Hey smackers...
Nice new website huh? I like that there is a typing error in the announcement message lol.
I'm trying to get some new stamps so I've been shopping around trying to find a new company and here's one I thought was pretty cute with a style almost halfway between WMS and PTI; just had to share the link and support an independent designer. Do you have any new places to shop with?
Disclaimer: I was not paid for the link and I don't know the designer. Just sharing!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 237 of 237I'm safe! (aka - those were some fugly projects this month!)
I'm looking for some light browns. Like old SU's Close to Cocoa and something-Caramel? Any suggestions?
Try Fresh Ink Cocoa for a nice lighter brown.
I do not like New Leaf and Pure Poppy together at all. They hurt my eyes.
I knew that I would be safe last month and this month because I have more than enough Halloween stamps and Christmas stamps to cover all of the cards that I don't send out anyways. :-p
The mistletoe stamp looks just like one that I have from Hero Arts from about 5 years ago.
I am not loving the cards so far. Even my favorite designer leaves me scratching my head this month.
Betsy's stuff is nice today. The rest are very blah.
Just because the colors picked are non-traditional Christmas colors does NOT mean they look good together. Bleach!
There will be a Boards and Beams die this month. Jessica posted this blog post but there are no pictures. Maybe she hit submit instead of schedule for? Anyways, I just noticed it because it came through google reader.

Die - Boards & Beams, Home for the Holidays
I might use Boards and Beams more if there was a die but I am not going to buy it since I am not currently shopping at PTI.
OMG! I don't think I've ever seen so many ugly cards in one place before! I am not kidding. I did not expect this from NH today. Eeewwwww.
Boring release, too. Maybe even she finds it boring and tried to jazz it up. Epic fail.
Some of my favorite stamps came from Lisa J and the collabs with Michelle W. Since they are gone, the only sets that I think I will like will come from Nichole herself.
Her color choices were unfortunate.

if you have a cuttle bug or big shot or any die cutting machine you can use this
Limeade ice will work well with Halloween colors too.
is the store and forum down for everyone?
I can't load the PTI website, or the forum. Is anyone else having the same issue? I am using Firefox.
I can load it ok
I am 11:31... the website comes up now but the forum page won't load. I'm using IE.
I don't like any of the cards this time around. Crazy color combos!
4:38 have you seen how many requests there have been for lime green? obviously not.
I also could not get on the website. After reading Twitter posts, others mentioned that GoDaddy hosted sites went down due to an anonymous source who hacked into the GoDaddy server. My guess is if PTI uses GODaddy for their domain, that is why it is not working. OR it could just be a total coinsidence that it stopped working during PTI's web update. That wouldn't be hard to believe.
I have two sites hosted by GoDaddy, and they're both inaccessible right now, so that makes sense.
Is anyone having problems accessing the store or forum. Message from IE..can't show website. Maybe they are working on it.
^^^ oops, sorry. I didn't read the previous posts.
Of course, Gina K wrote a very nice post about the problem with GoDaddy so no one had to wonder what was going on at her site.
Of course, PTI is trying to change their pathetic site right before a usual release. SOP.
That snowman globe is BUTT UGLY!
How lame that the new cover plate doesn't get it's own video? You'd think NH would put everything into it and make a new one, or else stick with a photo of a project.
Website and forum working for me. Maybe it's fixed now?
12:49, have you seen how many requests there were for a medium gray? Obviously not.
MFT's peak a boo die might be frivolous but I think it is super cool!! So guess where my dollars went this month.
Saw the MFT one and had to pass (budget) have the square PTI ones from before. They'll have to do.
I don't get it. You cut a strip and punch holes. I don't see how it is that innovative that you can't easily do it.
^^^yep. Was thinking the same thing.
Ah but with the die i can mass produce. And no measuring. I said it was frivolous!
I will actually use this much more than the octogan or harlequin template.
But to each their own
sorry trell, but if you think that smackers are any different than the pti forum folks, you are delusional. they are the SAME people. yes, the fawning PTI lovers on the board are here. we make nice on the forum and come here and shoot off at PTI. why? because we do. there is not reason. boredom, fun at stirring up trouble, entertainment. and believe me. there are a few folks here who would have nothing to do with you in their real lives. in your twisted logic, anonymous smackers are more decent than forum folks? HAHA
