Schedule for CAF-E! Challenges

[Nicole Young]

Hey guys!! I have had lots of requests for a schedule for the CAF-E! Challenges....

This is such an awesome & thoughtful idea,we can plan our shopping trips accordingly now. Thanks Nicole~

[JenniferG]

Thanks Nicole! I love to have a heads up! Even though I buy your kits anyway! LOL!

[scamptx]

I love this idea--sure helps me prepare and plan!

[renee s]

So glad to see this list! Now I can plan ahead!

[stitchmich]

I haven't done a CAF-E challenge yet, but I'm working on my Storybook Dreams page as we speak (uh... type). Thanks for the list so I can see what to look forward to.

[handkl]

Thank you so much for posting this Nicole!

[happybeingamom]

I really appreciate this Nicole.

[renee s]

Nicole, when will the kits for your February challenges be in the store?

[GrandmaCrys]

I so appreciate this, Nicole! Makes budgeting so much easier! Heartfelt thanks from me for doing this!

[just-pjz]

Nicole..this is so awesome of you!
It really helps out for those of us on a budget!
Thank You!

[sammawow]

Thanks, Nicole! This will really help - maybe I can plan ahead! Operative word being maybe - I tend to procrastinate! :)

[sandygb]

I love writing all those challenges on my calendar. LOL. Something to look forward to!

[jestep]

thank you Nicole...i like looking forward...and .....is that Sandy, up at 7:30 am....Sandy are you on baby watch....or at the end of a long nite of scrapping. i am going to your gallery right now to see what you are up too. lol

[kmman]

Hey Nicole! I'm sorry, but I wasn't sure where to post this...!

I may have missed it (and if so I'm super sorry) but I don't think I received the posting bonus for the Mocha Latte Love challenge. Is it possible to still get this? I tried sending you an email but I must've goofed that, too.

[Nicole Young]

Oh I will send you a PM later this afternoon kmman, sorry I didnt receive your email I dont think! I will double check on that too!!!

[JenniferG]

Can I pry some previews from you? I'm so curious to see what these "not in the stores yet" kits are! LOL!

[Nicole Young]

LOL...nope! Its a big secret until the 4th ;) Actually we don't show previews of kits unless they are in the store already or being used as a prize or freebie. Sorry! But I PROMISE you will love both!!!! Does that make it any easier to wait??? LOL

[chanmansmom]

Is the 4th the big release day for new kits???????

[Nicole Young]

Yep both of those kits will be in the store on the 4th :)

[JenniferG]

Well of course it doesn't!!! LOL! But I guess I can wait until tomorrow after 9pm PST to find out! Thank goodness it's only a little more than 24 hours away! (actually, 31 hours and 52 minutes away...good thing I can sleep for some of those hours and I have school work to keep me busy!) And don't worry, I know I'll love them! I always do! Poor dh, though. Yet more kits I'll be buying as soon as the money rolls in. Already got the Perfect Patterns CD in my cart just waiting impatiently to be purchased...what's a couple more kits?

LOL...nope! Its a big secret until the 4th ;) Actually we don't show previews of kits unless they are in the store already or being used as a prize or freebie. Sorry! But I PROMISE you will love both!!!! Does that make it any easier to wait??? LOL

[Nicole Young]

first post updated with new kits :D

[JenniferG]

Yay!!! The new kits were in my cart by 9:01pm PST! LOL! Love them! And my mind was churning last night with ideas for layouts! LOL!

[happybeingamom]

I bought Free to Play Page Kit today as it is on sale.

Now I am waiting for the Valentine sale :lol:

I need to find time to do these LO's. I guess the laundry will not be folded.

[Raphne]

[mcbowersox]

I just have to say I LOVE Out of the Toybox! I can't wait for the blog freebie and AOP!

[chanmansmom]

Thanks Again Nicole for having this schedule! It makes planning and shopping so much more fun & exciting!! And gives us time to find the photos to use for the kit challenges~

[ChrisM]

Great idea Nicole - thank you :) Now I (hopefully) wont miss a challenge because of lack of time - as Debbie above just said, it gives me time to find the photos.

:):)

[tg13]

Thank you Nicole it´s great to have this schedule. now I can find the right photos in time ;)

[RoadMap4Us]

Hi, All.

If you are a 'regular' in the CAF-E! challenge, you are probably waiting for your gorgeous posting bonus from Midnight In The Garden! Nicole wanted all of you to know she is having Internet problems today. She'll be out here with that bonus just as soon as she can hop back on-line.

Take care, All.

[sandygb]

Thanks for the info Deb! I know Nicole never forgets us. :)

[handkl]

Nicole, will you be adding Ireland Fields to your challenge list?

[shawsi]

Nicole, this is so good. I don't like to miss one of yours, so I really like it when you do this. It makes it easier for us.
Sandi

[sanra]

Nicole, I was just looking for your challenges and saw this thread. This is great. :)

[Jenni]

[Nicole Young]

BTW guys, I am always open to kit suggestions!! You are welcome to post ideas in this thread, color schemes, photos that you havent scrapped, themes, specific elements....etc....I cant promise I will always be able to make 100% of the suggestions, but I love hearing what you guys want!!!

