The answer is . . "Yes. I did!" Yes, I did indeed cut out every one of those little hearts and pop them up!! I was inspired by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30551735@N05/5416333504/in/photostream">this card </a>by Lucy Abrams. I think the extra effort was worth it - it definitely will be "one of a kind"!<br /><br /><br /><div>I used one of the dandelions from the Dandy Wishes set to pair with the new wordart being released this month - just in time for Valentines Day!</div><br /><br /><div>Remember this is an ALL DIGI release.

This was really a fun release and perfect for the winter and gift giving season. I used the new Handmade set to make these fun tags. How perfect would these be to add to your handmade holiday gifts?! I love the solid images and all of the different sentiments. So easy to put something quick and easy together - like these tags!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjf4QTarUiY/TryuAPq4LKI/AAAAAAAABRo/Vz2yEQhjFn0/s1600/Handmade%2Btags.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673600949809589410" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjf4QTarUiY/TryuAPq4LKI/AAAAAAAABRo/Vz2yEQhjFn0/s400/Handmade%2Btags.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div>Next I got to play with this chubby little penguin.

Hard to believe the summer is coming to a close. School starts next week and soon we'll be back to our daily routine (I think I'm secretly looking forward to it :)<br /></div><br /><div>It's a non-release month at <strong><span style="color:#006600;"><a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/">Paper Makeup Stamps</a></span></strong> but that doesn't mean we don't have some fun stuff to show you!! Actually it's one of my more favorite hops because we get to play with some oldie but goodies - and in my case some images that I LOVE but haven't played with before. If your coming from <span style="color:#339999;"><strong><a href="http://www.mybearybest.blogspot.com/">Michelle's blog</a></strong></span> then your in the right place! If not, then start back at PMS for all of the hop details.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>This card uses images from the <strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/search.php?search_query=home+matters&submit_search=Search">Home Matters</a></span></strong> set. The car is only available with the <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=454"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Digi Set</span></strong> </a>version and I have been dying to play with it for a LONG time. So cute and so simple. I printed out tons of little cars so you may be seeing more of him in the future (wink)! The green part of the car is actually printed on colored PP and paper pieced. The tires, bumper and windshield were colored in with Copics, and I used half pearls for the headlights - what a cute and fun dimension they add! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Thanks for taking my little trip down PMS road!! There are still some more awesome creations to stop at so get going on your way to one of our newest design team members whose inside of her cards are just as beautiful as the out!! <span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong><a href="http://twocutelittlemonsters.blogspot.com/">Shana Dahl</a></strong></span></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;">Enjoy the rest of your summer!!</span></div><br /><div></div>Randee Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04363647758885243900noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350480874495994285.post-59487960135468197842011-07-17T21:04:00.004-05:002011-07-17T21:21:28.949-05:00Christmas in July<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A3A34YGHtZg/TiOVdDbQe6I/AAAAAAAABOQ/8qVkQtbPdxs/s1600/wise%2Bmen2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 381px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630508285511629730" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A3A34YGHtZg/TiOVdDbQe6I/AAAAAAAABOQ/8qVkQtbPdxs/s400/wise%2Bmen2.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/">Paper Makeup Stamps</a> is sponsoring this weeks challenge at the <a href="http://www.christmascardchallenges.blogspot.com/">Christmas Card Challenge Blog</a>.<br /><br />I created this card using one of the frames released this month in the Framed set. The wordart is also a Paper Makeup Stamps image. The snowflake is actually a plastic ornament I picked up at the Big "W" after Christmas and the sheet music paper is from an old OLD sheet music book I picked up at an antique store for very little. The paper was already frayed and had a nice aged color. Not much antiquing required!!<br /><br />I'm linking this card up to te challenge and you should play along too. A $15 gift certificate tot he PMS store is up for grabs.

The weather was a little warm but that's to be expected for July :) !!<br /><br />Today I get to show you another peek-a-boo at a new release image that will be available on July 7th. This is Madelyn in silhouette form!!<br /><br />I combined her image with some of the flower stems from the Friendly Flowers set. I left it blank to leave options open. I'm thinking sympathy, birth, christening or encouragment. I think I might go back and add some grass or ground along the bottom, she kind of looks like she is floating! Oh well . . .<br /><br />Check out what other PMS fairies are going to be released this month by hopping over to the <a href="http://www.papermakeupstamps.blogspot.com/">PMS blog</a>. You can check out all of the sneaks going on today. And don't forget to stop by on Thursday for the release day hop and party.

