Makeup 4 the Weekend #46

Thank you guys so much for your patience. My schedule has been sheer insanity lately but here I am and that's all that matters. :)

Randee has a super-fun challenge for us this week and here is the description in her own words:

O.K. girls here's a fun MFTW for you - let's rock out!! Make a card that is

inspired by a song AND if you can, link up that song to play on your blog!! I thought of this when clicking around the blogs and some of you have awesome music linked up to play! I thought this would be fun to see and HEAR what inspired you :0)

Can you guess which song I was inspired by??

If you want to see check out my blog. :) Now check out Randee's awesome eye candy...

She had me at stitching...LOL!! This is too stinkin' cute!! I have a feeling which song inspired Randee but to be 100% sure be sure to check out her blog and give her some love.

Now get more inspiration from more of the Makeup Artists:

Now how would you like to win a single stamp of your choice? Here's all you have to do:

1. Participate in the challenge
2. Use PMS images (stamped or digi)

Easy right?!! Link up your creation by midnight on Wednesday to be included in the Thursday Showoff and to be in the drawing for some free rubbah. While you don't have to use Paper Makeup Stamps to play in the challenge, you do need to use them to be entered in the drawing. Don't forget to mention the challenge in your post, and when you upload to SCS/PCP use the keyword M4TW46 so we can see your creations there as well. Also, be sure your link is directly to your challenge card to make it easier on those of us who love to comment. :)

Thanks for playing along! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Looking for Halloween?

Are you still looking for some Halloween stamps? Well PMS has 'em!

Card by Randee Elsing

Last year we released many fun halloween monsters and such. Well, while doing a inventory haul, we found not only did we have some left, but we have more than we thought probably do to plate repressings during other times of the year. SO, we are putting all of the halloween stamps we have overstock of on a big sale! The stamps will still be available in the future, but this sale won't! Check them out! Orders will ship immediately!

Card by Katie Cotton

Card by Christi Thorsen

We have other previously released fall stamps on sale as well. Check our our Clearance & Sales section of our site. Don't fear, we aren't taking any stamps out of inventory, just equalling out our inventory! Take advantage while you can before prices returned to regular retail!

Also - for those who are still interested in our Halloween Card kit.. the Witch Stamp is IN THE HOUSE!!!

Card by Lisa Kind

Have a wonderful day!

Makeup Artist Spotlight

This week we are Spotlighting Senior Makeup Artist Lisa Kind (Kind Creations). If you've not surfed Lisa's blog recently, I highly recommend a visit! It's a fabulous place for inspiration! I just love her "shading/sponging".

Lisa has 2 favorite PMS creations, the first is this beautiful Rose card. Here's what Lisa has to say about her 2 fav's... "My fav PMS card: I'm giving two! The first one is Rose fairy. I love this card because of the pretty color combo. It always just jumps out at me when I look back at it...

The other is the Lisa fairy because she was named for me! How's that for narcissism? LOL!!"

Katie and Diem did an amazing job when creating the Lisa Fairy! I went over to Lisa's blog to pick my favorite, as soon as I got there the very latest card... "oh that's my favorite!" then I scrolled down a little, "oh, no wait I like this one too". I did this on page after page after page of her blog until I came across this... you can go here to read her post. This is a fabulous piece, and I love everything about it. The embellies are perfect, the colors are right on and the layout is just right!! But my favorite part is that she show cased her Dad!

Lisa & I have been on the PMS DT from the beginning together, and while I just love her fiestiness and the one liners she comes up with to the group; it's only been the last several months that I've chatted with her one on one a little. I have to say she is certainly one of those "the more you chat with her the more you like her" types! I truly adore Lisa, and if you don't already you will when you get to know her ;) Enough of my gushing, read on for yourself...

1. When did you get started stamping? I think it was in 2003. My girlfriend had a SU party and I enjoyed it. But I was just into scrapbooking then and stamping was something I did occasionally. But in 2006 I found SCS and it's be stamping ever since!

2. Tell me 5 songs or artists on your iPod right now. Rolling Stones, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Various Classic Rock bands, Rolling Stones. Can you tell I'm a Rolling Stones fan? I LOVE them! :-)

3. All Stylists have a go to accessory or tool... what's yours? I love Star Dust Stickles! They add a lot of sparkle, are clear, and very easy to use.

4. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? I can only choose one? I guess chocolate, but I love black raspberry and hot fudge sundaes!

5. Where do you find inspiration? I love sketches and can work well from them. I love Mojo Monday, SCS, Sweet Sunday, Taylored Expressions, and Sketch for You to Try sketches. I also get inspiration from decorative paper.

6. Do you have a favorite technique or style? I always look back at my work and try to figure out what my style is! I don't think I have one. I do, however, use Spellbinders dies on almost all of my cards and love to swirl ink around the image while it's still in the die, so I guess that's my style.

7. What is your favorite color palette? Anything with brown! I love brown and all autumnal colors! But having said that, I like a lot of soft combos as well as vibrant combos. I find I don't like much with purple.

8. When your 'mojo' takes a spa day without you, what gets your creative juices flowing again? I go to the spa with my mojo!

9. When you aren't stamping, what do you like to do? I love to read. I just bought a Nook and have done lots of reading this summer. My reading takes a back seat somewhat when I'm back in teaching mode, but I always have a book on my nightstand.

10. Tell us something, not stamping related, about you... I love dogs, traveling, my cabin, clothes/shoes/jewelry, and Mick Jagger! Yes I said Mick Jagger! I get a lot of flack for that, but he's been my idol since I was around 5 years old (thanks to my brother's and cousin's love for the Rolling Stones)! I also love the girls on my design teams. I know that's sort of stamping related, but these girls are the best in town!

That's all I have for you today about Lisa. You can leave a comment for her here or better yet head over to her blog, check out some eye candy and leave her a comment there (make sure you tell her I said "hey").
