The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC30

 The design team here at The Play Date Cafe are

excited to see this challenge grow each week.

Many thanks go out to YOU for not only playing

with us each week, but for sharing The PDCC with

those you know who also love a good challenge!

We are wonderfully excited to share this week's

celebrity guest designer...
Maile Belles 

  It's our guess that Maile is no stranger to you.

She is currently on the design teams for

Embellish Magazine, Wplus9Design 

and Papertrey Ink.

She has been published in a variety of

paper crafting magazines including:

Paper Crafts, Cards and the

premier issue of Embellish, which is

owned by our recent guest,

Ashley Cannon Newell.

You don't have to wait for these publications to

hit newsstands, though.  You can see Maile's

creativity anytime on her blog

'Simply Stamped'.

Senior Designer, Mona Pendleton is the
'chooser of this week's colors' for you!
Aren't they wonderfully 'spring-like'?!
Wait till you see what she did to help inspire you...

Yep...that's 'Mona-style'   : )


Your designer host for this week is our own

Suzanne Czosek.

Here's how she approached this week's challenge:

"This challenge, I loved the colors as they were
soft, pastel and springy.  But when I went to
start working on my card, I was stumped!
I started with the idea of doing a baby card,
but as usual, I meandered away from that and
picked up my alcohol inks and a new stamp
and THAT'S the card I am sharing with you!

Here's what the rest of our designers have done to inspire you.....
