It's time for another Rethink day!

Sorry this post is going up a little late today everyone!

Today is another day to rethink! If you dont have a clue what i'm talking about, this month all the Paper Makeup Artists are "rethinking" their very first PMS card! You can read the details HERE!

Today it's Senior Paper Makeup Artist Lisa Kind (one of our very first design team members!) and one of our most recent and fabulous addition to the design team, Danni Bindel's turn to share their remakes!

First up, is Lisa Kind...

Here is her very first PMS card using one of our very first fairies, Chelly.

Below is her remake... she added on a sentiment from the Fairy Sentiment Set, which wasnt added into the Paper Makeup Stamps collection until a few months after she made her original card.

Both of them are pretty great if you ask me!

And next up, are 2 more fabulous cards by Danni Bindel.

Above is her original using Elle the Easter Fairy.

And below is her equally adorable Elle card!

So have you made YOUR remake yet?

Random.org picked entry #9 so congratulations Debbie G!!!! Please email Katie your address and she will get your special goody bag out to you!!

This week's featured Makeup Artist is the wonderful Dawn Barrett who has challenged everyone to make a treat box or candy holder. Since my gift will be going to a lucky commenter on my blog, I thought instead of a Vday treat I'd do a birthday treat!

Helping a Friend...

Every once in awhile, it's nice to help out a friend. Not because you feel an obligation. Not because the friend has asked. Not even because the friend has suffered a tragedy. Just because sometimes, we all need a little bit of support. This is one of those times. Someone near and dear to many of us, is in a rough patch. And together, we can help. We can help her push thru this struggle. We can help her get thru this!

This person, is our friend (and design team member) Gabby Arriaza. Gabby and her family have come upon a hardship that is proving to be more than they can handle on their own. You can read more about it on her blog.

Gabby has been a bit too proud to ask anyone for help but this is our Gabby! We simply cannot sit idly by and let our dear friend face all of this alone.

Since Gabby is one of the rockinest stampers out there, I spoke with Cynthia about designing a rockstar moody girl. Whats fun about this digi is also that she is the only moody available as a digi stamp! Gabby herself has also supplied some word art and we have another digi sentiment available.

These sales will all go directly to the Arriaza family.

We all thank you for time and time again helping us to help others.

The team has really pooled together and created some outstanding samples for you!

Post 2 of the Rethink Challenge!

Hello everyone! Today is day 2 of the "rethink your first PMS card" challenge!

A quick recap.... all month long the Paper Makeup Artists are going to take their very first card using PMS stamps and they are going to "rethink" it. There are lots of ways to "rethink". You can case it, improve it, redo it, just take inspiration on it, etc. To read more about this challenge... Go to the first rethink post!

Today's Paper Makeup Artists are

Lisa McKinney and Tina Hale!

Here is Lisa's very first PMS card...

She has used Buggy Sayings for both of her cards.

Here is her rethink...

Personally, i think both are adorable!

And now onto Tina's! Here is her very first card using PMS!

Ahem... that quote stamp is not PMS. HAHAHA, totally joking, tina! But look at that Swirlie Tree in the background. I always forget about using that as a background stamp!

Here is her Rethink!

Now THAT quote (Become so wrapped) is a PMS stamp! :) I love this card, it's so bright and fun and I need whatever she used for that lattice work!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great one!

the website is back!

Ok, the website seems to be back up and running. It was a problem on the larger end of the company that hosts my server, so we're hoping that there wont be any more glitches!

And just for a little bit of eye candy, i'm going to show off a few cards from the Paper Makeup Artists. :)