I was a little "shy to try" at first - can you believe it!<br /><br />The challenge is to create your own handmade flower and use it on your creation - fun! I tried to keep it really simple and came up with this;<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AtHrrOA2jI4/TdSUkK85USI/AAAAAAAABMc/PClD1f6CFfU/s1600/Fab%2Bn%2BFunky.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 330px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608270785119080738" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AtHrrOA2jI4/TdSUkK85USI/AAAAAAAABMc/PClD1f6CFfU/s400/Fab%2Bn%2BFunky.jpg" /></a><br />These flowers were made by punching out a large circle and then spiral cutting it towards the center. I then crumpled it all up and tried to fray the edges to distress it a little. Finally, using a few glue dots, secured the flower to my card.<br /><br />The sentiment is from <a href="http://www.papermakeupstamps.com/">Paper Makeup Stamps </a>and fits perfectly with my pretty little flowers.

I stamped PMS images and sentiment on some sheet music patterned paper, distressed it with Ranger ink and then pasted it onto the birdhouse. I removed the little wooden peg perch and added a small black iron drawer knob for a little flair, and a coordinating metal embellishment at the top for a little pizzaz. Finally, I screwed in a little hanger at the top and adde some pretty ribbon and twine for hanging :0) <br /><br />If you've been hopping then you know that PMS is having a huge sale right now, so be sure to hop hop hop and shop shop shop!! One lucky commenter on the blog will win the entire May release!! And ooh is it a good one!!<br /><br />Happy hoping on your way to <a href="http://sgtstamper.com/blog/">Jami's blog</a> <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7yog5ocZESs/TZ3MRLmBaAI/AAAAAAAABLk/mmSTZKuW_Yk/s1600/birdhouse%2Bfront.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 346px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7yog5ocZESs/TZ3MRLmBaAI/AAAAAAAABLk/mmSTZKuW_Yk/s400/birdhouse%2Bfront.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592850907806132226" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-siqi4GBB7hk/TZ3MQq6tlXI/AAAAAAAABLc/RwJPpnCATAQ/s1600/birdhouse%2Bside.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 356px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-siqi4GBB7hk/TZ3MQq6tlXI/AAAAAAAABLc/RwJPpnCATAQ/s400/birdhouse%2Bside.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592850899034543474" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S1dwR34o0u4/TZ3MQORdvQI/AAAAAAAABLU/69RHhkfF7ko/s1600/birdhouse%2Bback.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 372px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S1dwR34o0u4/TZ3MQORdvQI/AAAAAAAABLU/69RHhkfF7ko/s400/birdhouse%2Bback.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592850891345345794" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.blenza.com/linkies/autolink.php?owner=papermakeup&postid=04Apr2011"></script>Randee Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04363647758885243900noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350480874495994285.post-33906663403542888312011-03-17T12:16:00.003-05:002011-03-17T12:30:06.311-05:00Proud MomI just wanted to share some bags I made for three boys from our middle school that made it to the State Wrestling Championships - one of them being my son!!<br /><br />It was a little bit of a trip so I made them all a goody bag of healthful treats to take with them on their journey.<br /><br />I stamped inspirational quotes from <a href="http://www.papermakeup.com/">Paper Makeup Stamps</a> on each side of the a bag and made a tag with their name on one side and another inspirational quote on the other.<br /><br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rW_1xdHIQ1k/TYJCUOBX_LI/AAAAAAAABLM/MK1KiG1AHPE/s1600/tag+close.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585099403021515954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rW_1xdHIQ1k/TYJCUOBX_LI/AAAAAAAABLM/MK1KiG1AHPE/s400/tag%2Bclose.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B1PJTfx8cyg/TYJCT80moEI/AAAAAAAABLE/l5Rf-K1huV4/s1600/back+bags.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585099398404546626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B1PJTfx8cyg/TYJCT80moEI/AAAAAAAABLE/l5Rf-K1huV4/s400/back%2Bbags.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lqSeDtee7YA/TYJCTJ9cNKI/AAAAAAAABK8/GdM2i-yOLBE/s1600/front+bags.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585099384751404194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lqSeDtee7YA/TYJCTJ9cNKI/AAAAAAAABK8/GdM2i-yOLBE/s400/front%2Bbags.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I am so very proud of my son for going as far as he did.
