Aside from the typical deck of cards we use to play poker, bridge, or others, do you ever play games that involve a different kind of cards, like Magics, ?
Have you ever imagined having your own photo on one of those cards? Now you can do just that. With this script, you can use any photo, and add the text you want to create a unique card that you can print if you want, or just use on a different graphics project.

This week, I created a simple set of four cards for you. They are in .pspimage format which includes the mask to insert your photo without having to cut it or adjust it in any way. Simply put your photo above the layer named "Photo here", and adjust the placement using the Pick tool (or the Raster Deform tool if you are using an older version of PSP).
You can then add the text you want in the label below the photo, and you have some fun cards that you can either print or use in a scrapbook project.

Everyone likes ribbons, bows and knots. They can be very versatile, especially if they match. Finding the correct match is not always easy, but with this script, you can use any straight ribbon and get a simple knot to add to your project.
To show you what those knots look like, close up, I used three ribbons from a kit, 
Every project can use ribbons and creating custom ribbons with the specific colors of a photo or a kit can be tedious. This script, which is an extension of the Ribbon Factory script, will create such ribbons using two colors of your chosen palette with a variety of patterns and other settings.
As a sampler, this week, I used the same color palette as I used last time to create those fun spring confetti and generated a dozen of ribbons, 200 pixels thick.
Plush is often associated with soft toys from our childhood. Adding a plush texture to various shapes can convey that soft feeling to a project.
To give you a little glimpse of what this script can do, I created three basic elements that you can use as is or combine them with other elements. All three elements are in png format and quite large so you can size them down as needed for your particular project.
With Easter coming, you might want to create some holiday invitations or maybe you will want to embellish the photos you will take with the kids running around, looking for eggs.
To help you out, I created a dozen eggs that you can use to build some clusters or to line them up at the bottom of your next frame. Using bold colors, those eggs should go well with just about any Easter or spring projects.
Delicious donuts are always tempting, and if you have any baking projects or layouts, it could be fun to have some custom pastries. This is where this script comes into play. You can create a variety of donuts based on any shape you want, and customize them with various icing flavors and additional toppings.
For a sample, I created 3 letters that can spell the word YUMMY. Each letter (Y, U, M) are made of a different flavor. They are about 2000 pixels in height so you can easily resize them to what you need.
Bows, bows, and more bows. This definitely not the first bow script, and it likely won't be the last either. Various projects seem to require a different type of bow. Sometimes you want it super simple, sometimes you want it flat, sometimes you want it loopy, and sometimes, you want it with multiple loops. This is what the newest script offers you.
For a sample, I created a simple lace ribbon and ran it through the script. I then converted both the ribbon and the bow into a greyscale which gives you a fairly white result. Since they are monochrome, you can always colorize them to match your project, or keep it as is and just add a colored center.
Whenever you are creating a kit or a layout, you might want to include or use some matching ribbons. Unfortunately, not all kits have them. If you are creating your own kits, then you will want to add such matching ribbons, but in the end, you tend to use the same type of ribbons, while you would prefer some variety.
As a sample, I am including 12 of the many ribbons that were generated in making the preview for the script. Using 6 papers from a kit from Janet Scott. You can find that paper kit 
Did you get some pictures of your last Valentine Day with your valentine?
For a sample, I created a heart shape frame using a preset shape, and ran the VectorTube script to place the little hearts all along the shape. With a little shadow added, you have a fun frame. The shadow is only added to the chain, so you can add your own shadow to the whole frame if you want.
You can never have too many bows to embellish your projects. And since you can now create them from your own ribbons, you will have a perfectly matching element to attach to the ribbons.
For a sampler, I created 3 basic ribbons with a Valentine Day theme and ran the script. So you will get 3 straight ribbons (that you can run other scripts on) and 3 matching bows.
