A Blog Feast

Today's Paper Makeup blog hop will be a feast for the body!  (Did you start off from the company blog??)   Just check out this delightful new images that are being released today by Paper Makeup.

Yep...a food set called "GuiltyPleasures!"  Life is busy with work, chores, stamping, family, stamping...haha...  But PMS has some sound advice:

EAT dessert first!

Remember to gather all the letters along the way as you comment on the Paper Artists' blogs.  They will spell out a special code for a fun PMS discount!  You will also be entered to win the entire release!  Ooooh lala! Here is an appetizer to start you off:

I hope to see you in the PMS forum tonight for the release party tonight at 8pm CST!  I'll clear the plates as you saunter off to Lisa M's blog for the next serving!

Blog candy winner!

I just asked my beautiful assistant and DD, to pick a number between 1 and 15...she chose six.

The winner is

CARISA!!

Please send me your name and address to dawnmercedes at hotmail dot com!  Then the beautiful day fairy "Emma" will flutter on over to your mail box!!

(Although, when she saw that Granny was 14, she wanted to change her number.  What a sweet girl!  But we stayed true to the first one chosen!  DD has this stamp and will just have to make a card or two for her granny!)

Rubberized!

That's right!  The previously released Moody for Rock (digi) is being released in RUBBER this month.  Rock on, Moody Fans!!

If you want to see more sneak peeks, be sure to check out the Paper Makeup Blog.  The April release blog hop is tomorrow!  Hope you'll join us for fun and games in the PMS forum tomorrow night as well!

For a Friend...

I made a set of eight note cards for a friend of mine using Creatures from the Starving Artistamp line of Doodlefactory stamps.  There are 2 of each card.  I bought the blank notecards from the Mike's dollar section.  (They were also discounted at the time!) 

From Creatures II, this one is disgustingly humorous!

Mimo is from the first set.  So sad that you have to smile when you see him in your mail box!

Another original creature.  Below is what the inside reads:

One of my favorite newbies...Goonter is that selfish being in all of us!

Inside view:

So, if you want a fun gift to make for a friend, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for blank notecards that you could easily embellish with your favorite images and sayings!

This is the song that someone blurts out at any given moment...and then we all join in.  THEN...ti's stuck in your head for hours!

Favorite Fairy Stamp?

What? I have to pick one?  Well, that is pretty near impossible.  On the day that I went to stamp this week's Paper Makeup Challenge, my favorite for the days...Fairy Friends! (And yes, that was BEFORE Tina came up with the awesome idea for a mini blog hop to celebrate our 1 year anniversary on the PMS Design Team.  Be sure to post why you enjoy Paper Makeup Stamps HERE...and you will be entered into the drawing to win a fairy!!)

The reason that this is one of my favorite fairy stamps is b/c the two girls remind me of my sister and I when we were little.  (Hmmm, maybe I should mail it to my sis!)  Plus, it was designed to present the friendships here at Paper Makeup!

The Creatures are BACK!!

(For the PMS Appreciation Blog Hop, scroll down to the next post.   But why not just browse the new stuff before you get there too?)

Whether you have waited for months, or just found out about the new set today, you are bound to fall in love with these new Doodle Factory Creatures II  from Starving Artistamps!  I simply can not pick a favorite.  I really love this one:

See, the  menacing dark shadow....temper tanrums do that you know!

Here I used Paper Temptress' sparkling papers.

When I saw this guy, I was reminded of the Abonimal Snowman!!  He's super great with an igloo!

Of course, we are ALL special! haha. 

I'm getting ready to enjoy the summer festivities!  So are the doodles!

Groovy Paper Temptress Papers...Can YOU dig it??

Here's a sad character...but a cute card! The inside will be so fun to write a note on too!

And...here's my sneaky peeky revealed!

Most of us have two sides...so why not make the inside of your card a little heavenly?

Happy Anniversary! (and some blog candy)

...to me and the other Paper Makeup Designers who have been lucky to be on the team for the last twelve months!  It has been so neat to see Katie develop this company and its stamping lines.  With so many internet start up companies in the crafting arena, I am sure that it must take a lot of time, energy, focus and spirit to keep afloat!  While this company started with fairies, monsters, and word art, you can now find more of those...as well as, Moodys (to die for) and darling new theme sets (be sure to start watching for April's sneak peeks starting on othe 4th!)  Also, Katie is generous as she has had several charity digi stamps for those who may need a little boost up. 

When Tina asked us if we'd like to put together a little blog hop in honor of our year together, I wanted to make something that showed why I loved Paper Makeup Stamps.  Well, I'm a list maker. In this booklet is a list of some of the many reasons why I enjoy using and promoting Katie's stamps.

I chose the Fairy Friends to represent the friendships we have developed over the last 12 months.

April Showers Bring May Flowers...

I'm sure we can list many more reasons why Paper Makeup Stamps is a great company with great images. Leave a comment here about why you love Paper Makeup and your name will be entered into a drawing for a free spring fairy!!  Along with Emma (see below), I'll throw in the sentiment "Sunshine is over rated."   Just think of all the challenges you can join in on for the next few months with these new stamps!!  (I'll draw a name on 4/5/10.)  Now, flutter off to Lisa K's blog to see what's next on our mini blog hop!  (The start of this mini hop is the PMS Blog. )  THANK YOU, Katie!! It's been a great year!
