Tuesday Meet n Greet with Dawn Knight!

Hiya everyone! Well, after getting home from the dr this morning i though... OOOO i need to make a blog post! And then i realized it was tuesday and said I WILL NOT FORGET THE MEET N GREET! hehe. Today design team member for you to meet is an absolute riot! I've had the pleasure of actually getting to meet her in person! She's so funny, so full of life! So without much further ado....

I would like you to more formerly meet.... DAWN KNIGHT!

First, here are the 6 questions we always ask!

When did you start stamping?

about 4 years ago and I was bit HARD by the stampin bug!

What first drew you to PMS?

the gorgeous fairy and the amazingly cute monsters

What's your favorite stamping color combo?

my fave color combo is anything with BROWN!!! I really love any shade, light dark whatever and any color just seems to go with it so well!

What else do you like to do?

I LOVE to knit, quilt scrapbook and paint

Where do you get inspiration from?

i get inspiration from everywhere... colors in houses that are painted in a great combo, flower colors... and sometimes i just get inspired by something that will pop into my head!

What's on your Ipod?

my I pod has everything from Frank sinatra to rob zombie to dean martin to heavy metal... it is kinda mixed up in there... sorta like my brain!!!

See, i told ya she's a riot.  :)  Now on to some fabby Dawn Knight Creations!

July Sneak Peek day 3!!

Happy 4th of July to all my US friends!  (happy belated Canada day to my canandian friends!  We're split half and half in my house!)

Today is day 3 of the July Digi release sneak peeks!  I'm so excited to show you these monsters today!  They are so stinkin' fun!  Steve has really outdone himself drawing up these bad boys!  

And before you ask... yes, many if not all of these monsters will be rubberized in the future.  I know there are a lot of rubber fans out there too.  So don't worry.  But as always, digis are cheaper, you get them instantly and you can resize, which is always nice!

Here are some sneaks of these new monsters, available on July 7th!

A new caliope... this time she's camping! This digi comes with the smore sentiment.





And then we have a new family member to the Horned family of monsters... His name is Calder (which means rough water!)






And here's a newcomer to the monsters... I'm sure you'll see more of this goofy Elephant! His name is Ed! And he's a playful rascal! First, here he is about to squash his little rabbit friend doing a cannonball!





And here's Ed again, off to school he goes! This digi comes with 2 sentiments! One says i love my teacher, and the other says thank you teacher!








Another new character we have, is jerry. Sweet jerry. I just wanna love on him! This digi comes with the sentiment Don't Get Carried Away!




Wanna win all these digi monsters?! Well you can! Just leave a comment here and let us know what YOU'd like to see a monster doing!
