I've been reacquainting myself with the process of creating my own frames for use in CA, using DrawPlus to create the frame, exporting as a PNG with transparency, and then adding it into CA. If there's an interest, then I'll figure out how to produce a tutorial on the process.
What can you do in DrawPlus that you can’t also do in CraftArtist? 
I'm still not sure what the issue was, although I was able to create a frame in CA from shapes. But, over in DP, I was able to use images snagged from the interwebs, use the crop tool, get the pattern or texture to show up, save it as a PNG file, and then add it to CA. Multi-step, but I think this was the same issue I ran into a few years back. It's probably do-able in CA, but I was having a heck of a time, and finally went over to DP to complete the process. And, even there, it didn't seem to work with every image used.
