Holy cow there was a lot of participation last week in the digi challenge! So much that I couldnt just not play this week! I hope the winner enjoys her new digis! It's that easy to play along, just use a digi and also our challenge for the week. It does not need to be a paper makeup stamps digi. I'm a little partial to them myself. hehe.</div>

This week's challenge is to create a thank you card. These are the cards I reach for most in my stash so I can always use extras. </div>

Here I have one of the PMS fairies named Melody and a sentiment from the Everyday Thanks set (which was added to the site as a digi set just for this challenge!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have a new digi collection that is being sold as a set and a portion of proceeds will go to the Susan G Komen Foundation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The DigiMakeover challenge for today is to THINK PINK (fitting, we know. Michelle is a smart cookie that way when she sets up the challenges!) All images and word art on my cards below is from the new set which you can also purchase<a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1496" target="_blank"> HERE.</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, i haven't fallen off the face of the earth, though in terms of crafting I sure have!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PHEW is all I have to say! I have just been SLAMMED busy with work. I am not at all complaining!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wedding season around here is in full force and between my bookings and the bookings of my artists on my team... well i have just stayed extremely busy. THat and my boudoir photography has really taken off so thats definitely exciting! Still, i miss crafting and I really need to carve out some time in my schedule for it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since tomorrow is the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, I decided to create a card accordingly! And since it's monday and another Digi Makeover challenge day, I used Michelle's fabulous sketch for my inspiration!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one of the floral images from the <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1468" target="_blank">Faith Hope Love digi set</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I typed the Hope word using one of my new favorite commercial fonts! Keep your eyes peeled for more word art with this font in the future!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, i'm pooped after wedding mania this weekend and I'm just proud i squeaked a card in there, but my eyes are beyond heavy and tomorrow I have a meeting in the morning, a bridal consult and then a photoshoot in the afternoon so i better get to bed! So glad for auto posting! :D</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday there was a new digi release of word arts from Paper Makeup Stamps. I'm pretty proud of this batch as I was trying out a new style for PMS. They make me happy, and after all, thats all that really matters, right?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card using one of my favorite mottos of all time!</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My cards don't often have an exact destination once making them but this one definitely does. This has been one of my BFF's since oh, the womb, and my motto from long ago. The colors on this card are her favorite color combo as well so i'm sure she will love it. :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Now as I mentioned in a previous post this week, i feel like i'm in an awful rut with card layouts. So i did what i always do when i need a little card making inspiration... I went over to <a href="http://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Julee's blog</a> or the <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mojo Monday</a> challenge blog to get a better layout! I LOOOOOOVE Julee's layouts! I pretty much just stuck to the basics on this one. I was going to embellish it a bit more, but quite frankly, i forgot. Ah well!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, Paper Makeup Stamps is releasing a charity digi stamp set for one of our design team members. Before I simply type the same post all over again, I will direct you to the <a href="http://papermakeupstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">PMS company blog</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you read it? Jen has been such a sweet sweet team member and fan of PMS before she ever was a team member. I was heartbroken when I learned the news of her breast cancer. Not heart broken for myself, but heart broken for her and her family. As she continues treatment, I know that the financial struggle must be, well, a struggle! I really hope that you take a moment to check out the <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1483" target="_blank">new digi stamp set</a>. ALL proceeds will be going directly to Jen and her family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my first card made with this set...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first asked Diem if she would illustrate a matching sunshine to the Jen Fairy, i didnt realize it would be the CAHUTE! I love love love this sunshine. it lights up my face!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do want to give a shout out to <a href="http://www.mawns.com/" target="_blank">Måns Grebäck</a> who gave me a pretty good deal on a font bundle since there were too many of his awesome fonts for me to purchase each one separately. You ROCK, Måns!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I printed the sunshine out on Copic XPress It cardstock and colored with Copic markers (Specifically, Y13, Y15, Y19, YR04, YR07, YR09, YR02) and then cut it out. I layered papers from American Crafts (ones from the PMS Will to Daydream kit!) and used some ribbon by Stampin' Up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now please please please go leave <a href="http://www.justcoffeepleasestampsribbonspaper.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">JEN</a> some love and <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1483" target="_blank">buy</a> this super fun set!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What is YOUR favorite holiday? Well making a card for your favorite holiday is exactly what we were challenged with for this week's Digi Makeover challenge at PMS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a hard time deciding what my favorite holiday is! haha! I guess i just love to celebrate. I love to decorate. I love the excuse to wear silly socks, eat candy and cookies. I like to act like a kid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Birthdays, Christmas even valentine's day and halloween. All fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then i really started to think... ok.. if i had to narrow it down to one... whats my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got a little sappy, and thought about my kiddos (who are currently in another state, visiting my parents for a week) and i thought... ya know... i just really love being around family at Christmas time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love the surprise and excitement over the entire christmas holiday. not because of the gifts you get (honestly, i like to give them more than I like to get them) but just the warmth and love of Christmas. So obviously... i need to make a christmas card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then i remembered a PMS stamp... it's one of my <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1428" target="_blank">favorite movie lines</a> of all time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew exactly what to do for my card. :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z7Ri4mwj8IM/UAzTPywa0LI/AAAAAAAAJaY/YRerLDlcwgg/s1600/12+-+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z7Ri4mwj8IM/UAzTPywa0LI/AAAAAAAAJaY/YRerLDlcwgg/s640/12+-+1" width="592" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1428" target="_blank">What If Christmas</a> along with one of the images from the <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1370" target="_blank">Framed</a> set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love digis because i was able to make these work perfectly with each other! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure to check out the company blog for more samples BUT also make sure to come back tomorrow (I know, 2 posts in a ROW) but i have a very very special post about someone near and dear to my heart and a NEW digi set being released just for her!!! You won't want to miss it!</div>

