PMS Sponsors 2 Sketches 4 You !

I'm so excited! Not only because I actually made a card and posted it, but because I made it for this weeks 2 Sketches 4 You Challenge !! And I'm even more excited that Paper Makeup Stamps is the sponsor :0)

I love working with Kazan and Laura's sketches. They always inspire me. I used some fairly new images from PMS for this card. The flowing haired girl is a single image. Just love the light airy feel she has. The sentiment and the lip image are from a set called Kiss & Makeup. So fun and perfect for the teenage girl or valentines day. I used some glittery swirls to add to the light airy feel and of course to add some sparkle :0)

I can't wait to see what other PMS creations the 2S4Y DT comes with! You too can play along with this week's sketch for the chance to win a $25 prize package from PMS!!

It's just about time for PMS release week with lots of fun new images so stay tuned!

Hope your day is light and airy!

Color It - Summer Review

You can't really improve on perfection, just modify it. That's the way I feel when I see a card that absolutely blows me away. The second I see it I give a deep heavy sigh and say to my self "I love EVERYTHING about it, I gotta try that"!! So here's my try at one such card . . .

The new Paper Makeup Stamps "Color It" stamp set worked perfectly with this card! I love the whimsical flowers, leaves, the trio of flutterers, and the sentiment. What a beautiful garden you could create! You can view all 10 stamps in the set here. And if you did the blog hop and figured out the mystery code, this set could be yours at 15% off - but you have to act fast (like right now)!

So do you want to see the original card that made me instantly swoon and sway and want to CASE every little detail? O.K. checkout this beauty by Leigh O'brien. See I told you!

Now make sure to head over to the PMS blog to see the other Color It review cards by the awesome DT. I'm sure you'll find something to inspire you :0)

Have a colorful day!

August Sneak Peak - Home Matters

It's that time of the month again - yep I've got PMS!! The new August release sneak peak that is :0)

Today is a happy day for me because I get to sneak one of my favorite digi sets that has been turned into rubber - yay!! Home Matters is such a fun and sweet set . . . the dog house, the birdhouse, the sentiments . . . and I love them all.

I used the "road" sentiment with the PMS oldie but goodie "Cottage". This cute cottage pairs perfectly with the Home Matters sentiments and is so much fun to color and layer. You can see in this card I layered the front door and two windows.

Make sure to head on over to the PMS blog today to see all of the Home Matters sneaks from the other Design Team members and read all the details on the upcoming release and how you can win it all!!

Toodles :0)

Lisa's Baby Blog Hop

Just when you think you know Love, something little comes along to remind you just how BIG it really is.

Paper Makeup Stamps very own Lisa M. is about to become mommy to another precious little boy. We're all soo excited for her and her growing family that we wanted to do something special. It's a surprise, so maybe the excitement will help stir things up and speed this process along :0)

Congratulations Lisa and family!!!

I created this card for Lisa before I even knew a Blog Hop was planned (I was actually ahead of the game and created it for the baby card MFTW) That is soo unlike me!! Then, when the hop idea was passed around, I didn't really want to post a different card when I knew I would be sending her this one. So, here it is again for anyone who hasn't seen it yet :0)

You can read the details here. Your next stop for some frogs and snails and puppy dog tails fun is Michelle.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dandy Wishes

Here is a quick card I made to showcase one of the new sets that was released last Wednesday for Paper Makeup Stamps. Dandy Wishes could soon become one of my favorites. So many possibilities - elegant, fun, cute, etc.

When I said quick card I meant it. Literally - 5 minutes from start to finish. I kept it real simple and although it was hard, didn't add any sponging, stitching or even faux stitching!! I popped up the center panel, colored in the hearts with a water color pencil and added one 1/2 pearl in the center of the sentiment. For a little shimmer I did spritz the glimmer mist into the air and then waved the card through it :0).

Don't forget to use your collected hop code for 15% off the new release. And FYI it can be used on PMS's release special to get a whole sheet of rubber (4 glamorous sets in all) for only $30!!
