This upcoming release is HUGE and full of fun and new wonderful things!

We will be welcoming 2 "new" designers! Why do i put "new" in quotes.... well you will just have to wait and see! But you will LOVE them, i promise!

We would love for you to play along this week! You do not have to have PMS to play along! If you have it, we'd love to see it, but if you don't we dont want that to keep you from participating! When you've created your masterpiece, link it up here in the Mr. Linky box (yeah, he's working again!!!!!) and then come back here next Sunday to see the Showoff! A few cards will be showcased and this week 1 lucky winner will receive a free shipping voucher (chosen by random.org) So we really hope you'll decide to play along! You have until Saturday night at Midnight to upload your cards to be entered into the showoff.

If uploading your card to SCS or PCP, plus use the tag PMSMC20 as well as Paper Makeup Stamps so we can see your pretty cards all in one gallery!

Tuesday Meet n Greet with Dawn Knight!

Hiya everyone! Well, after getting home from the dr this morning i though... OOOO i need to make a blog post! And then i realized it was tuesday and said I WILL NOT FORGET THE MEET N GREET! hehe. Today design team member for you to meet is an absolute riot! I've had the pleasure of actually getting to meet her in person! She's so funny, so full of life! So without much further ado....

I would like you to more formerly meet.... DAWN KNIGHT!

First, here are the 6 questions we always ask!

When did you start stamping?

about 4 years ago and I was bit HARD by the stampin bug!

What first drew you to PMS?

the gorgeous fairy and the amazingly cute monsters

What's your favorite stamping color combo?

my fave color combo is anything with BROWN!!! I really love any shade, light dark whatever and any color just seems to go with it so well!

What else do you like to do?

I LOVE to knit, quilt scrapbook and paint

Where do you get inspiration from?

i get inspiration from everywhere... colors in houses that are painted in a great combo, flower colors... and sometimes i just get inspired by something that will pop into my head!

What's on your Ipod?

my I pod has everything from Frank sinatra to rob zombie to dean martin to heavy metal... it is kinda mixed up in there... sorta like my brain!!!

See, i told ya she's a riot.  :)  Now on to some fabby Dawn Knight Creations!

PMS Monday: Who's Got The Button?

Happy Monday!! It's Christi welcoming you to another Paper Makeup Monday Challenge!! This week the wonderful Dawn Knight is this week's design team challenger and her challenge is to use buttons!! I am on a button kick right now so this challenge was perfect for me...Yes, this is me and my husband on our one year anniversary. I can't believe how *ahem* healthy we looked! LOL :) I thought I would keep it simple and only use one button on my creation but not everyone went this route. Check out these button-crazed creations from the design team...

Use as many or as few as you want but there must be a button on your creation somewhere. Easy peasy right? I hope everyone can play along with us this week! You never know when we might give away some candy to one of our participants so play along! If you do not have PMS stamps don't worry about it-just use what you have!! If you do have PMS why not show it off!!

Please link up a direct link to your creation to Mr. Linky below (if Mr. Linky happens to not be there for one reason or another just post a link in the comments section). If you upload to SCS/PCP please use keyword PMSMC19 so we can see all of your creations there as well!!

Happy Stamping!!
