We are so excited to have Colette joining us this week as our first Guest Designer!  Here is a little bit about her:

Hi! My name is Colette and I am a digi-holic!

I am married to Eric and have two grown up daughters, Stacy and Meg.

Meg is disabled and I am her full time carer looking after all her personal care.

 I first came across digital products about 10 years ago when I discovered digital scrapbooking, I began printing out the papers and using them for card making, which made me realize that I had access to hundreds of paper designs without the need of storage space in my craft room and so my obsession with all things digital began. The next step in my addiction was digital stamps, which I started off colouring with Promarkers, but I was never very pleased with the finished result, then my husband suggested having a go at colouring in Photoshop, which I promptly did, I took to it like a duck to water and have never looked back!

I am very excited and honoured to be chosen as Paper Makeup Stamps very first Guest Designer.

Word Highlight!

As i poured thru the fabulousness that the design team has been doing lately... i started to notice a trend with the digi word art. Not ALL the time.. but often enough the DT was highlighting words in the wordart with color! And here i was thinking i was being so crafty when i did that to my cards! hahahahahaha.

Anyhoo - i think it's really stunning and looks fabulous with Shaela's wordart... so i thought i'd share some samples! Keep checking back everyday this week for more new ways to use these fun and fabulous digis!

First we have the Plant Your Own Garden quote... clearly this is a fav by my design team!  I think i've seen it used at LEAST 8-9 times already!  It was only assigned to 1!  So yes, it's a favorite!  But the neat thing is you can see different ways to use it!  THe ways shown here are just ways that use the word highlight technique.  Different cards and projects without the word highlight will be shown later in the week!  :)

And then we still have some other samples of how this can be done... letter to letter like below

Or you can do word by word either using soft colors to just gently pull out the words or bold and beautiful colors to definitely bring demand and attention or you can go anywhere inbetween! THe skys the limit!

I have decided that i LOVE this effect! The funny thing is i've done this for quote some time, but i alays choose pale colors to do so. I am just in love with using the bright colors! It does cover the words at all! SO i cant wait to play with my word art!

Oh, and i should mention i know the coloring mediums of the ladies showing off cards today! Copics, Stampin Up Markers, Watercolors and Chalks... you really can use anything to do this! So wait are you waiting for?! Try it out! I'd love to see your samples!
