The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC28

The design team here at The Play Date Cafe are

excited to see this challenge grow each week.

Many thanks go out to YOU for not only playing

with us each week, but for sharing The PDCC with

those you know who also love a good challenge!

We are wonderfully excited to share this week's

celebrity guest designer...

Ashley Cannon Newell.

If you are an avid reader of blogs or paper crafting

magazines, then Ashley will certainly be a familiar

name to you.  As someone who has enjoyed the 

art of design her entire life, she began as a child

creating hair accessories and designing clothes, and in

high school, paper crafting started with a simple scrapbook.

Over time, Ashley rediscovered the craft 

and started blogging in 2008.  

Her favorite techniques include rubber stamping

and creating her own embellishments.  She really 

"likes the challenge and it saves a few dollars, too!"

She lives in Northern Virginia with her best friend

and love of her life, McArthur and their

Yorkshire Terrier, Ozzy.  They enjoy photography

and travel.  During the day, Ashley is a legal editor

and by night she paper crafts.

Ashley's work can be found in a variety of card-based

publications and most recently, she has started her own

challenge-based e-zine, Embellish Magazine, to inspire

others to create when there is no mojo.

This week's color host is senior designer,

Julie Ranae.

"I vividly  remember using crayons in grade school

to create this color combination and it has been

one of my favorites ever since.  I was really happy

to find these fabulous photos from Marthastewart.com

and knew that it was a 'color story' that I wanted

to share.  I hope you have fun with it!"
