Digi Makeover Challenge #108 - Pretty in Pink/Awareness

Wow!  What an awesome turn out we had for our Anything Goes challenge!  There were so many amazing creations, it was so fun visiting all of your blogs!  So much creativity out there!!

Makes it hard to have just 1 winner when there were so many entries, and each one was fabulous!  But unfortunately, there can be only 1...but that lucky person is!:

# 66 - Kevin!!!

Congratulations!  Please send an email to Emily at digimakeover@gmail.com to claim your prize.  

And now for our next challenge.....

There are 2 parts/options with this challenge.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, it's such a hard experience for someone to go through, and showing them support is sometimes the best thing we can do.  If you wish to make an awareness card (can be for any awareness if you wish), that is totally fine, link them up!

If you wish not to make an awareness card, then stick with the first part of the challenge and use pink as your dominant color on your creation!

Just be sure to use a digi stamp with this week's theme and link your creation below to play along.  Don't forget that Paper Makeup Stamps has a great collection of digi images that you can view here. 

Here are some inspired creations from our Digi Makeup Artists!

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!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

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!

It's time to Rethink!

Rethink your first PMS card that is!

Tangii and Christi came up with an awesomely fun challenge for the PMS family to do the entire month of February in honor of our first birthday/anniversary!

The challenge is to dig out your first PMS card and rethink it.

You can make a CASE of it (which is to Copy And Selectively Edit for those new to the term)

or you can just rework it. Maybe to better show off your skills 1 year later, or maybe you have more fun supplies, or maybe there is just something that you think would make it better.

Maybe your original card is just an inspiration to a new one!

Whatever the case is.... rethink your card, and execute it!

So all month long (on sundays and tuesdays!) the Paper Makeup Artists are going to be showing off their first card and then rethinking it!

To start things off... Christi and I are going to show our cards first!

Here is my very first PMS card. I'm not sure if it qualifies since it's not a stamped image, but it's the original drawing the image came from! And i used it on a card to my hubby.

Here's my first card...

And the rethunk version, using the actual stamps from the Nuts About You set!

You can read all about that first card, and my announcement of my starting PMS here.

And now here's Christi's very first PMS card...

And here's her rethunk version (which in her case, is a little more of going off the inspiration of the first card.... which is a great idea too!) She has used Penelope, one of the very first of the Beautiful Day Fairies!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! We'd love to hear what you think about YOUR first PMS card! Feel free to join in on this challenge thats going on all month long!

OMG did you SEE?!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone's weekend was filled with wonderful christmas ness!

Mine was filled with a sick preschooler. Oh the joys of motherhood. At least it seems to have skipped everyone else in the house!

Since bringing back the OMG did you see, i've been browsing the web finding oh so cute cards and creations made using the stamps. Remember, if your card is showcased on the PMS blog as an OMG did you see card... you get your choice of a free digi! Just as a little thank you for showing off PMS so well!

here's what i have for you today!

This Penelope card by Martine McKnight of TheCraftTable.blogspot.com

Such a sweet (and GIRLIE) Argus card by Lauren Meader of My Time

Stop by these ladies blogs and leave them some love!
