We are so glad to welcome our
newest designer Julie Campbell from
Here's what Jules had to say about the inspiration
for this week's challenge:
Hello! So excited for my first week at The Play Date Cafe! I've enjoyed playing along with the challenges since the very first week, and am so looking forward to all the new challenges coming up! While looking through scores of photographs for some inspiration, this one just leaped out at me! Being a vintage girl at heart, I fell in love with the beautiful vintage-looking perfume bottles. The colors really drew my eye--I love that light blue next to the purple...a little bit of silver, some soft and lovely white all around...just felt like a lovely color combination for me to work with! Hope you enjoy it, too! Looking forward to seeing all your beautiful creations.
Have fun!
Have fun!
Here are projects from our other designers to help inspire you.....

Sandi ~ The Paper Trail / Celticwoman