[Nicole Young]

updated :)

[Many Feathers]

OMG Nicole! Just saw the 2 new kits....you just continue to ROLL girl! Simply AWESOME!!! I love the Vintage Coffeehouse, but how will I ever wait to do the Frog King one...incredible!!!!!

[Raphne]

Oooh, Nicole, I was coming over to beg for a challenge with the Vintage Coffeehouse, and I see it's already scheduled! Yay! And of course the Frog kit is a real winner too, esp for those of us with little boys lol

[Nicole Young]

updated :)

[Muma]

Just reading through and you were asking about suggestions for kits .......

Not sure if you have done a sea/beach/underwater/coastline kinda theme or not ... just gone through your store and could not find it ..... but that could be a fun. Lighthouse, fish, lots of beach things such as deckchair, ball, bucket, cliffs

Unfortunately I wont be getting close to a coastline or beach this year but thought your style would produce some very cute kits with this theme :) Actually saying that I do have several tropical beach photos to scrap for my brother. Now that's another theme.

[MyPinkFlipFlops]

Oooo! I was gonna suggest this too! I'd love some beach stuff in your style. Many pictures need to be scrapped from various beach vacations.

Don't forget some pink flip flops!!! Pretty please!

[ReneT]

Nicole, is Giggleland just a short challenge or it that a typo? It says June 6th thru 10th.

[Karensg]

Hi Nicole, as a Newbie I would just like to say a Great Big Thank You for making your challenges so straight forward!

Your schedule is WONDERFUL and your bait via a freebie really inspires me and gets me to re-look at my pictures to see what picture would fit the kit rather than what kit fits my pictures... and gets me using pictures I may never have. I've looked at some of the other challenges to no avail and keep coming back to yours!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[Karensg]

I am anxious to see A Gypsy Tale, I am hoping for a crystal ball and some gold coins...

[Nicole Young]

updated! :)

[Karensg]

Hi Nicole, summer is coming and with summer comes "Fair Season". Would you have a kit (or hopefully one coming) with a fair theme, arcades full of teddy bears, candy floss, candy apples, ferris wheel...?

[GrandmaCrys]

This has nothing to do with this thread, but since I'm here, I just wanted to say:

Nicole, I love your new avi and your longer hair is very pretty! You're looking more and more like your beautiful mother. So sorry to have missed the IA crop! :(

[Pie]

Nicole

I noticed that your daughter is playing soccer. My GD, a senior coming season, has played soccer all during highschool. I'm doing the senior scrapbook and and of course all the team goodies along the way. If you think it would be something sellable (word?) on a
decent scale would you consider doing a girl or girl/boy soccer kit.
There are a few around but not with the Nicole touch. I've not noticed on the threads if there alot of the ladies that mention they have soccer in their lives.

Kathleen

[Lisa Campbell]

Nicole,
Will you be holding a Caf-e Challenge with:
The Fairest
I love it! You are the greatest! I am having withdrawls from Crazy Chick chat! :D

[Nicole Young]

Ohh a soccer kit, not a bad idea!!!! I will have to keep that in mind! And YES!!! The Fairest will be a challenge kit!!!! :)

[Raphne]

And YES!!! The Fairest will be a challenge kit!!!! :)


LOL I"m glad to hear that, since I couldn't resist it when it was on Sale Sunday! Now I know I'll use it :)

[Nicole Young]

Updated :)

[ReneT]

Ooooohhhhhh, I can't wait to see Peace, Love & Independence!

[tif_gerber]

P, L & I...cool kit Nicole, in my cart now!

[Nicole Young]

updated :)

[Nicole Young]

Updated list!

[Nicole Young]

updated :)

[TalyQ]

I just discovered this list. Thank you for putting it up. That helps me to plan my purchases =)

[scamptx]

I know I've said it before, Nicole, but this list is just marvelous. I add your challenges to my calendar, and the kits to my wish list as soon as they go up so as not to inadvertently miss any. Saves me a ton of time searching each week to see who is doing what--with you, I always know!

[caraffle]

I am working on my Trendsetters and found this thread and realized that yet again I had forgotten to post a kit kit to a challenge........ when will I learn to make a LO the day I get the kit.
Just posting here to get my frustration out and then get back to work.

[Nicole Young]

Hey caraffle if you finished a challenge and just forgot to post a link or the layout, let me know, I can send the last bonus to you if you upload the photo now :) Let me know!

[Many Feathers]

Hello Nicole,
I used elements from The Repose for the right side of a 2 page LO (the left side is from Heavenly Moments for Lauren's challenge). Should I wait to upload the right side until The Repose is your challenge? Or should I just link it later? Is that fair?

Like everyone else, I love that you give the challenges ahead of time. It just worked so well with my 2 page LO this week.

Thanks again for all you do!
