January Sneak Peeks, Day 2




Did you know that PMS is about to have a birthday?! Thats right, on February 2nd, PMS officially opened it's doors and made this blog post. Isnt it crazy that we're almost 1 year old?! Personally, i cant believe it myself! So we're kicking off our birthday bash starting NOW! Thats right, today's theme is BIRTHDAY! We have a fun and fabulous birthday sentiment set being released (all the cards you see today on the blog and by our Makeup Artists (thats the design team!) is using this set!!! And then we also have 2 party themed fairies and some cutie patootie, er i mean scary, monsters. :) Now yesterday i was very bad (or typed up the post entirely too late) and forgot to mention the designers! YIPES! The birthday cheer set was put together by our very wonderful Shaela Odd. She also put together the Hugs and Kisses set you saw yesterday!

On february 2nd, we'll have another party in our forum. We wont be having sneak peeks for a release in february, we're just releasing a LOT this month. :) There will be some new digis, some faaaaaaabulous sales on some of our earlier stamps, games, challenges, oh it's gonna be great!

Now here are your samples of what's being released on January 14th at 8pm CST!

Let's get this party started with BoBo the Clown Fairy! Isnt he fun?! BoBo is part of the Beautiful Day Fairy Collection designed by Diem Pascarella!

It's finally here! The time for sneak peeks for our January release! Sorry for the little mini confusion of pushing the release back this month. We hope the wait was well worth it for you!

Here's the skinny on the release for this month!

January 14th - RELEASE DAY!!!!
We'll have our party/chat at 8pm CST in our FORUM (let's hope it behaves this time!)
8pm CST is also when the stamps go live on the site and are ready for purchase!
What goes on at the party? Fun, chatter, games, prizes! Come join us!

This month we have 2 different themes for you! One being my favoritist holiday, Valentine's Day!
(the other being revealed tomorrow, is another favorite holiday for me too!)

Instead of showing you all fairies 1 day, All moody girls another day, etc we're doing our sneaks a wee bit differently. This month we're going by their themes! So today it's all about the LOVE, baby!

This month we have some wonderful lovey dovey images for you that will work well beyond valentine's day... check these out!!!!

Please note that ALLLLLLL the wonderful sentiments you see today are from a set called Hugs and Kisses that is also being released (along with some swell hearts in the set!)

Makeup 4 the Weekend #11

Hello fellow PMSers and welcome to another Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge!! Thank you so much to my girl Tangii for filling in for me last week! There were some awesome entries last week and I'm sure this week will be the same. :)

One of the new things we're doing for 2010 is featuring one of our Makeup Artists! When it is their week they get to choose the challenge and have their card featured on the Makeup 4 the Weekend post! I am so grateful for this wonderful team that I think they deserve to be in the spotlight. :)

Lisa Kind is this week's featured Makeup Artist and she choose a sketch as her challenge for all of you...
I don't know why circles in sketches are getting me lately but this sketch is no exception...
See my two little circles peaking on the side? LOL!! I couldn't even get all three in there. I am so sad... You can check out my blog for more details on my card. Now on to Lisa's sample...
Look at this sweet card...and OMG those chocolates!! Her coloring is amazing, that dp is perfect and those hearts make me think of the sweet conversation hearts you get on Valentine's Day. Too sweet!! Awesome job Lisa!! :)

Be sure to check out the rest of the PMS Artists and their challenge creations:


Now it's time for us to see YOU shine!! Make a card using the above sketch and link it up to Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post (direct links please). You do not have to use Paper Makeup Stamps but if you've got 'em we'd love to see your work!! When you upload to SCS/PCP please use keyword M4TW11 so we can see your creations there as well.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!
Christi

January release will be January 14th!

Hello everyone! Normally the 3rd is the day we start our sneak peeks for the month. Well, for the net 2 months, we're doing things a little bit differently! We've moved the release back a smidgen this month (it helps everyone recoup from the holidays anyway!) and then we're throwing a BIG birthday bash on February 3rd with specials and sales (and maybe a special stamp here and there!) all thru the month of february. We'll resume our normal release schedule in March. :)

Stay tuned!!!!
