The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC21

Spring is definitely in the air...Oh yeah!

Last week you got a glimpse of our new design team.

This week, we are excited to begin sharing their inspiring work with you.

Also joining us for the next two weeks is our

March Guest Designer 

Jean Franks Beck of Bluebird Paperie

 Jean designs for Cornish Heritage Farms and

Gingersnap Creations.

She is a favorite here in The Cafe 

and we think you'll like her too!

 Each week, you will hear our senior designer's thoughts

behind their color inspirations AND learn a little

something about each of our new designers as

they become your host for each challenge.

Private Blend designer Mona Pendleton's
eye zeroed in on this week's

inspiration photo.  Here's what she has to say...

"Cherry blossoms...a sure sign that Spring has sprung!

The various shades of pink with yellow scattered about

makes for a fabulous color palette for this week's challenge"

Now...meet Savannah O'Gwynn

Your host for this week's challenge.

"I started crafting at a young age, but I didn't buy my first stamps

until my birthday last year.
Last June, my husband encouraged me

to leave my teaching profession to pursue my
crafting passion and it

was then that my life changed.
I started buying lots of stamps, started

my blog and began entering challenges.  I found that I really love

all sorts of crafts.  I love working in my studio and being creative."

Here's what our other designers have done to inspire you.....

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.
