Printmaster and the Imagine!

Hi, everyone!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I just wanted to share something fun I learned this week.  I don't know if any of you use the Printmaster program, but I use it a LOT to print sentiments inside my Cricut cards and just to make quick cards and add Cricut cuts and text to them.  My granddaughter asked me to make birthday party invitations for my great-grandson this week.  And that's when I made this amazing discovery!!  Did you know that Printmaster includes RGB codes for the colors used for text???  Or the color you use to fill shapes???  Well, it does!!!  I had printed text on the invitations using a rope font in kind of a straw color. 
By clicking on the paint bucket that you use to select the text color, then on the button that says "Define Custom Colors" you will see the color wheel and right underneath it on the right hand side, are your RGB codes for any selected color.  Using this information, I was able to print and cut rope loops from the Old West cartridge, using my Imagine machine, that were a perfect match to the text on the invitation.  I then ran those cuts through my Xyron machine to turn them into stickers for the envelopes!  Sounds WAY more complicated than it actually is!!!  Please feel free to email me with any questions!!!  Hope this helps some of you with your crafting!
