Congratulations to all of you who took the ultimate
challenge last week. If you missed it, scroll down to
see what you missed. We had one of the most colorful
project galleries and it was a pleasure to see how you all
made those colors work for you.
Senior Designer Julie Ranae, is your color host this week...
"I chose the colors this week with our guest designer in mind.
Her blog is always full of bold, bright, deep, rich colors and I
couldn't wait to see what she would bring to The Cafe as inspiration"
Please welcome Sankari Wegman!

"Hi Everyone, I am so excited
to be a guest designer today at the Play Date Cafe!!! YAY!!
My husband and I live out in the cornfields of Iowa with our
two little ones and work as an Ayurvedic health consultant
and just decided to go back to school this fall
to finish my PhD in physiology :)
I love spending time with my family and also love when everyone
has gone to bed and I get to sneak away to my craft corner
(which is literally just one corner) I wish I had 4 corners!
I started blogging about 2 years ago and what started as a small hobby (that fit into one drawer! has completely become a full fledged addiction :))
I feel so lucky to be designing for some wonderful companies and groups and am currently a design team member for Paper Craft Planet, Taylored Expressions, Verve Stamps, JustRite stamps and a DT member of the Gina K Card Club kit. Blogging has been a wonderful way for me to create special presents and cards for my family and friends and as creative therapy to unwind from the hectic schedule of the day, but more than anything it has also allowed me to make new best friends all over the world who also share this love of all things paper crafting! A huge thank you to Julie and her amazing Design Team for having me here today to play along with this amazingly delicious color combination!!!
Big hugs and high fives to everyone,
Sankari"
We are also very excited to welcome
Andrea Ewen
as our newest Private Blend Designer.
We know you are going to love her style as much
as we do!
"My name is Andrea Ewen and I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Guy. We have 2 beautiful children together, Troy is 12, Analise is 10 and they are the absolute lights of my life. I work full time as a pharmacist at the Jersey Shore
in a quaint little "Mom n' Pop" pharmacy.
When I'm not working or running to and from sporting/school events I'm in my craft room working up a storm. I was introduced to Stampin' Up! in 2002 when a friend invited me to a party. Since that time, I've been hooked but just recently began to post my creations online on my blog "EwenStyle", which I started in March of this year. I'm looking forward to being a part of this wonderful Design Team here at The Play Date Cafe and grateful to these extremely talented artists for letting me join them on this fantastic ride!"
