November Sneak Peeks Day 3 - A monster of a day!

Hello friends! Please be sure to read all the way to the bottom of the post. We have some important information for you.

Today we have some new monsters (and a new tree!) to show you! All images designed by Steve Hammond, our resident monster madness dude!

Steve's eye never ceases to amaze me and I love when we get into our brainstorm of the next monster batch! They are just so fun!

Here is what the design team came up with...

First we have "Monster of a Gift". Perfect for a little boys christmas, but just as great for a birthday or other gift giving occasion!

Card by Lisa Kind

Card by Tangii Crain

Card by Lisa McKinney

Then we have our favorite earth friendly monster, George. Did you know "George" means of the earth. Such a friends earth loving monster from another world. If only we could all be like him. His companion stamps the recycle symbol and green is the new black sentiment are sold separately so you can get em if you want, or not. :)

Notepad & Post It Holder by Dawn Mercedes Barrett

Water Bottle Fashion Accessory by Randee Elsing

Here's Nole. Our merry little monster. Only he doesnt look so merry does he. He looks about like my husband does every year we go to decorate our christmas tree!

Card by Dawn Wheeler

Card by Tangii Crain

Well, I assume that all monsters are rough and tumble. Well, I guess that doesnt mean they have to be tough too! Here's BooBoo monster, in all his bandaid glory. His Feel Better Soon sentiment is sold separately and for only $1 so it's a great stamp to buy even if you arent a monster lover!

Card by Kim Stewart

Card by Christi Thorsen

Last but not least is not a monster at all! It's the Twisty Tree! Now at first glance the tree looks a little spooky, but i think it is just so much for for those fall to winter cards!

As mentioned earlier this week, dont forget to leave a comment on each day! Each day you leave a comment you are entered to win the entire release!

On an extra note of the day... a friend of ours from the stamping community has suffered a great loss. Sarah Anderson of http://scrampinmama.blogspot.com/ lost her 3 year old son this past Monday. It was unexpected and is still unexplained. Please pray for her and her family during this difficult time. Please check out Pink Cat Studio today as they have a special digi release for Sarah and be sure to tune in tomorrow to our blog for another charity stamp for sweet little Henry.

The FIRST Makeup For The Weekend Challenge!!

Hi peeps! It's Christi with the very first Makeup For The Weekend challenge!!! It will pretty much be the same as Paper Makeup Monday except on Friday's AND we will have a weekly winner!!

I thought we could start this weekend off with an easy challenge. How about ATC's?!
Forgive the horrible picture but I could not get thing baby to photograph right. :( I think I took about 20 pictures and this was the best. I am showing off a gorgeous sentiment from the new Grateful Thanks set from Paper Makeup.

Now check out the amazing design team creations for more inspiration! :)

Tina Hale with this simply stunning Christmas ATC...
Meli Mitchell with this ballerina beauty...
Randee Elsing with this absolutely adorable Halloween ATC set...
...and last but not least Lisa Kind with this adorable snowman ATC...
Lisa felt like her ATC was a little lonely so she put hers on a card!
Awesome job this week ladies!! If you would like to make your ATC into a card that would be awesome but please be sure to show off your ATC by itself and then with it on your card. :)

I hope everyone can play along this week! You do not have to use Paper Makeup Stamps to play along but if you've got them why not use them! When you play along be sure to link up your creations to Mr. Linky using a direct link to your ATC and if you upload to SCS/PCP please use keyword makeup4theweekend01 so we can see your creations there as well!! We will announce the winner of this challenge next Friday when we issue our next weekend challenge!!

Have a wonderful weekend and get inky!!!

Christi
