I absolutely LOVE this purse! I filled it with Hershey's Kisses and the gift card we got her from the office. The incredibly talented Mel (Mel Stampz) is the brain behind this purse, you can see her samples and get the template here. I'll be back in a bit with the list of goodies I used. Have a great weekend, hope to see you again soon!

chris wooten said... That is so pretty. Anyone would love it.
This card is pulling "double duty" today. One of the things the PMS DT is doing this month to celebrate PMS's first birthday is we are "remakeing" our first PMS card.
And now for another chance to win... all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post before midnight on Thursday and I will choose another name with Random.org. Easy Peasy! Oh and hopefully you will play along with the PMS team on this week's challenge. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!
Stamps: Jaina (Paper Makeup Stamps) Paper: Pink Patterns (PTI), Berry Sorbet cs (PTI), Basic Gray cs (SU), Stampers Select White (PTI) Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Cobblestone (Vivid), Copics Accessories: Scalloped border punch (SU), Angel Wings Shimmerz, Labels Nesties, Oval Punches (SU)
To get the pattern on the Butterfly, I inked up my stamp and then pressed it against a Piercing grid I have before stamping my paper... I think it gave it just the right "pop". Then I cut him out and attached him just down the middle so I could fold up his wings. I don't think you can see it too well, but I went over the pom-pom type flowers with a Clear Spica glitter pen. Wowzers! It feels great to be stamping again! Thanks for popping in, don't forget to say "hi"! Ok, gotta go get inky some more ;) See ya soon!
Stamps: Discover Your Wings (Taylored Expressions) Paper: Taylors Aug 20th Key Ingredients pack Ink: Coffee Bean (Vivid), Satin Red (VersaFine) Accessories: Very Vanilla ribbon (SU), Chocolate Pearls (Kaisercraft), Clear glitter pen (Spica), small oval punch (SU)
Someone created a cute alterable "thing-y" where she was going to keep track of her "New Year's Resolutions", except she chose to call them goals, and instead a few BIG goals, she gave herself weekly, monthly, etc. goals. I LOVED this idea (and if I can find her item and post, I'll link it here). Anyway, as I have been working on "getting myself together" and getting my "goals" thought out and on paper I decided a couple of things. 1. My stamp room REALLY needs some better organization (especially now that I've branched out and have way more than just Stampin' Up! stuff). The other things I've realized are boring and irrelevant, lol. So my Room needs an "overhaul"! In order to get this done in a timely manner (I am very task driven and want things done NOW!), I'm going to have to plan my time well. My scrapbooking goal for this year is going to be on hold until this room is done, and since someone else took my Challenge idea and ran with it for themselves, this shouldn't be a big deal :). So, I spent Saturday cleaning out and organizing my stamps (you can see some of the sets I have for sale here), now mind you I've already done a TON of work in the "sorting area" so I had a good head start.
Here is the front of some of those binders, I also listed the contents on the front.
In the inside of each binder I have the images on a sheet of cardstock along with the name. For companies like Gina K, I use the inserts that come with the sets and Taylored Expressions prints their images on the binder sheet itself. All of my Paper Makeup Stamps images are in a big binder, if you didn't see that one before you can see it all decorated here. I have a rather hard time finding Stamp Room organization ideas that will work well for me, which is why I haven't gotten my room done sooner. While "blurfing" the other day I came across Patter Cross' blog, which not only has some awesome idea's but she got me thinking and really helped me figure out the rest! She does an "Organizational" post on Fridays. My next task, is to organize my ribbons, thanks to Becca Fekken, for her awesome idea. As soon as it's done I'll show you what I did (and her idea). Thanks for stopping by, I hope I didn't bore you to death... if I can get this "cold" under control a little I hope to have some eye candy tomorrow. Hope you have a wonderful day!
The PMS DT decided to have a 'bonding' type swap. We decided to do a Secret Santa, but with a Valentines theme, a Secret Admirer. Oh my goodness it was so much fun! Yesterday was the due day and today is the posting day. I have done swaps kinda like this with a group of SU Demo's, and some other groups I have been in, but when I got this package the other day... I kid you not when I tell you I was speechless!! This package was just amazing!
She made me 2 cards and there are 2 wrapped goodies.
The first wrapped goodie was this cute little tin of chocolates. Mmmmmm!!
This is the second wrapped prezzie. Cute, huh? Wait until you see what's inside...
Look at that yummy ribbon and those fun canvas tags!
Moretags in here, some embellies and a GREAT Stamp set!!
That little package wrapped in ribbon is a bunch of pretty papers, and look at that book mark!!
Christi Snow made this package for me and OMG! does she just totally rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Christi, not only did you make my day, but you've totally inspired me to work on some creative therapy!

