so they will display their thickness correctly.
Directional tubes are perfect to create decorative elements in any length and shapes. These are no exception. They are extracted from silky braids and tweaked to be directional and as seamless as possible. You get 12 different colors of silky braids to use in various ways, to create straight trims and frames.
For a sample, this week, I created a triple frame but also included the individual frames so you can use them separately. I simply started with a vector ellipse and ran the VectorTube script. I changed the size of the ellipse every time to have different size of frames without resizing the frames (or the trims) themselves.
Instead of starting with a fixed photo shape and ending up with an odd sized frame, how about starting with the final frame size and working your way back to the size of the individual images.
Since everyone loves to display their own photos, I am offering you the layered template in .pspimage version of the frame showcased in the preview. Each photo spot is part of a mask group so that you just have to copy and paste your photo inside that group for it to show through. No need to select, or delete anything.
Nobody ever has too many ribbons, bows and knots in a toolbox. This script allows you to create a layered knot from any straight ribbon. Whether you have an opaque ribbon or a translucent one, or even a lacy one. Whether your design is simple or even directional, and the script will align the elements correctly. Although you need a ribbon that is 18 times its thickness to get the full effect (with directional design mostly), you can have great alignment of the design.
As a sampler, I am offering you the same knots as in the preview. I edited the files so that the whole knot is one layer and the back loop is on a separate layer. That should allow you to insert something in that loop.
Do you sometimes want to use an accordion fold on an image or a roadmap? It is a fun way to display an image but it can be quite tedious to complete accurately. You need to measure, cut, skew, and align each piece correctly. In addition, there is also a matter of light and dark on each piece to make them consistent with the light source.
Since this script is applied directly to a photo that is yours, you likely would not care for a sample from my photos. So I decided to create a few straight ribbons in Halloween colors, and run them through the Knot #13 script. You now have 3 straight ribbons and 3 matching knots to embellish your own Halloween themed projects. What will it be?
