Cracked paint can be used on many drawings, paintings, or writings to give a worn look. You can surely use an overlay, but it is also nice to get a different result.
This script will do just that as it will randomly modify a handful of base patterns to create a worn look of cracked and peeled paint. Just have your photo or drawing active and the script will age a copy of it, leaving your original intact.

For a sample, I found some fun summer cards that are now worn out, after the summer. Use them as cards, or posters.

You can create some unique titles and tags using uneven pieces of papers with a cut out letter or digit.
For a free sample, this week, I used one of the newspapers that was used to create the freebie in the Campus (you can get matching pieces 
Have you ever tried to create a montage of pop art images inspired by Andy Warhol? It uses bold colors and simplistic lines and offers multiple variations on the same colors.
As a freebie, obviously, there was no way to give you a sample that would suit your own project, so I figured that everyone was quite enthusiastic about the balloon twists frame from a couple of weeks ago so I created another one, in different shape and using a different color. Those balloons would be quite suitable for summer theme projects.
You can create a sprayed effect on individual letters very quickly.
With this time for back to school in many areas, I created this set of digital using primary colors, in order. Use them to add a year, an anniversary or even to make a border for a back-to-school theme project.
Little bugs and critters can be a fun addition to a project, especially when they are cute and made of ribbons and beads.
As a sampler, I created 5 basic color dragonflies. Using only one color per dragonfly, they will be more versatile and easier to match with your project.
This script will allow you to combine two patterns into one: gradient and stripes.
If you have some beach photos to display, you will like these four papers based on a "beachy" color palette.
If you are a little bored with regular bows to embellish your projects, here is something a bit different: butterflies. Although they are similar to a bow, they have that symmetry and the additional beaded body to turn them to something original.
For a sampler, I created three straight and translucent ribbons and ran the script on them. I chose some basic colors that should go well with just about anything. You get the butterflies and the matching straight ribbon too.
If you like to have a title made from a specific paper from a kit but not have everything too even, you will love this script. It will take only a few seconds to create a complete alphabet with slightly varied designs, shading, and pattern. You can choose any number of papers to create individual letters either in order or in random order.
As a sampler, I used a single paper from a kit called The Good Life, by Marisa Lerin. That paper had shadings of orange so the individual characters are all slightly different since they were selected from different sections of that single paper.
We never have too many bows in our stash because it is important to have some variety. Whether you are a scrapbooker or a designer, this is another tool that will allow you to get a new bow from any other straight ribbon.
With celebrations coming up in July, I created a translucent blue, white and red ribbon and ran the script to generate the bow. This one is in png format, and the zip file will also include the straight ribbon.
Whether you are creating a project about gardening, golfing or fall, a little patch of grass can be a fun addition, in any shape possible. Why not make a frame? or write a title in a grassy texture?
For a sampler, I created 4 similar frames for you with grass of different lengths, but they all have dandelions!
