Happy Monday!

Well, i had intentions to do a design team show off post today. it's been far too long since we've had one of those, but blogger is not liking me and after trying to upload pictures at least 2 dozen times, i was able to get 2 up. SO, enjoy these 2 and we'll try to get some more up later! :)

Dont forget, only a few days left of the MEGA sale before all prices return to regular retail!

It's time for another Rethink day!

Sorry this post is going up a little late today everyone!

Today is another day to rethink! If you dont have a clue what i'm talking about, this month all the Paper Makeup Artists are "rethinking" their very first PMS card! You can read the details HERE!

Today it's Senior Paper Makeup Artist Lisa Kind (one of our very first design team members!) and one of our most recent and fabulous addition to the design team, Danni Bindel's turn to share their remakes!

First up, is Lisa Kind...

Here is her very first PMS card using one of our very first fairies, Chelly.

Below is her remake... she added on a sentiment from the Fairy Sentiment Set, which wasnt added into the Paper Makeup Stamps collection until a few months after she made her original card.

Both of them are pretty great if you ask me!

And next up, are 2 more fabulous cards by Danni Bindel.

Above is her original using Elle the Easter Fairy.

And below is her equally adorable Elle card!

So have you made YOUR remake yet?

One last sad goodbye-- we hope!

Man, we have another sad goodbye for everyone! It's one i've known was coming. It doesnt make it any less sad. Our sad goodbye today is to Meli Mitchell...

Meli is going back to school! We are so very very proud of her! However, she wants to be sure she has the time to dedicate to her studies. She as promised she wont be a stranger! And we've told her the door is open for her! :)

What will we miss about Meli? Well, a lot! Her bright and vibrant cards! He upbeat, funny and slightly zany personality. her absolute love for all things PMS.

She

will

be

missed!

Here are some of my favorite Meli cards...

Now dont you fear about our dwindling design team! Haha! The current design team's term was originally only until september. We just loved them all so much, we never wanted to say goodbye. We do have a new team to announce to you very very soon! So stay tuned in! :)

Countdown to Christmas, Week 7

Hello everyone! It's time for another Countdown to Christmas sale!

If you arent aware of our countdown to christmas, every saturday for the 12 saturdays before christmas we announce a new sale that runs thru the week.

The sale is over next friday night at midnight!

This week's sale is one that many have been waiting on! It's a Fairy sale!

Thats right, those fairies that have become the signature of Paper Makeup Stamps are

on sale this week for a very special discount. For every 2 Fairies you buy, you get 1 free!

Now here's where it may seem to get a little tricky. We arent able to get the website to recognize a sale like this, so we have to use voucher codes. You'll need to use the appropriate voucher code. Orders with the incorrect voucher code will be cancelled and refunded and will need to be replaced in order to ship.

Here are your codes...

For those who like 'em bare For those who like 'em mounted

1 free fairy - 1bare 1 free fairy - 1mounted

2 free fairies - 2bare 2 free fairies - 2mounted

3 free fairies - 3bare 3 free fairies - 3mounted

4 free fairies - 4bare 4 free fairies - 4mounted

REMEBER: for each free fairies, you must have ordered 2 paid for fairies. :) So for example, and order using the voucher code 3bare must have a total of 9 bare fairies in their cart.

This voucher code can not be used with any other discounts or codes.

This sale is only good for in stock quantities, so get em while you can!

Here's a little fairy inspiration for you!

I know you all are going to hate me for having digis only this month! So i will work on getting some of these turned into rubber... so dont worry!

Let's Stamp Out Alzheimer's!

So, you may notice that this post is going up at 12:01 am (or maybe it'll be 12:05! This actually isnt a prescheduled post! I'm still up!) That is because the Stampin' Out Alzheimer's event is offically started!

A bit back, I was contact by Susanna Boyd (a friend of mine, and the founder of Paper Craft Planet) and she asked if I would help and be a sponsor for a fundraising event she was hosting with Jen Tapler. I of course said that i'd love to help out! I just love Susanna! She told me all about the event, to be called Stampin' Out Alzheimers, and why she and Jen were putting it on.

Alzheimer's is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States. This was a fact that I had no idea of! 5.3 million people suffer from it including Jen Tapler's father and Susanna's grandmother. Which is just 1 of the reasons they've decided to put on this event. After letting the design team know that PMS would be a sponsor, I learned that Lisa Kind's father passed away from this disease. It is something that affects so many and at this point, there is no cure.

To become a member, go to http://www.stampinoutalzheimers.ning.com
The suggested donation is $5. Once you are a member you will have access to all kinds of fun things! There are oodles of challenges (all with prizes attached! Freebie downloads. And daily prizes given away at random. It is a 7 day event so there is a lot of time to get in on the action!

PMS is hosting a challenge called "Any Winged Thing". It's easy to play, just use "any winged thing" on your card! It can be a fairy, a butterfly, bumblebee, angel, bird, the list really is endless! Please use the tag PMSSOA in the gallery so we can easily see all the cards in one place! 1 Lucky winner will get a gift certificate of $25 to use at the PMS store!

Members of the Stampin Out Alzheimers event will also get a coupon code to the PMS website for 10% off their order. You'll just have to look for our blinkie in the sidebar to get the code. :)

There are more ways to get some PMS goodness too! There are some stamp singles in the daily give aways and our very own Lisa Kind is sponsoring a Copic Coloring Challenge that ALSO has a $25 gift certificate to the PMS store (you can buy copics, stamps, whatever your heart wants! Thanks so much Lisa!)

And of course, as always, my fabby design team stepped up to the plate to help promote this cause!













So we really hope you'll come over and say hi!!! It's such a worthy cause and bound to be a lot of fun!!!
