Paper Makeup Stamps November Blog Hop

Happy Saturday everyone!! If you hopped here from Lisa's blog you're in the right place!! If not and you'd like to be wowed with some amazing PMS eye candy then head over to the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog and start there!

Today I am showing a card I made with sweet little Henry. He is very very special!! Not only is he a new release in the ever popular Fairy series, but a portion of all sales from this little guy will be given to fellow blogger/stamper Sarah Anderson and her family in remembrance or their 3 yr old son Henry who sadly and unexpectedly passed away this week.



I used lots of sparkly stuff on this card. This was fun to color - I think he looks a little like a Gingerbread Boy :0)

Well if you've visited a PMS Hop before then you know a secret message is built in among all the posts. Did you get your first letter? Remember to collect them all for your secret code to get 15% off the new releases. And as an added bonus we're combining it with this weeks Countdown to Christmas sale to receive 15% off your entire order!! Did I hear a Woo Hoo!!

So do you want to know what the next letter is??

Well write down the letter ..... H ......

Next on the Hop is Tangi, I'm sure she has some fabulous eye candy for you!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Henry in Digi

Many of you hopping around Blog Land may have heard of the sad, sad news of how fellow stamper/blogger Sarah Anderson lost her 3 year old son on Monday. It was a sudden illness that only started last Friday. They still are unsure of what happened. It is totally tragic and heart wrenching and just really tears at me thinking of the pain, the confusion and the loss the family is going through right now. It is a mom's greatest fear. She could use all the support and prayers out there right now!



Katie (PMS owner) felt the need to do something to help out - in some small way to keep Henry's memory alive. So I Introduce you to Henry the snow angel fairy. $2.50 of the proceeds from each Henry sold will be sent to the Anderson family for them to use whatever way is best to keep Henry's memory alive for their family.

The digital version of Henry is available now at Paper Makeup Stamps . Henry in rubber stamp form will be available at 8:00 p.m. CST tomorrow night at the November Release Party. You can join in on the fun at the FORUM.

Check back tomorrow for a PMS blog hop with the opportunity to save, save, save. And check out what I came up with using Henry!

Go Green Monster

Here's another sneak at some of the new images being released on Saturday over at Paper Makeup Stamps. This is George. Isn't he fun?! I made a little gift tag for this reuseable water bottle - I thought it would be cute - I mean cool, for a bunch of scouts.


The recycle sign is also a separate stamp being released. On the flip side of this little tag I stamped the initial of the person I was giving it to.

You can see all of the other monsters and related images being released at the Paper Makeup Stamps blog - there are some cute ones for sure! And don't forget, leave a comment for the chance to win the entire release!

Have a happy GREEN day!

Everday Thanks

Hey there everyone - can you believe it, I'm posting 2 days in a row!! It's release week over at Paper Makeup Stamps which means lots of sneak peaks at new stamps AND the opportunity to WIN them. Yep, you could win the ENTIRE release just by leaving a comment each day over on the Paper Makeup Stamps blog!!


Today the sneak peaks are of a set of thank you sentiments called "Everyday Thanks". I'm showing a quote by William Shaespeare - classical, somewhat formal, but very sincere. I paired it with the thank you embossing folder by Cuttlebug. I went with one of my favorite color combos right now -brown and teal blue. Love it! It also has a very classy, formal look to it.

Head over to the blog and leave a comment. You can also view the Moody Girl peeks from yesterday, leave a comment and double your chances!! Tomorrow, I'll have yet another peek.

Recipe:
Stamps: Paper Makeup Stamps

Winter Wonderful

Happy November!! With the turn of the clocks this weekend the last little remnants of summer faded with the sunlight. I miss summer already, but look forward to the next few months because it is all about friends, family and togetherness. It truly is a wonderful time.



I created this card using a free digi download from Verve. It was one of their image sets that didn't get turned into rubber. I thought both the mittens and the sentiment were beautiful.

I don't think there is a lot to this card that needs explaining. I did use Flock on the mitten cuffs. I haven't used that in FOREVER!! I used my favorite ribbon from SU! Gotta love Not Quite Navy!!

Short post today, but stop by tomorrow and the rest of the week. It will be busy around here as it gets closer to the November release for Paper Makeup Stamps on the 7th!!

Have a WONDERFUL day!

Sketch Girl 8 and Word Art Wednesday

Hey there! Happy All Hallows Eve! It's a little bittersweet for me this year for several reasons;

1. My older two are thinking it's not so much fun if Mom tags along for trick or treating. They think they can cover more ground if they leave mom and little brother in the dust!
2. I think I've finally hit the point where I know longer have any say in what their costumes will be :0(

We had a near nuclear melt down last night because my 5 yr old didn't want to wear the adorable spider hat and web costume I was going to make for him. He was - stomp your foot on the ground- for sure going to be the store bought, mass produced Star Wars Storm Trooper that he was last year. After many attempts at coersion, bribery and near tears (on my part), I gave in. I decided there are bigger battles to win and that my days of coming up with cute, coordinating, creative costumes are over. Snif Snif . . . O.K., enough wallowing in self pity . . . onto the card! . . .

It's the 30th which means another Sketch Girl Challenge is up on the blog, you can click the link on the sidebar to take a look. I twisted the sketch on it's side so that I could use the main panel with this weeks FREE word art download from Paper Makeup Stamps. I thought this would be a cute card for my 5 yr olds teacher. I used PP from DCWV First Grader paper pack, coordinates well with the quote don't ya think?

I couldn't think of anything else to do with that extra little panel to the side of the word art, so I just added a nice big pretty bow with a cute little rubber button in primary colors. I also added a little bling in each corner to focus on the word art. I wish more of the feet and alphabet would have been visible, but the card is already 5 1/2 inches and I didn't want to go any larger.

Well, hope you all have a frightfully fun weekend with lots of treats, sweets, and cooperative little goblins :0) Have Fun!
