Faith Hope and Love from a "new" illustrator!

OH THE PAIN! The pain of keeping mum on something that we are SO SO SO excited about!
Those who have been around since the beginning of PMS may remember when Lindsay Spencer
did some guest illustrations for us (the cottage and willow tree).
Well she is BACK and she's taking a more permanent position (or at least we hope because we love what she creates!) Recently she's had some time and responsibilities clear up
so she's joining our family! And we couldnt be more thrilled!

The first set Lindsay is bringing us is.... AWESOME!!!!!!
It's a batch of flower sillouettes and fabulous wordart with the themes of Faith, Hope and Love.
The flowers come in various sizes to fit all different crafting needs the the wordart sentiments are of a generous (but not too large) size making this for one big set! but we think you'll love every piece of it!

Check out what the Paper Makeup Artists have come up with...
(click on the name to see the full version of the card)



Now this set will only be available as a rubber set (no digis on this one).
Lindsay does have a digi site you can view HERE. However, the designs rubberized for
PMS will not be available there. :D

And if you want to win this set.... all you have to do is leave a little comment here!
Perhaps in this comment you might mention what else you'd just love to see from our fabulous Lindsay! :D

Ok, one last reminder... tomorrow is the day! We'll start the morning with a blog hop... issue some challenges, let you play, and then at 8pm CST we'll have our release party right in our FORUM. We cant wait!!!!!!
