PMS Hippity Hoppity!!

(Disclaimer: Be sure to start at the BEGINNING of the blog hop. There is a lot of information...and a freebie! Then, leave comments along the way as you collect letters for a valuable code!)

Yippee!! Another really fun release by Paper Makeup Stamps. Fill up the last month of summer with a few more stamps. I used the Friendly Flowers set for this card:





I first fell in love with PMS when I saw the fairies. But now...it's all about those great sentiments...which can be used with any image that you already have. So be sure to check on board and stock up!!


The letter I have to offer is:



Now off you go to Katie's blog! Remember to download your Friday Freebie from the PMS blog. Have fun at the release party tonight! The party starts at 9 pm CST!!

Kim...do not read this...

I am going to meet a fellow SCSer on Friday. When crafters meet, you just gotta have treats to present! Also, I've been tied up with doctor visits that there hasn't been time to stamp. I received the new set by Starving Artistamps with the trees. If you dig trees, you gotta get this set! It is going to be so fun to stamp with. Hey, use the code "savetenDM" for 10% off. Either that means you've saved money or you have stretched your rubber...but most of all, it means you have new stuff to play with.

I created this ensemble for Kim.


This is one of my covered notebooks...with a pocket on the inside. They are great gifts and the recipients love them. One day I need to make one for me!
Tah...a square card. Note the upside down Swiss Dots...a happy accident on the notebook that I carried over to the card. This set is going to be so multi-seasonal. Fall, Winter, Spring...you name it...gotta have a tree on it!
In case Kim is reading this...tsk,tsk...I left the item out of the pix...all she gets to see if the adorable birdie tag! Inside sentiment: "You put an extra SPRING into my step." How tweet is that!! Next week, I hope to give you all Tree-Envy with some great Starving Artistamps examples!!

Review

Despite some new found health problem which as yet to be diagnosed, I had an interesting birthday. As is our tradition, I received breakfast in bed...LUCKY CHARMS which Ken snuck out on Saturday to buy without me knowing it. Thanks, Ken. I opened a few gifts in the morning and then we took the van in to be repaired. After that C* went and found a great gift for me at Bath and Body Works. We came back home and he set up a treasure hunt. The last clue was "Me!" so I had to find him to find the grand prize. He is such a tender and sweet kid. Thanks, Reed!

A few of my friends got together in one home and had a little luncheon for me with take out salads and tasty bread from Cruse and Muir...yum! After that, I went to the doctor's office and spied a friend from church. Stephanie chatted with me and I thought she was was waiting for an appointment too. Turns out she was just sitting there after the appointment. Such a tender mercy which I appreciated...and hope I wasn't keeping her from some other place. I couldn't worry about the doctor's visit since I was chatting with her!

After the visit I was sent to the blood lab..then I had to swing by my friend's home to pick up the extra salad for our own dinner. Ken helped me by grilling up some chicken and so dinner was easy. Then we had to run off to the mechanics to pick up the newly fixed van...yeah! (And Ken found a good deal on the repair...price wise that is. Let's hope it is fixed.) I sort of felt tired so I rested while Adelle watched "The Absent Minded Professor." Mostly I think I snoozed.

In the midst of everything, I chatted with my sisters and my mom and my neighbor. Received bunches of cards from friends...some with gift cards...thanks friends!! I'll have fun picking treats and movies!

I asked Ken if my birthday could be tomorrow since today was sort of a dud. And he agreed. So maybe I'll make those cupcakes and we can go see Harry Potter. But only after I talk to the doctor's office. Keep your fingers crossed on that one.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Yep...Today's my birthday! And it's also the start of sneak peeks for Paper Makeup's August release. So with that...BRING ON THE FAIRIES!

If you like doggies, then this is the fairy for you! Click on over to the PMS Blog to see the fairy nice creations by the other designers.

Remember, today is also Paper Makeup's Monday challenge. This week, make your own background/patterened paper. I used my nesties to make hearts and then stenciled out my background. I used several different shades of red/pink to create shading.


Be sure to link your creation on the blog and use PMSMC22 for your keywords on other online galleries.

Clearly Fun Card

One of my most favorite types of cards to make is the Floating Card made out of acetate. So when asked what papers I wanted from Paper Temptress, I was sure to put down Crystal Clear Paper.


The only tricky part about this project is the photographing! But any recipient will be head over heels when they receive this “magical” card using Paper Makeup Christi Fairy. I think even in this photo, you can see the magic of a Floating Card! For details, click on over to the Paper Temptress Blog!
