The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC08

Are you having fun with the Cafe Challenge?  You must be as we had our largest number of players this past week.  I know the designers are having a ball working on creative color combos for the New Year and there are surprises coming as well.  I can tell you that we have a VERY exciting sponsor for the first challenge of 2010, so now is the time to get your feet wet and
have some fun with us!

We also have our very first Guest Designer who was chosen by our design team.  Mona Pendleton of Cupcake's Creations will be joining us for two of our December challenges.
We love her style and we think you will too!

 

This week's design host is Alison
Alison gave us an extra opportunity to be creative with a her own digi-stamp line from Stretch N' Bubbles.
We would love for you to play along with this week's challenge using this or any of her adorable images, but as always, play along with the medium you love best!  If you are new to digi-stamps, Alison has a fabulous tutorial on how easy they are to use.

Here is what Alison had to say about this week's inspiration...

When I was looking for my inspiration my thoughts kept coming back to my three favorite colors for the holiday's, Red, Lime Green, and Bright Pink. I just love the way these three colors compliment each other so well, yet they create such a fun and funky pallet to play with. I wanted to make this weeks challenge fun, light and playful.. so these were the perfect colors.. I hope you will join us in playing this week.
I can't WAIT to see what you create..

Here are projects from our other designers to help inspire you.....

 Julie ~ A Vintage Chic

 

 Sarah ~ The Art of Moodling

ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAY! 
We want you to enjoy this challenge, so interpret the colors the way you see them. We are not using specific card stock color names nor brands for our challenges, so you can really break out of the box and have some fun. What we do ask is that the colors that are in the challenge BE our focal colors...when using additional colors, please limit them to neutrals. You are welcome to combine challenges, but we do ask that 1. They be used for the first time here 2. You mention in your post that you are playing (better yet, display our color challenge photo) and 3. OUR colors are the focus of the card.
