'Plum' Good

It's time for another 'splash' of color over at

I love this photo and I love 'plum'

I cannot believe I traveled all the way to Christmas with this card,

but I ordered some new Gina K Designs stamps and couldn't

wait to play with them.  As soon as I saw the splash, I knew what

I wanted to do.  I used new paper from FarmHouse Paper Company

called 'Fair Skies' {ordered from StopandScrap.com} and the

shade was perfect.

The little bows are baker's twine from The Twinery and always

make a nice little embellishment.  I used Charcoal and Lilac.

I love CAS for Christmas !

This week, we welcome a brand new sponsor to The Cafe

and we welcome a brand new designer to our team !

So make sure you join us in The Cafe this week.

One more thing . . . 

In two weeks time, we will be celebrating our

THIRD ANNIVERSARY

at

The Play Date Cafe

and I am super excited about all the festivities.

I can't reveal anything now, but suffice to say, there will be

lots of great giveaways, five days of posts and some

terrific surprises.

If you are not yet a follower there, we encourage you to

become one.  We are aiming for 2,000 followers by then.

What a great milestone that would be!

Mark your calendar & spread the word!
