New script – Sticky Album

by

This Sticky Album effect brings back the look of classic adhesive photo albums, complete with realistic ridges and subtle imperfections. It’s a fun way to add a nostalgic touch to your photos, or to create a unique textured overlay that feels instantly vintage.

You can keep the traditional diagonal ridges or go for creative horizontal or vertical variations. For even more impact, try using colored ridges to add a playful twist, or adjust opacity and blend modes to make the effect as subtle or bold as you like.

New script – Text Portrait

by

This text portrait effect is great if you have a specific subject you want to showcase, and even better if the original image has odd colors since this effect can be applied to a black and white version. But you can still keep the original color, choose a monochrome effect, or even a gradient. So many possibilities.

Some text overlays are included in the zip file, but you can also choose your own for an even more custom effect.

New script – Scallop Pattern 6

by

Although you can create scallop patterns using a set number of solid colors or gradients, this script will let you generate a unique “shell-like” scallop design with up to three different colors in one pattern. You choose the colors, and the script will automatically create a perfectly seamless tile in just a few clicks.

You can run the script as many times as you want, using different color combinations each time, to build a whole library of patterns for your projects.

New script – Datestamp#14

by

Looking for a bold and stylish way to frame your words or photos? The Datestamp #14 script gives you a fun design that’s perfect for highlighting a name, a message, or even a full photo!

This script creates a classic rectangular frame with a slanted banner across the middle, letting you showcase your main text front and center. You get to pick the font, color, and wording for that banner — so it’s fully customized to your project.

Want to dress up the corners too? You’ll have plenty of options! Choose to add icons (like hearts, planes, or graduation caps), short messages, or even fill the corners with a color or pattern. You can leave them empty as well, or use your own brushes or photos to personalize it even further.

This design works beautifully for cards, titles, tags, or photo labels. Use it to create custom greetings, mark a special trip or event, or label a pet or loved one in a layout. It’s super flexible — and super fun!

New script – Brushes Resizer

by

Have you collected great brushes over the years, only to find they’re just too small for today’s high-resolution projects? Back in the PSP9 era and earlier, brushes were limited to 500 pixels — and some were even under 100. That might have worked fine back then, but now a 100-pixel brush looks tiny on a 3600-pixel layout!

The Brushes Resizer script helps you bring those old brushes back to life by turning them into full-size versions that work beautifully in PSP X and up. Whether you're using them to add textures, stamp illegible details in a background, or build grungy overlays, this script does the resizing work for you. You’ll be able to re-use your favorites without sacrificing scale — and without starting over from scratch.

Want a chance to win this script for free? Head over to this Facebook post and tell us: what’s the smallest brush you’ve ever used — and what did you use it for? (Tiny leaf? Mini swirl? Maybe a dot you didn’t even realize was a brush?) Winner will be announced in next week’s newsletter. Not subscribed yet? Join here — it’s free, and we only email once a week. The winner will be announced next week — good luck!

Since I cannot make a sampler from this script, I created a whole alphabet made of stone. It will be perfect to add to your adventure-related projects or to place them in the sand, on the beach.

Knot #2 script

by

cass_knot2This script will give you the opportunity to use your own ribbon to create a knot, or if you want to start from scratch, you will get prompted to provide your choice of color/sgradients/patterns
to make a 3600 pixels long ribbon. So you can end up with ONE ribbon and ONE matching knot to embellish your page or complete your kit. At the end of script you will also have the choice of merging all the layers or leave them only linked in case you want to insert decorative element inside the knot.

This script has been tested with versions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

As usual, this script is available at all my stores and it is 25% until Sunday, Jan 25th.
