We are coming to you early this week to reveal
the brand new designers who will be joining our
team here at The Play Date Cafe.
Over the next three days, you'll get to know each one
a little more personally before they start on their
journey with us August 2nd.
So let's get started .....
Our first designer comes from the
Sooner State of Oklahoma....
you know, where 'royalty' comes from!
Please welcome...
"Hi! I am a wife, and stay at home Mother of two sweet little boys.
Whenever I have a free moment I am playing in my craft room! I was first
introduced to stamping in 2003 when I was invited to a neighborhood
card making club. I soon fell in love with all things stampy, and have
been going non-stop ever since. I have had an amazing year not only
being a Paper Crafts magazine World Card Making Day winner, but also
being chosen as 2012 Stamping Royalty as well. I have been published
numerous times, and I am loving every minute of this ride! I am thrilled
to be a part of The Play Date Cafe Design Team, and I can't wait to see
what you create!
Come visit my blog anytime!"
Our next designer is from the
great state of Texas and is
one of the most creative Marines
we know!
we know!
Please welcome...
"My name is Angi Barrs and I am thrilled to be a first time designer here at The Play Date Café. I
live in “Terrific Texas” with my teenage daughter. I’m frequently in
San Diego as well visiting my oldest daughter too. I’m a full-time Jr.
High school teacher and my background includes journalism, photography,
and I have proudly served my country in the U.S. Marine Corps.
I’m
craft obsessed! Not only do I make cards, but I frequently make altered
projects , home décor, and party favors as well. I’ve gotten to design
for some fabulous manufacturers, and have had my work published in
several crafty magazines. You can find my designs at the Cokie Pop Paper Boutique.
I am so looking forward to working with this inspiring team!"
Our next designer comes to us from the
Buckeye state of Ohio
and is a self-proclaimed nerd!
If this is the work of a nerd,
then we say 'the more the merrier!'
Please welcome...
"Hello! My name is Lynn Adams and you can find me at Artsy Lynn or on Flickr.
My creative journey started several years ago, when I began
scrapbooking with my mother and sister. Since then, I have dabbled in a
little bit of everything, but have come to really enjoy digital
scrapbooking, and more recently, mixed media work. My specialty is art
journaling and I also love drawing and painting my own sketches. I get
my artistic inspiration from my faith, nature, color, and of course from so many
other creative minds out there! I also have to add that I am just about the biggest nerd out there--I
teach math, and I play geeky board and role-playing games, and even
attend game conventions. I am new to the online paper crafting
community, so I am very thankful for the chance to be a part of The Play Date Cafe!"
We are so excited to have these three talented ladies join one
of the best design teams in the color challenge world!
Don't forget, Tuesday & Wednesday we will be sharing the
rest of the new designers with you.
Until then, please make sure you
visit their blogs and
leave them some love...
they totally deserve it!
