Website is down

Hello Everyone! The website is down this morning (for reasons that i do not know why, we are working on it currently!) So sorry for anyone who might have been wanting to shop this morning! I will make another post when it's back up and running!

It's time to Rethink!

Rethink your first PMS card that is!

Tangii and Christi came up with an awesomely fun challenge for the PMS family to do the entire month of February in honor of our first birthday/anniversary!

The challenge is to dig out your first PMS card and rethink it.

You can make a CASE of it (which is to Copy And Selectively Edit for those new to the term)

or you can just rework it. Maybe to better show off your skills 1 year later, or maybe you have more fun supplies, or maybe there is just something that you think would make it better.

Maybe your original card is just an inspiration to a new one!

Whatever the case is.... rethink your card, and execute it!

So all month long (on sundays and tuesdays!) the Paper Makeup Artists are going to be showing off their first card and then rethinking it!

To start things off... Christi and I are going to show our cards first!

Here is my very first PMS card. I'm not sure if it qualifies since it's not a stamped image, but it's the original drawing the image came from! And i used it on a card to my hubby.

Here's my first card...

And the rethunk version, using the actual stamps from the Nuts About You set!

You can read all about that first card, and my announcement of my starting PMS here.

And now here's Christi's very first PMS card...

And here's her rethunk version (which in her case, is a little more of going off the inspiration of the first card.... which is a great idea too!) She has used Penelope, one of the very first of the Beautiful Day Fairies!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! We'd love to hear what you think about YOUR first PMS card! Feel free to join in on this challenge thats going on all month long!

Makeup 4 the Weekend #15

Hey guys! Welcome to another Paper Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge!! There were some amazing entries last week! Thank you to everyone who played along!! I hope you guys like this week's challenge just as much! :)

This week's guest Makeup Artist is the fabulous Danni Bindel and she has a wonderful girly-girl challenge for us: to use pink and lots of bling! Here is my take on this challenge... I guess you can tell by my sample that any and all pinks (or in the pink family) qualifies. ;) I thought I would show off the awesome Hugs and Kisses set and try a new technique. You can find more details on my blog.

Now for Danni's sweet creation...Don't you just love that dp and those colors! I had actually thought about grabbing Moody for Love myself. :) Gorgeous Danni!!!

Now check out more eye candy from the Paper Makeup Artists:

Now it's time for you to show off your creations!!! Here are all the details you need to know:

Make a card using any shades of pink and any kind of sparkle/bling 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 M4TW15 so we can see your creations there as well.

Now for something fun that we're doing to celebrate Paper Makeup's first birthday. Every Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge for the month of February is going to have a PRIZE!! Katie will have a special goodie back for one random participant!! So play along!! :) You can also check out my blog for another fun Makeup 4 the Weekend birthday treat!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and get inky!!!

Guess what today is?

It's time for the Thursday Showoff...  Last week Christi Snow gave us an awesome Inspiration Challenge.  I love the room that was the inspiration... so after daydreaming about snuggling in that bed with a book and listening to the ocean breeze out my bedroom window, I got busy!  Teal-ish, black and white...delish!  Thanks Christi for a rockin' challenge, to the rest of the DT that played along and to all the PMS fans that played too!  Check back in tomorrow for the next Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge (there's gonna be a little extra somethin' somethin').  Hope you all have a fabulous day...happy stamping!

What a Party!

Well, it's been officially been a year! And what a wonderful party we had last night! I was online chatting well past midnight! We have some PHENOMENAL ideas for what you guys want to see from PMS in the next year!

We announced our winner of the blog comment contest last night at our party....

but for those who are curious.... the big congrats went to Jan Farnsworth!

Perhaps you're a little bummed you didnt win the $25 gift certificate to the store.

Well we are going to give you ways to win, all month long! Because in PMS land, we dont celebrate birthdays for only a day!

To start, how about another chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the store!

All you have to do is make a card using YOUR favorite PMS stamp!

Then link up your card here to Mr Linky! Easy Peasy!

And while you're at it... be sure to upload your cards to our gallery on Splitcoast and on PCP. How do you upload to a specific gallery? It's all about the "tag". When uploading your image, there is a little spot to fill out that says "tag". Be sure to put in "Paper Makeup Stamps, PMS" (not in quotes, thats just so you know what to put in) that way it's sure to go in our gallery.

Now whats in it for you? Well, we're bringing back the get your idea made into a stamp contest! Before it was just to create your own fairy. Well this time you can choose... fairy, monster, moody girl or wordart! Super fun right?

A winner will be chosen from the Splitcoast Gallery AND from the PCP gallery... 2 chances to win! But the same cards can be uploaded to both galleries. :)

And just because i havent posted any pictures in a minute... here are just a few from your Senior Paper Makeup Artists!

More Birthday Fun!

It's time for some more birthday fun!

If you are just tuning in today... you still need to do the birthday hop! Scroll down to the post below to start the fun with the hop!

As promised before... since we are not releasing rubber this month (it's a short month and we released late in january) but we ARE going to release some images in Digi format that have never been released as digi before! How fun is that?!

We are also still honoring our "new release" discount, but we're offering it on the entire store so you'll definitely want to check it out!

What's more?! We are clearing out our inventory of Shimmerz products. We will continue to sell shimmerz but would like to stock the smaller size spritz bottles and carry more of the lighter colors that go well with fairies, etc so for now, use the code SHIMMERZ (yes, it will work with our blog hop code!) and you'll get 25% off the shimmerz in addition to the 15% off your entire order! :)

Here's what images we are temporarily releasing as digi images! Great for the upcoming holidays! These stamps are already available as rubber stamps! :) They will be live on the site in time for the party tonight at 8pm CST!

It's Paper Makeup Stamps birthday!!!!

It's here! Today's the Day! PMS is 1 year old today!

It has been a super fun year! We have had an amazing design team! I have "met" so many talented and wonderful people. And I've been able to share a hobby and passion of mine with so many! I hope there are many more years to come!

Today is going to be a very fun day. We are going to start off with a blog hop! As we do with our release hops, each blog you will get a letter. Putting those letters together will give you a phrase. That phrase you can use as a voucher to get 15% off your order. Easy as that! The code will be good for one week, but is only offered for in stock quantities.

So let's get this party started!

Each design team member was asked to use her favorite stamp or set to make a card.

Tune back into the blog to see some old favorites turned into digis for the digi fans.

And also to get info on some challenges and contests.

And dont forget to join us tonight at 8pm CST in the PMS forum for some chatty fun and giveaways!!!

Leave a comments as you hop along! Hidden somewhere along the way is a $25 gift certificate to the PMS store! Winner will be announced tonight at the party!

Now hop on over to Katie's blog!
