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!

One last time, to rethink!

It's the last day of February. Our birthday month is soon to be over..... *SIGH*

BUT, that means that sneak peeks are soon to begin.... contest winners are soon to be announced

and a whole new month of fun is about to begin!

First, let's show off the final Paper Makeup Artists rethink cards!

First we have Amber Kroening...

Amber has used some of our first every PMS releases.... Dreck and Starstruck!

I love this card of Amber's. Just such a sweet card to send to a little boy... Well that amber is a smart one. To rethink her card... she turned it into a "she" version! GENIUS!

I also love that 1 sparkle star! What a super fun way to make it stand out!

Next we have Dawn Mercedes....

Dawn has used one of the first every Beautiful Day Fairies on her card named Penelope.

One of the reasons I snagged Dawn up to be on the original PMS design team is her mastering of watercoloring skills. Her cards are so striking ad this card is definitely no exception!

Here is her rethink card...

THis card is also equally stunning... but she took it one step further.... look what she did to the inside!

It's so so sweet! What a great card to send to someone with lots of goodies tucked away inside!

So thats our month of rethinks! Whew! I am truly blessed to have such an amazing and talented design team! They rock the stamps in so many ways! The first team has helped the company grow and the newest additions are just awesome and have brought new life and flavor! I love them all! Thank you guys so much!

If you are entering our contests to help in designing a PMS stamp (you can help design what a fairy will look like, a moody girl, a monster, or choose a quote you'd love to be made into a wordart!) There is still time today to upload your cards to the Splitcoast and PaperCraftPlanet galleries! All you have to do is make sure your tags in the gallery say PMS, Paper Makeup Stamps to make sure we can find them! 1 lucky stamper will be chosen at random from each website gallery to win! Cards can be uploaded until midnight tonight and winners will be announced tomorrow. The same card may be uploaded o both galleries.

GOOD LUCK!

Here's some inspiration from the design team!

Another Day to Rethink

It's time for another day to rethink!

For those that regularly follow our blog, i'm sure it's starting to get redundant explaining what

our "rethink" challenge is. Similar to how they always reintroduce the judges on tv shows like America's Next op Model, Project Runway and even American Idol.

SO - if you are confused.... check out THIS post to read all about it!

Today is Paper Makeup Artists Dawn Knight and Gabby Arriaza's turn to RETHINK their very first PMS cards!

Dawn Knight has been with us from the very beginning. One of the first "followers" of PMS and then one of the first applicants to the design team! Though she did take a short leave of absence (she had the cutest baby boy join her family!), she has always been a supporter!

Here is her first card...

Dawn always has loved the monsters! Here she is using one of our first monsters... Dreck!

Here is her remake. I think it's fantastic that she made the card for the same friend!

And dreck is now Dreckina! hahahahaha!

And next we have Gabby!

While Gabby didnt apply for the design team the first time around (shame on you gabby!) She has been a friend and supporter since the very first day!

Here is her very first card also using one of the very first releases, Lauren in Love.

I actually have the above card in my possession! Because i'm so special, Gabby sent me this card as a congrats for starting my own stamp company shortly after it all began! :)

I love how she took this lovey image, and turned it into a not just valentine's day love card! Thats the great think about love images. They really can be used all year around!

Thanks so much for tuning into our blog today! have you rethought your first card yet??

And our last one for ya today is by another honest to goodness fan who is present for everything and every challenge. Love her for that! Here's Heather Lee-Reppen's fun way to make Terry hold some balloons!
ETA: the actual card i was talking about...
