Stationery
Helpers
There are all types of programs available to help you make stationery :) There are stationery makers, font viewers, color pickers, free graphic programs and a host of others. There are even programs to help you check your email before you download it to your computer. Those that are freeware I have included on this page - others I have supplied the link for.
Stationery Makers
Basically, these programs allow you to choose your graphic, sound, font and colors and then choose the type of scroll you would like to have. Prices range from free to around $30 (US).
Adlors
My personal favorite (and not just because it is free:) ) is Adlor's Stationery Creation Program. You may download it here. For all of the programs I have made available you will need to have an unzipping program, such as Winzip.
Arachnophilia
This one is free too, but a little difficult to explain. I have used it, and after the initial set up is easy to navigate. It also needs Sevn's Stationery Helper to work with it. For that reason I suggest you visit Sevn's site and from there you can download both.
Scrippy
A shareware program that I have never tried. I have spotted some very neat effects with this one that are not available on others. To download a 30 day trial copy, check here. Be sure to check the system requirements. There are also e-mail lists available at www.egroups.com to help you get started with the program.
Lisa
A very neat shareware program that I found fairly easy to use. Again, a 30 day trial download is offered with some of the features disabled in it. To download a copy, go to the developer's site. They have a very active Lisa user's group.
Stationery Maker
I used this one briefly, and once I figured out the buttons, it was ok :)...Sometimes I can be very blonde if it is not immediately apparent :)...Check out Stationery Maker and make your own decision :)
Font Viewers
Once you start making stationery, you have to find the perfect font :) There are a host of programs available to help you decide which one to choose, I will only list a few free ones here.
Font-o-Matic
A very handy free font viewer that sits on your desktop or quick launch tray. To download a copy click here.
NAF
Another easy to use free program :) Click here to download.
Color Pickers
These small utilities are very handy when searching for exactly the right color :)
Tray Color
Color tray is a free small utility that allows you to match a color from any image on your screen. To download, click here.
Eyedropper
Another small color matching freeware program. Get it here.
Color Preview
This one is a html page that you can keep handy on your desktop and will allow you to see at a glance what a particular color will look like, as well as give the hex and html code for it. Check it out!!!
Email Remover
Ok, you've joined email groups, your box is overflowing...what are you to do now? How about using this email remover program? Very easy to set up, it allows you to view the subject and size of your emails before you ever download them to your computer :) I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to control their email. You can download it here.
Email Cleaner
Email is checked now and sitting in your box and you wish to forward it...<vbg> when you do tho you notice all those extra >>>>>>> What to do??? Use the email cleaner :)
Graphic Add-ons
A very useful tool is the Path Copy utility. Instead of typing the path of your image or sound file, this nifty little program will copy the entire path so all you have to do is paste it in your script:)
Another little program I use a lot is Watch Cat and while it is not directly related to stationery making I find it useful. It resides in your system tray and will keep track of all those open windows you have.
Be sure to check back as I continue to add free programs to help with stationery making :)
If you have any programs you would like to see listed here, please email me.

Live Laugh Love and most of all - Smile :)
