Well...This is an 'unusual' inspiration photo
for The Play Date Cafe, is it not?!
Time to shake things up a bit and
get really creative! Are you ready?
It's the first...
'colour horribilis' challenge!
Sarah Anderson is our host with the
creative idea for this week, so let's just see
what this is all about.....
"Are there any colours that don't go together? That clash?
The very talented Penny Bearcroft from Life is a Fountain
and I discussed this one day at one of my workshops.
Penny thought it would be fun to play with a few colours that
most would think were, well...not so lovely together : )
I thought this would make a fun challenge and asked Penny to come up with some.
Well...here they are!
Now I happen to think they do go together,
and Penny's proved it .... just take a look at her creation!
So are there any colours that don't go together?
Or is it just the tones of the colours that don't work out?
So while you're creating with these colours, we'd love you to ponder this question.
See what you come up with for colours that don't go well together.
We'd love to hear your ideas, but make sure you complete
this challenge
in navy blue, hot pink and mustard yellow."

We are sad to be saying goodbye to one of our
design team members this week.
As the 6 month term has come and gone already,
it unfortunately passes all too quickly.
Stephanie Kraft has been such a wonderful friend
and creative partner to the rest of our team and we
know she has been an inspiration to you as well.
We hope she doesn't mind that we shared her final
thoughts for our team with you...
