Practicing Creativity is the result of a dream, a supportive husband, and a fantastic book called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller. After a year of wishing and dreaming of designing stamps we made the plunge. We were determined to try, and the quote below helps remind us of our dream.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
Our Goal First we want to provide you with fantastic designs, made with top quality materials, and great service to boot! Secondly we want you to be inspired! We hope you'll find our products as well as our design team as fuel for your inspiration. 
Thank you to all of you who have encouraged and supported us!

designers into new positions here in The Cafe.
Michele Gross, who joined the PDCC this last term

Jaclyn will bring her very creative graphic
design background to some of the most
creative color stories 
you'll experience!
We are blessed to have so much talent on our
team and to encourage our designers to use
their full talents here in The Cafe is what brings
the very best to you!

final {scheduled} color story this week.



We welcome back to The Cafe a wonderful sponsor...



Mark's Finest Papers started business in October, 2009. The owners had the perfect logo, Speedy the Cat, their pet. Yes, he is real!
 Mark's Finest Papers' began in a climate control warehouse. In two weeks, they had to move, as they had tripled in size.  And, after 64 days of selling other companies' images, they decided they could design their own.
  In January 2010, Faith, (the owner), started designing the Speedy the Cat's Designer Collection Stamp Sets. They had NO IDEA how successful the line would become. They sold out of all the sets within 39 minutes of putting them on the web site, and have had continuing success each month with their new releases. 
 Now, they  have an extensive Premium Paper Line that rivals the "big guys!" Their 80lb, 100lb, 120lb and 140lb card stocks can't be beaten for high quality and  premium color saturation. MFP's Snow Storm Smooth and Snow Storm Smooth Heavy Card Stock is perfect for use with Copic Markers. They  also carry Premium Pencil Paper, Wowza Watercolor paper, Linens, Parchtones, and naturals.
 Mark's Finest Papers also has a tool line that  includes punches, Copics, Tonic, Sizzix and Spellbinders. They have over 200 ribbons/twines/cordings, and just as many charms.
 Mark's Finest Papers also has a on-line community called Speedy TV. It's full of tutorials, galleries of inspiration, and open Live discussions.
 Visit them at www.MFPSpeedyTV.ning.com
