It is fairly easy to use a ready-made bow and maybe colorize it, but you still end up with the same shape, every time. Wouldn't you like to get more variety?
This script will generate slightly different shapes of a bow, and since it will use any picture tube you select, it will give you a lot of versatility. You can use any of the string picture tubes or rope picture tubes in the store. You can also try to use other tubes like pipe cleaners or garlands for different effects. The zip file will also include one greyscale string picture tube for you to use.

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 sample for this script, I ran it and used three different metallic rope tubes. You get three bows, about 800-900 pixels wide so you can resize them if needed.

To create patterns from photos is a great way to have matching colors for your papers. In addition, it is a great way to use "bad" photos, those out of focus, with odd colors, etc.
As a sampler, I created 10 seamless tiles using the same starting image as for the previous Quick Tile scripts. That means our tiles will match the other 20 patterns you can download.
Another script will allow you to create a variety of decorated beads. This time, the beads will be a slightly different shape than the previous scripts. Furthermore, you can create monochrome beads in addition to the duotone ones. Different rotations will be associated with the correct bevel and shadows to give a more realistic effect.
For a sampler, I used the same color palette as for the previous freebies for the Beads Maker 1 and the Beads Maker 2. This way, you will have a total of 45 matching beads to play with and create a variety of elements.
Whether you want to showcase school pictures or flowers in your garden, you might also want to feature one special photo. This script will create a template for you with all the settings you want.
As a sampler, I created a 6x6 template with small images on top and on the left only, leaving an even larger area in the bottom right.
Sometimes, you have long filenames for your supplies and for whatever reason, you would like to shorten them. Doing it manually, one file at a time is tedious to say the least.
For today's free sample, I created a series of summer-themed phrase strips. A set of 15 strips are available for you to embellish any summer project.
Another way to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase in a unique way on your project.
For a sample, I created four seasonal tags and left the rectangle with lines so you could add your own message or customize the tag further. You can distress it, stain it, add a stamp to it, etc. Then, tie it to something with a string or a ring.
Gradients can be really helpful to create unique patterns, but in order to make such a tile, you have to create a new gradient every time. That is tedious and a lot of work since you might not need those gradients afterward.
For a sample, I used the color palette from the DigitalScrapbook July 2023 blog train, and generated 16 different tiles. Each tile is 400x400 pixels in jpg format so you should be able to use them in most graphic programs.
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.
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.
This new script will create some seamless scale patterns with any color palette you want.
As a sample, I created 3 seamless tiles with green shades to go with a possible dinosaur theme. Of course, you can also use those with a garden theme or anything else. There is also a full-size paper with randomized greens. All the elements used the same color palette so they should match if you want to use them together.
Although you can create a painted frame manually, sometimes, you want to save time and work and create a simple yet precise frame that still looks hand drawn. This script will do that for you in just a few seconds.
For samplers, I created two double frames with the script, on a 5x7 photo. Since both layers are left separate, I changed the color of one of the two to create something more interesting. I used the colors from the June blog train at DigitalScrapbook.com.
