Cardabilities Sketch Challenge

This year, Paper Makeup Stamps is taking a different approach to our challenges. While we will still bring you challenges now and then directly from us, we have decided instead of hosting our own challenge every friday, this year we are sponsoring many of the challenge blogs that you may or may not already participate in!

Today starts the challenge from the Cardabilities Sketch Challenge blog that we are hosting.

Karan has provided this awesome sketch for your motivation...

Now the Cardabilities Design Team has made some awesome samples for you to see and many of them even use Paper Makeup Stamps! So be sure to check them all out!

But before you go over there, many of our designers have already played along and made these fun samples for you as well!

Moody for Monday?i

Are you Moody for Mondays? Well i know I usually AM moody on monday! Especially this monday! It's rainy and gross outside and my 3 year old seems to have scratchy throat so i kept him home from school. Of course he's not acting sick in the least, jumping around like a jack rabbit. Pun intended since his name is jack!

In case you havent seen, The Moody Girls are the newest collection to join PMS! Illustrator Cynthia Liu is just fantastic and really seems to get what is going on in my head. I love that!

Cynthia is preparing these images to sell prints of! Which means she's coloring them and making them look like the fantastic works out art that drew me to her in the first place! I'm going to have them plaster my wall! hahaha. Once they are ready to purchase, I will certainly let you all know!

Here is a little show off of Moody Goodness!

Thanks again and I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

PMS Monday: Let's Get Flappin'!

Happy Monday PMS peeps! It's Christi with another Paper Makeup Monday challenge!! I hope you guys enjoyed last Monday's release festivities AND got to play along in the PMS release party challenges! This week's Paper Makeup Monday challenge is a fun technique that was picked out by the extremely talented Jamie Morris: to make a flap card! Are you guys loving the new Moody Girls as much as I do? They are so fun and funky! AND they match Basic Grey dp perfectly! LOL Here is a shot of the inside of my card...
I actually made mine into a little notebook. Each page is sponged and has this awesome quote on them. Super easy and so cool in real life.

Ready to see the design team creations? They rocked this challenge this week...

Aren't they fantastic?! I hope you all can play along with us this week. Remember, you do not have to use Paper Makeup Stamps to play along but if you've got 'em why not use them!

Please link up to Mr. Linky with a direct link to your challenge creation and if you upload to SCS/PCP please use keyword PMSMC27 so we can see your creations there as well.

Now go get inky! Happy Stamping!!
