The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC41

The Play Date Cafe welcomes you to

the next stop on our tour around the world...

Positano, Italy.

Julie Ranae is your host this week and here

are her thoughts on this destination...

"I first became aware of this magnificent city while

watching one of my favorite movies

'Under the Tuscan Sun'.

I watch this movie quite often while I am

creating because I think the scenery is so inspiring.

I definitely have this place on my 'dream' list of

places to travel.  I hope you enjoy the

color palette taken from this fabulous hillside."

This week, we have a very, very special

guest designer in The Cafe.  If you have played

our challenge for any length of time, you will recognize

this person as one of your 'fellow players' and we

mean that literally.  He has been a friend to our

challenge from the beginning and most recently was

the designer behind the badges that you all get to

display on your blogs.

Please welcome this week's 
Guest Designer

Paul Browning.

"I live in the Northwest of the UK,

with my Civil Partner Nick and one overly

pampered Tabby Cat, Basil.  I studied graphic

design when I left school and began a small

sign making business.  In my spare time, I drifted

into art after reading Julia Cameron's 

'The Artist's Way'.  When I caught Anna Griffin

on QVC and saw how she used design principles

in crafts, I was hooked!

At a local event, I was introduced to the

'inky world' of altered art and my crafting took

a whole new turn.  Recently though, after taking a

Cathy Zielske workshop, I rediscovered my passion

for design.  I'd suddenly felt as if I'd been given permission

to work with 'clean and graphic' techniques.

You are most welcome to pop by and see my

renewed style of crafting on my little ol' blog,

The Artsiders
