Another Monday with PMS

>> Monday, April 30, 2012

It's another fantabulous Monday with Paper Makeup Stamps and we have another digi makeover challenge for you! This week we've been challenged to use a sketch for our card! I really wanted to use Moody for Showers which isn't available on the PMS site yet as a digi. Lucky for me, i'm the owner so I just added it to the site so I could use it on my card today! haha! Yu can find this new digi HERE!

And now here is my card for today!

It uses the sketch below for the challenge

Be sure to check out the PMS company blog for more awesome samples from the design team!

PMS Digi Makeover challenge

>> Monday, April 23, 2012

Phew... I don't know about you, but April is kicking my tail!

I'm very sorry i've been gone the last 2 challenges from PMS and in turn, not made a single post on my blog. I'm still trying to find a balance between work, my boys and crafting and aside from packing stamp orders, the actually crafting side gets to come last in the grand scheme of things.

But today Michelle challenged us to make a birthday card and i can ALWAYS use a birthday card so I made sure to participate this week, even if it is a simple card.

Ahh... the glorious thing about digis! I took the Another day word art and enlarged it so that it could be a true focal point of the card. But i still felt like it missed something, so I layered Lar's Gifts behind it and changed the opacity so it would just be a shadow image. After that, well the card is pretty much a snap to put together. :D

Be sure to check out the PMS company blog for more great inspiration from the team!!!!

Ack, my post didnt post!

Ugh, my post scheduled for today was actually a draft! I hate it when that happens!

Anyhoo - here is my Digi Makeover Challenge post! Late, but better late than never!

Our digi team leader, Michelle, gave us a super fun challenge this week!

It's called a tic tac toe challenge!

Here is what it looks like...

Now you pick your line of 3 and run with it! How fun! I've never actually seen a challenge like this so i thought it was such a refreshing idea!

I chose to go with Fairy, Sparkle and Flowers!

Unfortunately in my photo you can't so much see the sparkle but she is glitzed out with stickles and then the chipboard flowers are coated in glitter as well. :D Plus a but of bling on the card as well. :D

So thats it! Check out the Paper Makeup Stamps blog for more inspiration and to get in on the challenge!

Who I Am!

I'm a mama to 2 awesome little dudes, Jack (6) and Gabe (3) and a wife to a wonderful man. My life is very full and I am richly blessed! I have been a professional makeup artist for a over a decade (holy crap!) but I just LOVE to stamp and scrapbook! So in February of 2009 I started my own stamp company called, what else but... Paper Makeup Stamps! I truly love everything that I do! In 2010 I started to also do a bit of photography and by the end of 2011 I was so blessed and busy with makeup and photo work, that PMS had to turn into a digi based stamp company and I had to resign from the design teams I felt so lucky to be on but I had to refocus my extra time on family. My postings on my blog may not be as frequent as they once were, but I'm still honored that you've decided to peek in!
