There are so many ways to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase to a project. This script will let you choose a main word/date to place in the center, with your choice of font. In addition, you can select the words to add in the top and bottom corners.
The end result will be on separate layers so you can change the colors of each section individually if you want.
Get this in the store: Datestamps 13
In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling me what you might write other than a date in these stamps (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 set of "blank" datestamps with the days of the week. You can add whatever you want in the center area. Since they are all in greyscale, you can colorize them however you want.

It might be easy to create a swatch palette in PaintShop Pro, but if you are starting with a large number of colors, it can be tedious. And referring to the same image whenever you are working on a project can also be annoying.
As a sampler, I used the color palettes for the next three blog trains in the DigitalScrapbook.com forum and converted them into palettes you can simply add to your PSP. Two versions of the palettes are available: one for versions 9-X6 (identified with V9 in the name) and one for versions X7 and up (identified with VX7 in the name). Unzip the ones you need for your version and save the files (or the whole folder for versions X7 and up) in the Swatches folder of your PSP. Since they are different for different versions, don't put everything in the same place, if you have earlier and older versions of PSP referring to the same content folder. If needed, simply put them in the default folders, in Documents.
Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.
For a freebie, I used some cute animal cliparts and converted them into diamond paintings. Each one is fairly large so you can size them down as needed.
You can create gold and silver chains with various picture tubes available in the store, and now, you can add colored pearls to your jewelry box.
For a sampler, I created a set of digits using the red pearls. Each digit is about 550 pixels high, so you can resize them as needed.
With graphic programs, we can manipulate images in ways that the camera itself cannot do. With this script, you can add streaks from your image, to convey a sense of movement, speed, or displacement. Then, you can also manipulate those streaks to give some wave effects, to show elements through, to fade its colors, etc. So many ways this can be manipulated.
For a sample, of course, I cannot use my photos as they would likely be useless to you. So I decided to create some stitched ribbons for you using the Two-Tone Stitches from last week. I started with a basic greyscale ribbon, added the stitches on both edges, added texture, bevel, and shadows, and then, with the warp brush, I modified the stitching line so it would follow the uneven edges of the ribbon, for a more "realistic" look.
Travel tags are one of those types of tags that can really mean a lot of things. Whether you actually traveled and want to showcase the various cities or airports you went to, or just want to use the tag as an element to add something more personal, this script will help you.
As a sample, I created four tags, one for each season. It is up to you to add dates or locations if you want.
It is always fun to have Easter Eggs to put in a basket, or as add-ons to a graphic project. This script is the fourth in the series and will let you create up to a dozen different eggs based on the colors you want and other options.
For a sampler, I created a dozen eggs matching the colors of the sample for the previous similar script (so you have 2 dozen matching eggs).
Newspapers can be a fun medium to print letters on, and create a random effect. This might be easy but it is quite tedious to have something very irregular. That is why this script will be a time-saver.
As a sample, I created a basic red alphabet (in lowercase) on black and white newspapers.
A simple bow might be all you need for your project, but how do you find the correct one? Using a ready-made bow and colorizing it might work but might also be a lot of work.
For a sample, I created three straight polkadot ribbons with holiday colors and ran the script to generate three matching bows. The straight ribbons are also included in the zip file so you can use them separately.
You can place elements along a circle or a spiral manually, but it is quite tedious.
For a sampler, I created two large circle frames and one spiral with bats coming at you. Each element is in png format and about 3000 pixels wide, so you can resize them as needed.
