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!

Wednesday Meet n Greet with Tangii Crain

I know we usually have our Meet N Greet on Tuesday, but if you read the blog yesterday, there was some much more important to post. If you were unable to check in yesterday, the post is really something you might want to read. Just grab your kleenex first.

Before we get to the meet n greet... There is a Memorial Service for Kayleigh next Sunday May 17th. Kayleigh's blog says that everyone is invited to come and share in the joy of her short life. I will be going if anyone would like to send something for me to take personally. I also have their address if you'd like to mail something.

Ok, now on to the Meet N Greet! This week we are meeting Design Team member, Tangii Crain!



When did you start stamping? I started about a year and a half ago, all I could do was copy stuff. I remember when I created my first card that was all my own design, I was so excited I showed everyone that woud look! It was for my very first Swap. A couple of months later one of the gals in the swap emailed me asking if she could CASE it for her Convention Swaps... I was almost in tears I was so thrilled, hehehe.

What first drew you to PMS? The rockin' Miss Katie!!! Katie asked a group I was in for their preferences in stamping (rubber, etc.), I emailed her back with my answer and then bugged her as to why she was asking. When she told me what she was up to I was so excited for her because I just adore her and I love to see the "little guy" thrive. I planned on supporting her in anyway I could, thinking I'd get a couple of stamps, etc. UNTIL I saw what she was up to... then I was hooked!! I was never really a "fairy" person, but these little one's are just too cute!! More like little kids than mystical fairies.

What's your favorite color combo? I don't know that I really have a favorite color combo, I think it depends on what I am making and what my mood is.

What else do you like to do? I love quilting, it's funny how much I've grown as a quilter because of stamping! I also love cooking & baking, gardening and playing with the kids.

Where do you get inspiration from? Once upon a time I would have said that I got my inspiration from whatever challenge on SCS I was working on. Lately I get inspiration from all kinds of places. In today's mail I got the new Pottery Barn Teen catalog, it's on my craft desk cause I love one of the comforter designs in it...thought it'd make a great card design!

What's on your ipod? I like lots of different music. Right now I have some Airborn Toxic Event, The Killers, Taylor Swift, I {heart} Smashmouth.

And now here are some of Tangii's wonderful creations...
