The Play Date Cafe PDCC132



It's 'Splash' Week here in The Cafe.

Before we get to our challenge, we want to send
VERY SPECIAL HAPPY WEDDING WISHES
to our Senior Designer
Ruby McGuire !!


Ruby is getting married on Friday, May 18th
and we are so very happy for her.
We can't wait to see honeymoon photos!


If you are new to the 'Color Splash' there are two things you
need to know before you get started.

1...It's become one of THE most popular 
& favorite challenges
hosted by The Play Date Cafe

2...The focus is simple.

Black...White...and a
'SPLASH' of Mustard Yellow

The 'splash' MUST be some shade of yellow
{ALL OTHER COLORS WILL BE DELETED}

We are really excited to share a brand new sponsor
with you here at The Cafe and a terrific guest designer!


Hello! My name is Karen Taylor.

I am lucky to have two children Jessie and Douglas. I have been blessed with two grandson's, a granddaughter and another
on the way.

I have been a paper craftier for six years but creating 
has always been a part of my life.
I was raised by my grandmother who taught me the love of creating. Inspired by her 1930's scrapbooks
I love all things vintage and old. When I am at home you can find me in my studio.I love to create very special layouts, cards and altered items my mini pieces of art.
I have been lucky to have work with major paper craft companies including Spellbinders Paper Arts,Best Creations, Inc, Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker to name a few and in magazines, on TV (Local TV segments, Creative Memories TV Show, Terri O Show, QVC, Home Shopping Network US and Canada and was published in a book last year as well as work in catalogues and at the Craft and Hobby Association Show for the last six shows. For the past two years I have been a VIP speaker at Midland Memory Expo speaking along side Cardmaker magazines Editor Tanja Fox, Creating Keepsakes Creative Editor, Megan Hoeppner and NikkiSivlis, Scrapbook Paper Company owner just to name a few.
I currently am the Design Team and Social Media Coordinator for Want2Scrap and a Spellblogger for Spellbinders Paper Arts