Well fiddlestix! You cant be gone a day! haha! I had my post scheduled to go since I was traveling, and apparently it didnt post! So here we go! Trying again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's another Monday so another day for a PMD digi makeover challenge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ironically, last week was the monochromatic challenge. In my effort to be ahead, a few weeks ago I colored a bunch of images so that after a long wedding weekend, I could grab an image and make my card. I even thought ahead and colored my monochromatic image! AND THEN I FORGOT! hahahahaha! So i made my card for the monochromatic challenge and plum forgot i already had a colored image. Ah well. I used it this week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week we were challenged to use some dimension on our cards using digis. Here is what I came up with!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who knows me, or has followed my blog for a bit knows that i absolutely LOVE monochromatic! So when the challenge leader, Michelle Van Patten, issued the challenge to use monochromatic colors so way on our cards for this weeks challenge, i was THRILLED!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see more monochromatic-ness i've done by clicking on the label <a href="http://papermakeup.blogspot.com/search/label/monochromatic" target="_blank">monochromatic</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is my card for today...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZ2IWEYFquW7U1_TeHYkzePBHs8T2Kb2U0_HZ3U8sTGMB7olwRhJdQueb_5L11wFx6M79zWLdS61i-aqRHdnr5dZvCR4BBb1yBgCalCnCHIuHU6UCHJIra5c4ISt26TB-JHByi1PReNyJ/s1600/Photo1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZ2IWEYFquW7U1_TeHYkzePBHs8T2Kb2U0_HZ3U8sTGMB7olwRhJdQueb_5L11wFx6M79zWLdS61i-aqRHdnr5dZvCR4BBb1yBgCalCnCHIuHU6UCHJIra5c4ISt26TB-JHByi1PReNyJ/s640/Photo1-1.jpg" width="555" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a new to digi (but one of the first fairy images for rubber) <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1478" target="_blank">Emma</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And since i was using her in a digi form, I decided to enlarge her a bit, but then cut off her legs so that the image was a little more about her sunny disposition on her face. Though i really love her little rain boots so it was a bit painful to not include them. haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used the sentiment, <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1004" target="_blank">a cloudy day</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The image was colored with the topic marker cool greys and then the rain and wings were drawn over with a glitter pen. How could you not smile if you lived in a world where it rain glitter! (please refrain now from breaking into the Ke$ha song in your head like i just did... and if you did, i apologize!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Its Monday, so it's time for another Digi Makeover Challenge, but wait... i never got my card from LAST week posted! HAHA! I was having some internet issues, so I did get my card sent via phone to Michelle who posted it on the company blog, but I just realized it never was posted over here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week was so crazy, I was on 2 production jobs, so between those, home life and other work related this and thats, well, i guess i just never realized it wasnt posted. Better late than never, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my card from last week! I used Wally monster. I just love that guy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The papers are from one of our old card kits, Will to DayDream. <span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">(manufacturer, American Crafts)</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now into this week's challenge... to make an Easel card!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card duo...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99JA7ZIchqykEzPOaJ2nx41JHEFwEHGoIRAlhzyhnf1dVbivpapdXYWSyyJQ_21j4gWZFhNPlv_Qr_ozsGqW9hFaLA4zdljgBjVryS6laiZVa0pQbnPPLN1pabws9SFcv_kw8fZRcBXlV/s1600/IMG_0137.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99JA7ZIchqykEzPOaJ2nx41JHEFwEHGoIRAlhzyhnf1dVbivpapdXYWSyyJQ_21j4gWZFhNPlv_Qr_ozsGqW9hFaLA4zdljgBjVryS6laiZVa0pQbnPPLN1pabws9SFcv_kw8fZRcBXlV/s400/IMG_0137.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The great this about easel cards is that there are a lot of things you can do with them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this case, I created cards but put my boys teachers names on the base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The names were printed with my favorite font (you might notice it's the same one I use for Paper Makeup Stamps!) and the digi is <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1103" target="_blank">While We Teach</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The inside has a sweet thank you note from the<a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/search.php?search_query=everyday+thanks&submit_search=Search" target="_blank"> everyday thanks set</a> (actually hand stamped in this case as it was a last minute though and I had already glued down my paper!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC8uU6FFfA8195Z-DxyVjwby5keC1Q7uKJLsNka9xykCSmROhcib5E8BTn9E4xK0houSKBjALvCpXTDUQFd_aVzLUEtNiQlS4DFPT8gpcYMGhL68-zJLIa5fCt7gKsTiJclpwUeLgwLEPm/s1600/IMG_0140.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC8uU6FFfA8195Z-DxyVjwby5keC1Q7uKJLsNka9xykCSmROhcib5E8BTn9E4xK0houSKBjALvCpXTDUQFd_aVzLUEtNiQlS4DFPT8gpcYMGhL68-zJLIa5fCt7gKsTiJclpwUeLgwLEPm/s400/IMG_0140.jpeg" width="325" /></a></div>

