PMS Digital Makeover Challenge #6 - Anything But a Card!


Good Morning! Here to bring you another week of the Paper Makeup Stamps: Digital Makeover Challenge!


The rules are simple: Use a digi and stay within the challenge theme. There will be one random winner who will receive 3 single digis of their choice from PMS (or 5! if you use a PMS image in your winning entry).

This week we are doing ANYTHING but a card! That pretty much leaves it wide open, now doesn’t it? I got into the fall spirit with my Thanksgiving tag! I actually used a pretty cool technique here: I used a glue pen to go over the outline of the pumpkins and heat embossed them with some brown embossing powder and instead of coloring them I gave them a healthy dose of orange glitter!

PMS Digital Makeover Challenge #5 - Color Combo

Hello there queenies! Another week of the Paper Makeup Stamps: Digital Makeover Challenges is coming your way right now.

The rules are simple: Use a digi and stay within the challenge theme. There will be one random winner who will receive 3 single digis of their choice from PMS (or 5! if you use a PMS image in your winning entry).

Simple no? I think so. This week's challenge is a color combo. I actually found it to be very challenging but, then again, if I didn't want to challenge myself...why would I participate in CHALLENGES!? lol.

With no further ado:


It also wouldn't be a challenge day if I didn't give you my take, would it?:

Hello from the Beach!

Just wanted to give you a little bit of the GREEN! No, not money - ENVY.

Her we go:
These are pictures from a beach in Malibu called Las Matador Beach. It was a long walk down there, but an even LONGER walk back up! Take a look and tell me if you think it was worth it, lol !

So, what do you think? The water was COLD, but don't think that stopped me from sticking my feet in! I am here visiting my best friend, Becky and she is the one in these pictures with me. :)

Next time I'll try to post a few photos of my do it yourself SMASH book! I've been really pleased with it so far and I can't wait for you to see some of it. :)

Keep it real people and keep it royal!

Hello VACATION!

Hi there queenies. This morning I am flying to California for two weeks! I am excited to be going but this will make it a bit harder to post as regularly as I usually do.
On a scrappy note, I have created my own little SMASH-like book for the trip and I hope to post some pictures of that along the way!
Right now I am waiting out a delay in the Dallas airport.
See:




Later queenies!

PMS Digital Makeover Challenge #4–Size Matters

Good day! I am very excited to bring you another inspiration card for the PMS Digital Makeover Challenge!

The rules are simple: make a creation using a digital stamp and make sure it follows the week’s challenge! Up for grabs we have three single digis of your choice (or five if you use a PMS image!).

I love what this challenge guided me toward. I’ve never done this with a digi stamp. I actually cropped it and printed it on the RIGHT side of the paper so I could cut the cardstock and fold it into a card with the stamp on the card base. I’m very happy with the result:

My Mind’s Eye

I got two new 6x6 pads of My Mind’s Eye paper and I decided to give them a little love today with the sketch off the MME blog. Yeay!

Here we are, simple, but I like it:

I generally like to change up a sketch and give it my own spin, but before I knew it, this one was almost done and I had stuck to the sketch like Glue dots!
