The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC24

Who wouldn't love to have this lovely bouquet of color

on your dining room table?!

A very exciting week here in The Cafe as we welcome

'celebrity' Guest Designer & sponsor, 

Kristen Powers.

Kristen is an artist/illustrator and has designed rubber

stamp images for a number of years. She's recently
launched a new line of clear stamps,
hand-carved and digital images available
through her blog, Kpink.

Along with Mona's fabulous color selection above,

we were also inspired to use a digital-stamp image

designed by Kristen, especially for The Play Date Cafe.

You will know these images by their fun 'Cafe' theme.

A few of our designers created cards with general rubber

stamps to give you a variety of ideas using this week's colors.

Now...meet Lisa Somerville

Your host for this week's challenge.

"I started stamping about 8 years ago and like many people 

I was introduced through a 'home party'. So I bought a few 

things just to help out my friend who was the hostess.

  I bought an Iris Cart to store my stamping supplies,

thinking I'd have enough room. 

Little by little, one stamp led to two, then three, 

you get the idea.  I outgrew my Iris Cart rather quickly.  

I now have a wonderful studio where I create.

Barely a day goes by where you don't find me 

stamping late into the night!  

Stamping has brought out my creativity and 

brought some wonderful friendships into my life."