It's another Monday and another day for a PMS digi makeover challenge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I was so thrilled to see so many participants in last week's challenge! Remember you do not have to use a PMS digi to play, any digi will do. But of course i love seeing those PMS digis! hehehehe. Shameless plug. :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
This week, our digi team coordinator, Michelle, challenged us to a Things with Wings challenge. Wll good gravy there are a lot of PMS stamps with wings so it was hard to even choose an image to play with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
In the end I decided on Nell Fairy. And again, this was previously not a digi on the site and just a rubber stamp so I decided to add it to the shop along with Carma and Wayne from the same release. :D You can see the latest digi adds <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/new-products.php" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

Papers are all from Daisy Bucket (an older collection, i'm in a desperate attempt to use UP paper that i've hoarded rather than buy new!) And the image was colored with copic makers (R00, R30, R32, R35, R37, R39, E00, E21, E23, E25, E27, B000, B00, B02, B04, YG11, YG13, YG17)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back from my hiatus! Sorry i've missed the past couple of weeks in the digi makeover challenge. Just so much going on around here! And then last week my good friend Ginger came down with the flu. She and her husband both! So I took her boys (ages 18 months and 4 months) and kept them for sunday and monday and kinda forgot that i made my craft room into their bedroom while they were here! Whoops!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhoo - this week's challenge we are seeing spots! Spots of any type will do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And your only other requirement for the challenge is to use a digi stamp. It doesn't have to be a PMS stamp, but you know we love to see 'em if you've got 'em!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=1474" target="_blank">Freckled Lemonade digi set</a> (newly added to the site as a digi, though there are still some rubber sets available!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The paper used it all from Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday and I used copic markers to color the image and the corduroy button is a past in color button from Stampin Up in pacific point. It's not NEARLY as blue in person as it is on the card. Ah, don't you know what photography can do! hahahaha. Ah well, it matches in person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing i saw in this photo was the blue bird in the top left corner of the quilt. I new instantly that I wanted to use the Tweet Things set. Which, up to this point hadn't been released in digital form yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, i'm not the owner for nothin'! So I added it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>

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</div>

This is <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=974">Caliope with a flower</a>. I heart this stamp. Just looking at it makes me smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've paired it with one of my favorite sentiments that PMS has. It reads "you make this world a better place". I honestly can't think of a better compliment than that and would be most honored if anyone sent me a card that said it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I colored the image with copic markers (Caliope is R81, 83, 85 and 89 for those who may be wondering!)</div>
