This script will create cookies in any shape, whether they are hand-drawn, preset shapes, or letters/numbers. You get five types of cookies: oatmeal, graham wafer, peanut butter, molasses, and jam cookie. And some of those also have additional options, like four types of fillings for the jam cookies and some possible chocolate on top of the oatmeal and graham wafer.

This will be perfect for any birthday party, kitchen or baking theme.

Get it in the store: Cookies 2

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling which of those five cookies would you prefer (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) 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).

While working on those cookies, I had a craving for some sweets! I created a whole alphabet (A to Z) using graham wafers half dipped in chocolate. I think they look delicious, don't you think? Of course, if you want, you can add some sprinkles too!

Did you ever rub a crayon or a pencil on a piece of paper with an object underneath just to see the details of the texture appear? What kind of objects do you remember using?

Doing that with Paintshop Pro is now very easy as this script will do all the work for you. Use a solid shape or an image and choose your “crayon” color.

Once the script is done, you get a heavily rubbed shape or design and a lightly rubbed background. You can remove the background altogether (since it is only a separate layer) or you can erase the excess and leave only a little bit. You can also “rub” another area as the script will leave the material with the exact same setting as what it used for the background.

You can grab this Crayon Rubbing script in my store.

Do you want a chance to win this script? Just tell me what you would use it in a scrapbook project, in this thread. I’ll be back next week with the name of a winner.

As a sample of this, i created some time-related words for you. You get the same words with and without the background paper. They are in PNG format, so they are useable in most programs. And they are very large (up to 3000 pixels) so you can use them as large title on a layout, or you can resize them down.

Each one has a different color (although you can still colorize them differently if you want) and has a different angle of crayon marks.

Did you download your free Bokeh papers on myFacebook page? I said that once i reach 400 fans, i would add another set of papers. I am pleased to announce that this milestone has been reached, so, as promised, i will add another set this weekend.

Thanks so much for joining my store page!

And thanks for sharing it!

It is much appreciated.

Keep sending your PSP friends to “like” it.

Did you ever see those fancy photography shots with lights shining out of the darkened and blurred background? Can you do that with your camera? If you can, good for you, but my little point and shoot camera cannot do that, at all. But i still like that look and wanted to see how to do it with Paintshop Pro.

In fact, creating that effect is very easy with PSP, but it is very tedious as each spot has to be done manually, one by one, each time by picking the color from the image. Imagine how many spots one has to create? Well, scripts are just meant to do faster what we COULD do, very slowly, right?

This script will do just that for you. Starting with ANY photo, of ANY size, you will be able to choose between 3 densities of the spots and 4 shapes, and then, let it work on its own. It will create 3 layers with the Bokeh effects, in different blurriness, and one background layer with a copy of your image, very blurred and darkened. All those layers will be left on separate layers so you can tweak them more. You can vary the blurriness more, change the opacity, or even remove one layer if you prefer.

You can really use ANY photo, including the bad ones, since it will be all blurred anyways!

You can grab this fun and creative Bokeh Making script in my store.

And for a chance to win this script, just add your name tothis thread in the DST forum. I’ll be back next week with the name of a winner.

For this week’s free sampler, i created four full size papers for you. Since i dont really know what type of photos you have to use in a layout, i decided to create three of those papers using just gradients i had in my stash: one for silver, one for gold and one for copper. Once i had a paper made out of those gradients, i just ran the script on it.

For the fourth paper, i created a base paper using the Airbrush Paper script with 3 primary colors plus white (for good measure), and then ran the Bokeh script on it. Those two scripts work very well if you want to create a Bokeh background paper to match a specific color palette instead of a photo.

Those are full size (3600x3600) and have no texture so you can add your own to match your particular project.

Go LIKE thefan page and it will be under the FREEBIE tab.

News from the Campus

Did you hear about the most yummy event for digital scrappers?

The recipe will include tutorials, goodies, and of course, scrapbooking!

Do you want to learn more about this event taking place this fall?

Click on HERE to get the updates for this delicious event!

I am pleased to announce that the entry #5 is a winner by grabbing a whopping 46% of the popular vote.

This #5 entry was submitted by Eileen, a regular customer of the store, and also a student of the Campus.

As the winner of this contest, Eileen earned herself a $15 coupon for the store. In addition, everyone else who submitted entries got a $3 coupon.

If you want to create your own unique ribbon tree, you can do so using the same script that Eileen used, the Ribbon Tag Tree script.

With this great ribbon tree, I created a fun printable holiday card. This card has no text so you can use it in any language, and add whatever title you want. You can also add a handwritten note inside for your loved ones, your friends, or anyone else you want to send good wishes to.

You can grab it on the store Facebook fan page, under the Fan Freebie tab. Of course, you need to “like” that page.

Already a fan of the Creation Cassel? Just head over to this page.

Not a fan yet? Go to the same page, and “like” us.

And send your friends over too! You dont know what else will be in that freebie page!

Yeah…. by COREL!!!! I am not THAT familiar with Facebook and when i saw that new post on my fanpage wall, i had NO idea what that was. I had to ask a friend what it meant. Well, apparently, it means that Corel noticed me! And what THAT means? still no idea. But i assume it is good! I followed the link to check on Corel’s wall page and yeah, there i was.

Now, just in case you feel like going and liking Corel you can get to their page here. If you are a PaintShop Pro user, it might help!

Yup, you saw it right. I joined Facebook. I am still getting used to it as it is a totally new concept for me. I am not familiar with those “social network” sites as i usually dont have time to devote to that. I am too busy coding scripts, and such.

I am sure many of you are already used to Facebook and you know your way around. Just join me and let’s see where it will lead.

Click here to reach my fan page. I wonder how long it takes to reach that 100 fans milestone. Why not help me reach it? Click on the image to find my fan page. See you there!
