Life is a Carnival at The Play Date Cafe

It is so great to be back with you this week for...

Jaclyn Miller, our Color Story Coordinator really found

my soft spot with this beautiful color palette.

I love when a company I represent is also the sponsor

of our challenge and this week, our entire team was

able to play with the fab stamps from....

It was a no-brainer for me to use my

favorite new set from TCM 'Life is a Carnival'

This stamp set has so many CrAzY good possibilities!

When I was a junior in high school, I did my end of the year

term paper on the 'Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus'.

I spent a day or two at the circus' national museum in Florida

and I absorbed everything I could...I was so fascinated.

So any time there is a chance to work with circus, carnival

or county fair stamps, I am thrilled!

I used my favorite inks from A Muse Studio

which gave such a subtle effect...just what I was looking for.

This is what the set looks like and 

I'll let you in on a little secret.....

This is the set you could win if you play along with

us over in The Cafe this week!

So what are you waiting for??

Pop by The Cafe and check out the amazing work from 

our design team and this week's guest using a variety
