Time to Rethink... again...

Welcome back to another wonderful day of RETHINKING your first PMS card!

Read all about our month of rethinking HERE.

Today we have 3 Paper Makeup Artists showing you their first cards and their wonderful remakes.

First is Senior Paper Makeup Artist, Tangii Crain.

Her first PMS card....

You know i'm lovin' that color combo! haha! And her little paperpieced skirt is so cute!

Tangii used Jaina Fairy, one of the very first fairies from PMS.

Now that Tangii, she's a clever one! She took her very first card for inspiration, and then took our Makeup 4 the weekends challenge (this week it's an awesome sketch, check it out HERE)

Look at how awesome this card turned out!

And next up is Paper Makeup Artist, Randee Elsing.

Here is her first PMS card...

I love that green polka dot paper, and in fact i think i have some. Randee has just inspired me!

Randee has always loved the PMS monsters. You can often find her making some GENIUS cards using the monsters in super clever ways! Here she has used Argus with Teddy.

For her remake, she has added in the use of the Monster Sentiment Set (and some awesoem stitching might i add!). And i LOVE how she added the button to the bow!

And last but certainly not least is one of our most recent FABULOUS additions to our design team, Paper Makeup Artist Christi Snow!

Here is her very first PMS card...

I love Christi's Shabby Chic style! And again.... liking this color combo! haha! Here she has actually used 3 different PMS stamps all from our very first release! The fairy is Lauren in Love who continues to be a best seller among the Beautiful Day Fairies. She also used the butterfly from Buggy Sayings and she oh so strategically only stamped the word life from the large Art is the tree of Life wordart!

Here is her rethunk card. ;)

Again.... loving hte color combo! Ok, so i like anything with grey in it! But those papers are delish! She has again used Lauren in Love but has comboed her with one of our most recent releases, Hugs and Kisses!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please feel free to go and leave our designers some love!

Tuesday Meet n Greet with Meli Mitchell

Hello ladies! It's time for another Meet n Greet with one of our fabulous Design Team Members!

Today we're "meeting" the wonderful Meli Mitchell!

First... here's the questions we always ask!

When did you start stamping?
I started stamping about 5 years ago. I had been into scrapbooking since Natalie was born and a friend that I scrapped with invited me to a Stampin' Up! party. I had fun and got a few sets...then that friend became a demo and I joined her stamp club. We did tons of projects and partied once a month with our stamps. It was lots 'o' fun. Now I'm a big stampin' geek.

What first drew you to PMS?
The people. I "met" Katie through the Bellaholics group and have known Christi, the DT leader, since we were in the 6th grade. I joined the PMS group over at Paper Craft Planet and just loved getting to know Katie and the people who used the stamps.

What's your favorite stamping color combo?
Anything paired with dark brown. I actually painted the rooms in my house according to Stampin' Up! colors. I took pieces of Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky and Pink Pirouette cardstock in and had them match it. I know, I'm a freak! I tend to use a lot of pink too.

What else do you like to do?
I am a total nerd. I read a lot. Jane Austen, Harry Potter series, Jackie Collins. I will read anything. I am also a huge old movie buff. Most nights you will find me curled up in my recliner with my Yorkie watching an Audrey Hepburn or Monte Clift movie. I spend a lot of time with my husband and my kids. That usually means we are on a ball field watching or playing a game. I also collect Hello Kitty. It's an obsession.

Where do you get inspiration from?
Other crafters mostly. I troll blogs a lot and will jot down things or sketches in my journal that I really like.

What's on your Ipod?
LOOOOOTS of John Mayer. When I say that, I mean I have over 500 John Mayer songs. I'm serious. My husband is constantly making fun of me because he's almost all I listen to.
I also have a lot of Prince, 80's hairband music, Lady GaGa, Enrique Iglesias, Madonna, Ne-Yo, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Psapp, Regina Spektor, Amy Winehouse, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, New Kids on the Block.....I just love music.

And now, Meli has been ROCKIN' PMS stamps this past week or so.  I mean, when she has to take a break (her daughter had a big birthday bash to which she gave away some fun blog candy if you might remember) she comes back with a vengeance so all of these beautiful creations are ones you havent seen yet (on this blog... hehehe)

Aren't these all just GORGEOUS?! Dont forget to go leave Meli some love on her blog!
