There are many clever, fun, obvious, and subtle ways to use digiscrap papers in siggy making. One of the most obvious ways is to use the paper as background to your siggy like this:



You can also use them in subtle ways in your background, like this:



You can layer them behind pics as frames like this:


Or you can clip them into your text like this:



OR you canclip them into just about anything which makes them great for when using templates!

Now in almost any way other than using them in obvious way as peices in your background its great to know how to use the clipping mask. For PSE its simply CTRL+G, for PS its right click on the paper and chose create clipping mask, and for GIMP you use your magic wand tool select what you want the paper in then select your paper layer in palates copy and then paste. Sorry, I don't know how you do it in PSP.
Also, you can crop the paper into just about any shape and use it as an element in your siggy.
Really, what you can do with papers in siggies is endless, I for one use them ALL the time.

Please place your original siggy here, and then also place it in the maker's lounge to get CC. When you are happy with all the improvements you've made place your final copy here also.

Okay, I'm not sure if I did this right but here's mine.

The letters are filled with papers as are the backgrounds

My first shot at it

Since this is still open, I'd like to enter this one please? I'm afraid I won't have time for CC since this has been posted for about a week and half.. If I can't enter it b/c I don't have any CC, that's fine, just leave me out of it. I just figured it couldn't hurt to try :) I was itching to do a siggy now that I finally have my computer back and it fit the bill for this challenge.


MommaTrish
its fine. i'm getting ready to set everything up now.
