Release Party Wrap Up...

I know that everyone who went to the September Release Party last night had a bunch of fun chatting! And if you missed it, here is the lowdown!

The OCTOBER HOP...will be a MONSTER MASH theme!!! Designers and PMS fans will be able to participate together...in the mash...the monster mash...it was a grave yard smash... (Oops...I started singing there. Did you??) When you are doing your PMS shopping, be sure to put a couple of your favorite monsters into your cart! We can't wait to see some whimsy and creepiness from you next month. I wonder if we can get Katie to give a prize for the most creative monster creation!! If you want to participate, sign up through Mr. Linky:




Adrienne Dial was the winner of a new Baby Boris stamp for coming and bringing a friend to last night's Release Party! Congrats! Please email Katie so she can mail out your sweet new rubber addition. haha (katie at paper makeup dot com)

Another big announcement from last night was the theme of this month's PMS Makeover Challenges.

PMSMO4...BACK TO SCHOOL...

What a long and crazy month it's been!

It's June 23rd?! WHAT!? It seems like just yesterday I was leaving for my vacation on May 29th.

That was a month ago! And while I was only gone for about 2 weeks (a little longer than anticipated due to driving across the country with a 4 year old and a 20 month old!)

I want to sincerely apologize for how behind the company has been this month.

We are now totally caught up! It seemed like everyday (though i say we, it's just me) i tried to make a bigger dent in the to do, and the catch up list, and suddenly i would look at the clock and say, how it is time for bed already?! Of course having 2 little ones and a hubby who works about 12 hours a day 6 days a week in the summer didnt help the catch up plan either.

So i really do apologize!

On a more fun note, now that everything is caught up, and the new PMS office is put together (ok, it's still partially in shambles, but we're working on it!)

The new DT is working with the current DT (we'll announce our new team on the 1st)

So what's next?! Well, my birthday is this weekend! So what am i going to do?

I'm going to offer a sale! Thats right! It's a 10% discount site wide!

You can even use it on the Celestial Possibilities makeup kit which is already $10 off it's retail price! This sale will go from now thru June 27th. Use the code JUNESAVE10 in your cart.

Whats more, i'm even going to let you use this code with other sale codes!

And now, just because i haven't posted any pretties for you to see on the blog in a bit, just a few wonderful creations from the awesome Paper Makeup Artists!

PMS Monday: Who's Got The Button?

Happy Monday!! It's Christi welcoming you to another Paper Makeup Monday Challenge!! This week the wonderful Dawn Knight is this week's design team challenger and her challenge is to use buttons!! I am on a button kick right now so this challenge was perfect for me...Yes, this is me and my husband on our one year anniversary. I can't believe how *ahem* healthy we looked! LOL :) I thought I would keep it simple and only use one button on my creation but not everyone went this route. Check out these button-crazed creations from the design team...

Use as many or as few as you want but there must be a button on your creation somewhere. Easy peasy right? I hope everyone can play along with us this week! You never know when we might give away some candy to one of our participants so play along! If you do not have PMS stamps don't worry about it-just use what you have!! If you do have PMS why not show it off!!

Please link up a direct link to your creation to Mr. Linky below (if Mr. Linky happens to not be there for one reason or another just post a link in the comments section). If you upload to SCS/PCP please use keyword PMSMC19 so we can see all of your creations there as well!!

Happy Stamping!!

Fairy Sneak Peeks!

Let the july sneak peeks begin! Just like last month, each day a different collection will be previewed. As always, these are available as singles. This month we're doing something a little different and offering digis of all the stamps. The most popular ones will be turned to rubber, so all the rubber fans don't need to worry! But we've had an enourmous request to also offer digi, SO we will offer digi one these, some for a limited time as they get turned into rubber and we have new digis come about!

Why go digi? Well the nice part is the ability to resize as needed. Also is affordability, storage, no shipping costs, and instant gratification! We hear you! Why is it good on our end? Well, we get to offer exactly what you want. We can find out ahead of time what the demand is so we can have the appropriate stock. The list goes on. But we do want you to know that we arent going all digi and many will become rubber very soon. :)

Releases will go live on the site at 9pm EST on July 7th! Mark your calendars now! :)

This month we have 5 new fairies for your eager viewing eyes! Here is a lineup from the design team...