Did you see these cute little "Bucket Handbags" on SCS? They happen to be last week's Technique Lovers Challenge and the template is from Mel, and being the doll that she is she is sharing it with the world for FREE! Well when I saw these I knew they'd be perfect for a little teacher Valentine gift. This weeks Bloggers Challenge is "Valentines" and this week's Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge was to make a goodie bag or basket. Make sure you hop on over to the PMS blog and link up your goodie to Mr. Linky... Katie is giving away a free goodie bag to one lucky participant every week during February.
I used the Hugs & Kisses Sentiment set and some VersaMark to ink up the red cardstock. To jazz up those scallops a bit I added some rhinestones, just a few :) I filled the basket with some M&M Mini's...every girl needs a little chocolate! Thanks for stopping by, see you soon! I'll be back a little later to announce the winner from last weeks PMS Challenge.
**ETA: Random.org picked the number 4 (which also happens to be my FAVORITE number!) for the winner of last week's "comment Candy"... Michelle, please email me so we can get you your FREE image!!
Michelle VP said... Oh how pretty! I just love that little gem necklace you gave her and how you off-set the nestie on the same size shape. Perfect ribbon & button to go with your paper too. :) If I win, I am so gonna pick this moody stamp now.
Stamps: Hugs & Kisses set & Sing, Love, Dance (both by Paper Makeup Stamps) Paper: Hearts Bloom kit (Paper Garden Project) Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), VersaMark Accessories: Misc ribbon, Kaisercraft rhinestones

How's this for a Teen Valentine idea? When my daughter was in middle and high school she always wanted to give a handful of her girlfriends gifts for the various holidays. There were always too many for us to afford going out and buying an individual gift for so we always came up with some kind of goodie to make. One year for Christmas we got a bunch of cute mugs and filled it with some hot cocoa powder, marshmallows, etc. then we went out in the wee hours of the night and delivered them to their doorsteps for them to find in the morning. We had such a great time! Victoria has always loved getting all girlied-out, make-up done, manicures, etc. and she loved Nail Polish (she still does). So I made this little carrier to hold 2 bottles of OPI Nail Polish.
Here's a sideview and you can see the Polish Bottles peeking out the side. I love these images from Mo Manning (available at Paper Garden Projects). Have you seen the GORGEOUS digi images that Cathy at PGP has come up with? They are too fun!! Ok, back to this little morsle... I grabbed my Hearts Bloom paper kit (which is ON SALE NOW!) from Paper Garden Projects and took it with me this weekend so I could finish up some Valentine projects. Now keep in mind that I was horribly sick when I left town and had been getting sicker each day! I tried hard to grab everything I may need without talking the whole studio... You would not believe the things I forgot, ADHESIVE!!! SCISSORS!! Can you imagine?!?!? It's a good thing that I had this image already stamped because I realized that I also forgot to bring white cardstock (which is only topped by the fact that when I got home I realized that I also forgot the stamps!!!) Clearly I should NOT be allowed to pack when sick! lol So my box is held together with glue stick and the image is adhered with scotch tape rolled up, lol. Hey man, whatever works! My father-in-law was trying to convince me to use honey, hehehe! Silly boys! Tomorrow I'll have another Teen-girlie Valentine idea... Hope to see you tomorrow!
Stamp: Psst! Danni & Taylor (Mo Manning available at Paper Garden Projects) all other supplies are from the Hearts Bloom Paper Kit (Paper garden Projects).
First, we have a winner!!!! From the comments on my "Happy Birthday PMS" post random.org chose comment #35 (I apologize I do not know how to show the result on here, lol) to win a free PMS stamp of their choice! Tracey, please email me so I can tell you how to get your free PMS stamp.
Tracey said...This set is incredible!! I love it!!

This week's Makeup 4 the Weekend Challenge hostess was Danni. Her orders... Pink and sparkly! So I dug out my favorite pink & gray paper, Juliette by SEI and this fun Moody for Love image from Paper Makeup Stamps. The sketch is, of course, from the rockin' Mercy Kerin, MTSC59. I added some rhinestones to her and made her Diamond necklace. I also colored some of the hearts with some pink and clear Spica Glitter pens.
Stamps: Moody for Love & Love is in the Air sentiment (Paper Makeup Stamps) Paper: Juliette (SEI), Crabapple Medium (Prism), Going Gray (SU) Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Copics Accessories: Ribbon (SEI), Button (PTI), Pink & Clear glitter pens (Spica), rhinestones
Cat Dubail has done it again! About this time last year, Cat designed my "created by" stamp (you can see it here). I am so in love with it, she did such an amazing job. Anyway, one year ago yesterday my friend Katie started her own stamp company, Paper Makeup Stamps. I am so proud of her and frequently impressed by her. So for PMS' first birthday, I wanted to get Katie a little birthday present... here's what Cat & I came up with...
No for some eye candy of the paper variety, lol! My Mom emailed me the other day in need of an emergency gift and she asked for a set of note cards for her friend. Here's what I came up with. This is the finished package (8 notecards & envelopes).
My mom also asked for a "reddish" theme. I didn't have any reddish pp that inspired me, so I got out my PTI stamps and found a flower that I thought would be fun. I punched out a small circle of pp for the flowers center. These are plain and simple, but I think she will like them. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave me a comment on yesterday's PMS Happy Birthday post for a chance to win a PMS stamp of your choice (you have until tomorrow, Thursday, night at midnight). Thanks for stopping in, hope to see you again soon.
