The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC68

It's been a 'beautiful' start to February here in The Cafe!

So many creative entries to our challenge this past week

and we know it's going to be another creative week for sure!

This week marks the beginning of a full schedule of

Guest Designers and Sponsors

and we couldn't be more thrilled about it!

So mark your calendars and don't miss a week!

Your color host this week is

Senior Designer, Julie Ranae

"I am a lover of shabby chic/vintage decor

and I love it in paper crafting as well.

I have a dear friend named Polly Hood who owns

a wonderful business in my city and blog called

'Counting Your Blessings'

She graciously offered to let me pick any

photos from her blog that my heart desired.

So...that brings us to this week's challenge..."

It is our great pleasure to welcome one of the most

respected names in paper crafting to The Cafe...

Kazan Clark

"I am an avid card maker, scrapbooker and blogger 

(some of you may have visited the site that I co-owned 

called 2 Sketches 4 You). Paper crafting is a fairly new hobby for me which I picked up shortly after my first daughter was born almost 7 years ago. I love finding treasures that I can alter or replicate using paper! It is my little addiction that keeps growing! Part of the fun of creating is having
your work recognized in publications and by my peers. This industry has been so rewarding and I am fortunate to have had my work in both U.S. and International publications, television and on the web. 

I have a lot of exciting things happening in my little crafty world in the coming months so please visit my blog 'NuNu Toolies' for updates or simply to stop by & say hi.
Thanks to The Play Date Cafe for hosting this awesome color challenge.
I hope you have as much fun creating with these beautiful colors as I did :) Hugs."
