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!

OMG did you SEE?!

PMS has had a card published on www.examiner.com. You can see a link to the article... HERE

Also in the article is a WONDERFUL charity cause to donate cards to the Orphan Foundation of America! In celebration of World Card Making Day, Angela of Angela's Happy Stamper is collecting cards to send to former foster children who are attending colleges and trade schools and are soley responsible for their own higher education.

If you live in Virginia, Angela's store in is Reston and you can take your cards directly to the store and get a coupon to get 30% off any 1 item!

However, if you dont live close to the store... you can still have some savings... on PMS that is!

Once you've made your cards and addressed the envelope... please take a picture of your package and email it to katie@papermakeup.com or make a post on your blog about the cards you've made and that you are mailing them off (and email me to let me know where to check out the post). Your email will be replied to with a 10% off voucher to be used ON THE ENTIRE SITE! Thats right, 10% off your entire order whether it's stamps, copics, spellbinders, or what have you! :) That could be some pretty big savings. :)

The card guidelines are simple:
No glitter – It’s pretty but it gets all over everything in the Care Package
No religious messages
No mention of them being in foster care or orphaned
No envelopes – each card has to be reviewed prior to being sent

Suggested words or encouragement:
"Keep up the good work!"
"We know you can do it!"
"You will succeed!"

Essentially anything you think a college-aged student would want or need to hear to stay motivated.


How to sign your cards: * this is just for an example
First Name Only: Katie*
Organization (optional): Paper Makeup Stamps*
City and State: Greenville, SC*
Do not include any contact information (i.e., address, telephone numbers or e-mail address).


And now... here's some eye candy for you!
