New Super Cute Gnome Digi Stamps!

An entire family is joining PCS this week. Please welcome the cute and sweet Gnomes! I had so much fun designing these adorable characters. It was fun to imagine them in their little world: gardening in front of the gnome house and playing with the forest animals. I have a ton of ideas for more designs and I can't wait to sit down with my sketch pad! These digis are in the PCS store and there is a great deal on a Value Pack if you want to buy the whole set.

If you make a purchase in the digi store today you will receive the "Gnome House" digi stamp for free!

This week we are welcoming two guest designers:

Allison Fillo & Maylee Pham.
Thanks so much for your help with this release ladies! I'm so excited to share your cards on my blog and website.

I'll be looking for guest designers for my upcoming releases. I'll post more about it on my blog next week.

I just love the cards that my DT created this week!

New Rapunzel & Prince Digis and 10 Free Sentiments!

I had a blast drawing Lily as Rapunzel with all of that hair! It's so much fun to colour too. And I just had to draw Billy as the Prince. They make such a cute couple, don't you think?

If you make a purchase in the digi store today you will receive the "Bird Holding Flower" digi stamp for free! If you look close you can see that the bird is from the top of the tower. He brings Rapunzel fresh flowers everyday for her hair. Such a sweet little bird :)

Valentine bookmarks and a little contest.

Nikki Tanner created these adorable mini bookmarks for the girls in her son's reading class.
Nikki used the pre-made page markers available at Staples for the base of the bookmarks.

And here are the bookmarks for the boys.

Nikki used an "old-school" label maker on the backs of the bookmarks which gives the words "To" and "From" a robotic feel.

Great job on your project Nikki and thanks so much for sharing your creations! Visit Nikki on her blog to see more of her fabulous creations.

Our next new digi release will be next Thursday the 17th. Here is a little peek at one of the new digis. Any guesses as to what the design is?? Leave a comment with your guess and I'll randomly choose one winner from everyone who guesses and that person will get 2 free digi stamps. I'll announce the winner on Thursday. You don't have to have the right answer to win.

Have a great day!

Melissa
