It's Time for a Little 'Splish Splash' of Color

Somethin' a little CAS for you!

After a really fun week over at The Play Date Cafe

it's nice to take a little breather.

Running a challenge blog is a big commitment and

I love every minute of it....well, almost every minute.

 

To give you an idea...

My Wednesdays are reserved mainly for The Cafe.

I spend a good six hours on preparing the post,

which includes transferring and loading all

of the photo files, gathering the votes from our

design team for recognized players and our winners,

I edit, edit, edit....and oh I, edit some more...

everything from sponsor information to

guest designer bios etc, and answering

the last minute questions that come in 

from the team...

Oh...not to mention that when the 'linking system'

for our player entries goes down (like it did an

hour before the deadline last night) those entries

all have to be forwarded to the team as well.

So there are days like today,

when I turn the ringer off of my phone!

But...I love it!
 

My good friend and partner in crime over at

The Play Date Cafe has chosen this lovely

color splash photo of, what we call here,

Columbines...but when you visit The Cafe

and read about Sarah's choice of color story,

you will see she calls them something quite different.

I have lived with a British man for over 20 years

and have found that even though we both speak

English, they are two very different languages to be sure!

(But I digress.....)

Yes, Clean & Simple.

We are being sponsored by Mark's Finest Papers

this week and they provided the team with a lovely

set of stamps to play with.

I loved using their flourishes around the edges of my

die cuts, this one is from Sizzix.

The sentiment is also lovely with it's ornate lettering.

Even with a bow, this card would be quite appropriate

for a man or a woman.

Don't forget....our Design Team Call

is still open through November 7th.

We have received submissions from pretty much

every corner of the globe...have we received yours?

Many of you have mentioned that you were

going to 'set your nerves aside and apply'.

I am guessing that happens to many people, so don't

let that deter you...you could be one of the next

designers on The World's Greatest Design Team!
