The Flickr mashup that immediately caught my eye was the Trading Card Maker. It jumped right out at me because I used to play a lot of Magic: The Gathering. In fact, I've still got all of my cards! I've always wished I could make my own cards, and here comes an easy way to do just that! Or so it would seem...
The Trading Card Maker has a similar layout when it come to the main picture, various text fields, and the tiny symbols in the upper right for casting cost, but it is missing one critical piece for me. The lower right hand corner is where a creature's power/toughness is supposed to be. However, there's not a good way to get to the lower right hand corner. Adding a bunch of spaces to the end of the big text field doesn't even work right, so you can't even work around it. If I had just that extra piece of functionality, I'd be able to make a working game out of it that mimics Magic very closely, and could even be used in my old decks!
I wonder which would be easier. Finding the source code for this mashup, or just photoshopping the last bit onto each card...
