What is CAF-E! with Nicole?

[Nicole Young]

What is CAFÉ you ask? :think:
It is a great challenge for all of us that want our beautiful photos and stories to create everlasting memories!
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in at anytime! Come join us in the CAFÉ for a great challenge with tons of bonuses!!!
I want to see layouts that are straight from your heart! Whether they are lighthearted or deep! Comical or serious! Graphic or Paper! Scrap what makes YOU happy!

Use the featured page kit, create a layout, and post it to the CAFE with Nicole gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4918), post a link in the weekly challenge thread, and get a TOTALLY awesome freebie!!! Don't know how to upload your layouts? That's ok...we have a tutorial on that!!! Check it out HERE (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/general_uploadGallery_ep/general_uploadGallery_ep.shtml)!!! How about linking your layout in the thread? Are you stuck?? We have a tutorial on that too!!!! Check it out HERE (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/dsp_Links_ep.shtml)!!!

OH BUT WAIT!!! (Do I sound like an infomercial yet???) Want to upgrade your challenge to get EVEN MORE fun elements and papers? You can enhance your stash with a SMALL VALUE COLLECTION!!!
What in the world is a Small Value Collection???? OOOhhh I am SO glad you asked! It is a 24 piece set that includes of both the featured page kit (the one you MUST use to receive the bonus at the end of the challenge) and a coordinating full page kit for a reduced price!

Ohhhhh but that’s NOT ALL!!!! The posting bonus for the CAFÉ challenge will be a FULL PAGE KIT each week! This page kit is the coordinating kit for the next week’s CAFÉ challenge. So you will only have to buy the featured kit the next week and you will own the ENTIRE value collection!

What? You thought I was done?? Oh NO my dear friends! I have to give away a freebie still!!!! Each week I will feature a small coordinating freebie on my blog!!!! Sometimes a groupie, sometimes a plopper, sometimes an alpha, sometimes an overlay set….you get the idea! But you don’t want to miss the FREEBIE! So go sign up for my blog and you will be first to know when my freebies are available!!!!

[Nicole Young]

Sure!!! Here is the link to my blog! I am TERRIBLE about keeping it updated, but I will work on getting better at posting previews of my new kits!! I have a kit that is coming out in November on there now called Enchanted Topaz. And I will put on some previews a bit later for a few of my September kits!

Oh Jas....be sure to put your link in this thread so I dont miss you!!! This is just the explanation thread!!! http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28908

[jas7274]

Thanks so much. I'm still trying to get use to all this "stuff". Sorry about the confusion...(I probably should be a blond!)

[Nicole Young]

oh trust me! It is kind of overwhelming at first but everyone around here is really nice and completely helpful!! :)

[pamprp]

speaking of being a blonde...I am new here and this sounds like a great way to learn. Where do I get the chosen kit for the week?

thanks

[emandlivsmom]

I think this is a general post about the ongoing challenge. here is the current challenge, due today. There should be a link in this link to go buy the kit in the store. Another one should be starting soon with a new kit.

The CAFE challenge has been updated to for MORE fun!!! Be sure to check out the first post and the most recent challenge!

[janetklm]

Oooooooooh Nicole... I loooooooooooooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[>>aruaL<<]

So Nicole... do I understand it right.... if you ( mean the general you.. not YOU.. lol) to do your challenge every week, then your only having to buy the FEATURED KIT, because you will have received the coordinating kit (the same one that is in the value collection) the week before. So really, only this first challenge are we needing *ok.. not NEEDING.. but you know what I mean* to buy the value collection in order to have both kits. Is that correct? Or have I lost my mind... again.

[Nicole Young]

That is 100% correct! You got it!! Glad I explained it SORT OF clearly!!! LOL And that way if you ever miss a challenge, you can simply get the Value Collection, if you want all 24 elements! :)

[>>aruaL<<]

Oh you explained it VERY clearly, but being a newbie and all, I start to doubt my understandings of all sorts of things around this place! LOL! :-)
