Release Party Wrap Up...

I know that everyone who went to the September Release Party last night had a bunch of fun chatting! And if you missed it, here is the lowdown!

The OCTOBER HOP...will be a MONSTER MASH theme!!! Designers and PMS fans will be able to participate together...in the mash...the monster mash...it was a grave yard smash... (Oops...I started singing there. Did you??) When you are doing your PMS shopping, be sure to put a couple of your favorite monsters into your cart! We can't wait to see some whimsy and creepiness from you next month. I wonder if we can get Katie to give a prize for the most creative monster creation!! If you want to participate, sign up through Mr. Linky:




Adrienne Dial was the winner of a new Baby Boris stamp for coming and bringing a friend to last night's Release Party! Congrats! Please email Katie so she can mail out your sweet new rubber addition. haha (katie at paper makeup dot com)

Another big announcement from last night was the theme of this month's PMS Makeover Challenges.

What a long and crazy month it's been!

It's June 23rd?! WHAT!? It seems like just yesterday I was leaving for my vacation on May 29th.

That was a month ago! And while I was only gone for about 2 weeks (a little longer than anticipated due to driving across the country with a 4 year old and a 20 month old!)

I want to sincerely apologize for how behind the company has been this month.

We are now totally caught up! It seemed like everyday (though i say we, it's just me) i tried to make a bigger dent in the to do, and the catch up list, and suddenly i would look at the clock and say, how it is time for bed already?! Of course having 2 little ones and a hubby who works about 12 hours a day 6 days a week in the summer didnt help the catch up plan either.

So i really do apologize!

On a more fun note, now that everything is caught up, and the new PMS office is put together (ok, it's still partially in shambles, but we're working on it!)

The new DT is working with the current DT (we'll announce our new team on the 1st)

So what's next?! Well, my birthday is this weekend! So what am i going to do?

I'm going to offer a sale! Thats right! It's a 10% discount site wide!

You can even use it on the Celestial Possibilities makeup kit which is already $10 off it's retail price! This sale will go from now thru June 27th. Use the code JUNESAVE10 in your cart.

Whats more, i'm even going to let you use this code with other sale codes!

And now, just because i haven't posted any pretties for you to see on the blog in a bit, just a few wonderful creations from the awesome Paper Makeup Artists!

PMS Monday: Let's Get Flappin'!

Happy Monday PMS peeps! It's Christi with another Paper Makeup Monday challenge!! I hope you guys enjoyed last Monday's release festivities AND got to play along in the PMS release party challenges! This week's Paper Makeup Monday challenge is a fun technique that was picked out by the extremely talented Jamie Morris: to make a flap card! Are you guys loving the new Moody Girls as much as I do? They are so fun and funky! AND they match Basic Grey dp perfectly! LOL Here is a shot of the inside of my card...
I actually made mine into a little notebook. Each page is sponged and has this awesome quote on them. Super easy and so cool in real life.

Ready to see the design team creations? They rocked this challenge this week...

September Sneak Peek day 5... MORE FAIRIES!

Yep, thats right, more fairies!!!!  We coulda shown them to you all in 1 day, but we spaced it out.  teehee.  You are going to flip at these fairies!  We have 2 more new fairies and then by popular demand, the Friendship Fairies that were only available digi have now been rubberized!  

Here are some samples from the design team....

Melissa the bookworm fairy!  I can already tell by how many gals on my design team wanted her, that she's going to be very popular!  And she was named after 2 of my bookworm design teams members!

The quote on Jamie's card is also available as rubber

And then we have a special heart fairy for the American Heart Association. Diem (the illustrator of the Beautiful Day Fairies) approached me with the idea of having another charity fairy for the American Heart Association. Her cousin recently suffered a heart condition at the young age of 27! I told her that i loved the idea! So all purchases of this fairy from the PMS website (i cant control what my wholesale vendors do :) ) a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association.

Here is the Heart Fairy!  The sentiment you see on Christi's card is also available in rubber this month!

And then last but certainly not least, just a reminder of the sweet friendship fairies (that could also be sisters, mother and daughter, you get the idea!) that will now be available as rubber!!!!! The sentiment you see on the first card is also a new sentiment available in rubber this month!



Wanna win yourself a fairy? Leave a comment here and 1 lucky winner will be drawn at the release party on the 7th from 9-10 CST!
