Welcome one and all to The Cafe!

We are so happy to have you back and can we just say...
what a stunning gallery of projects

Many of you played along with baker's twine as well
which was really fun.
It shows just how versatile it is in crafting, doesn't it?!

This week's suggested colors. . .

Tangerine . . . Apricot . . . Mint

This week, our team played with fabulous stickers
from our favorite sticker sponsor
