I added two pieces of "washi tape" to the commons. I used Marisa's tape tutorial.

smiley Great challenge, love it. So many wonderful creations here, love your contributions, Gonda!

Those actions, Gina, wow. Searched high and low... out of business you say?

Yes, great challenge, I like to design every single element of the list ... Thank you again, Gina for this idea.

Bina, are you inquiring about the Atomic Cupcake actions I mentioned? If so, they closed years ago. They created actions that you could create other CU items with. So many actions today just make an element but Atomic Cupcake created actions that would work with any shape, so you could create almost anything with their action. They would offer a free action each month so I'd visit monthly to get my freebie -- frequently I couldn't wait for something to be free so I'd buy stuff too. My favorite AC actions are felt, puffy felt, and torn cardboard. I use those 3 a lot.

smiley Thank you Gina, these actions look supercool! Such great products go out of business..... it is too weird.

Gina inspired me with her Coastal Wire Words to make some frames to coordinate with Marisa Lerin's Coastal Bundle:

I don't know if I can add this to Commons, because the Coastal Wire Words from Gina are PU and not CU ...
I used this paper from the Coastal Extra Papers Kit by Marisa Lerin

Humm.. I'm not sure either. I can release almost everything I create with a CU license but because it's on the commons, I'm not sure.

I love the frame though.

These are very cool. How did you learn to make these?

I miss her actions. I have a lot of them before she stopped. These turned out great.

Okay, I have decided to try this myself - I wasn't sure where to begin so I copied Gina's list and will add links to these when I am finished.

please clarify.. we have a lot of different things posted, make what?

Gina, I think Megan is talking about paper clips that Gonda made.
Meg, you can find some free templates at Scrappin' cop and then re-do them with some elements.
Plus, I'm sure there's some tutorial how to make it from scratch, just Google a little bit.

Thanks Andrea.

I sure do miss Scrappin Cop! She shared some amazing stuff.

Hi Megan,

Thank you.

I have several shapes for the paperclips and I played with some filters ... For the metallic effects I used Super Blade Pro.

I miss Atomic Cupcake! smiley

Impressive! I am off to find the script tutorial. Thank you.

These items were scanned and extracted by me. (dont let the simplicity of rubberbands fool you, they were not as easy as they look)

Are you both using Paint Shop Pro for these? Gina, not sure if you can see your pictures but I am seeing a TinyPic photo instead

I believe tinypic is undergoing some changes.

I used paint shop pro years ago but was forced to switched to photoshop when I purchased a mac. I'm not sure I'd know how to use PSP now.

I have hosted a lot of pics at tinypic and they are closing. As a result, many (most) of my images will disappear from the forums. I am sorry about that because I cannot replace all of them.

though not specifically on the list, I photographed, extracted, and edited these images...

Totally beautiful, Gina! Love these.

Thank you Bina.
