To round out the year.


S0 far we have had 7 wonderfully awesome inspiring ladies guest design for us and I thank them all!!! We hope to have more truly cool chicks next round.

On to our 8th guest typist, and our last one before 2009.

This lady is a magician when it comes to paper. She makes one of a kind collages and very intriguing layouts that are so interesting to admire. She has a technique that I have not seen anyone do, and let me tell you its pretty darn cool. Her eye for design is amazing and it all reflects on her very inspiring blog(be sure to take a browse) As you can tell, I have become a fan of her work since I found her only a few months ago. She just got back from huge trip and went straight to creating prompt #8 for us, talk about super sweet:) Well, there is my intro to our final guest typist of the year, and here is her intro:




"Hi, my name is Rose. I've just returned to beautiful New Zealand after a 7 month holiday/work/adventure overseas. I'm a huge fan of paper, typography and attacking magazines with a craft knife. Thanks to the Creative Type team for asking me to be a guest designer, it was great to finally get to play with all the paper I've been carting around! My inspiration for this prompt was statement jewellery. And there's no more relevant statement for me than 'MAKE'.. I have 'slight' perfectionist issues ;) Gotta love that stern look too!"

*Take on Prompt #8 "Make"*

Thank you Rose once again, its amazing!

One.

"One" is the focus of prompt #8, and this will be the one last prompt before we take a mini vaca for the holidays. We will back and better then ever after the New Year! So be on the lookout. This prompt is all about taking one word that means something to you and making it the focal point of your layout. Make its bold, make it colorful, make it stand out and speak to the viewer. Maybe you have a picture that's special to you, and one word really stands out when you look at that image. Maybe there is just a word you love to hear, you like the way it sounds(I know I have a few) Its all about that one word. Once again, possibilities are endless. And remember, as always, its all about the type:) Thank you to Sweet Spuds for sponsoring this prompt! One lucky winner will be chosen to take home this fabulous kit.
Be sure to go and check out their site and possibly splurge on yourself for the holidays, come on you deserve it!

Please link all entries in the comment section of this post by Sunday, December 14th, 12 pm eastern time. A winner will announced on Monday, December 15th. We look forward to seeing what you got, the last hooray before the holidays.


Now I leave you with some inspiring typist takes on this prompt.
