• Congrats to our Ella Publishing winners for last week, Brennan and Cara!  Both of these members won gift certificates for an Ella shopping spree.  All our Planet members can try Ella — use PCPLANET11 for 10% off a single purchase. Expires May 15, 2011.
• This month is mini-book month on the Planet.  Come play along!
• Lori Tecler whips up our Sketch Challenge for this week.  Play along and whip up those Mother’s Day Cards!
• Lyn Bernatovich totally wowed me this week with this easel project.  Click here for directions.
• Rob told me I had to get a job.  I said the Planet is my job.  I’m proving it this week — I made this 8 collage template kit just in time for graduation.  These templates work with Photoshop Elements and Photoshop CS and are sized to print on the Costco 6 x 7.5 card.  These templates are great for blog postings, scrapbook pages, invitations and announcements.  Samples and directions are included.  Click here for more information.  Sales of these templates support the Planet, feed my kids and pay for my glass of wine

• From Wendy Price:  You have to check this out… OrigAudio, a site for creating your own portable speaker.  Love that you can customize your own speaker, but even cooler is that former Super Nova Melanie‘s print is available for sale!!!
• From Susanna Boyd: Evernote.com.  Love this free web and phone app for note keeping.  I track inspiration, gift ideas and random stuff like what kind of printer ink I use.  Works on most computers and on most smart phones.
• From Lynn Mercurio: We’ve mentioned this one before, but it’s so fun that it deserves a second posting:  Pinterest.com. A visual inspiration feast.
