The week just seems to fly by with each challenge, doesn't it?!
We thank you so much for spreading the word and sharing the
fun we have here in The Play Date Cafe.

If this is your first time in The Cafe, you picked a great time!
The prizes that are up for grabs are going to blow you away!
This week's terrific 'color story' was chosen by our host
senior designer, Sarah Anderson and here is a taste of
inspiration all the way from the UK....
We are super excited about introducing you to
our newest sponsor. It was a real treat to play with
their stamps this week in hopes of inspiring you to play.

Paperbag Studios offers a unique mix of rubber stamps
that appeals not only to the rubber stamper but visual
and altered artists alike.
The company was formed seven years ago when
mixed-media artist Roben-Marie Smith began designing
rubber stamps to reflect her distinct, altered-arts voice.
In addition to designing product, Roben-Marie shares her love
of mixed-media art, handmade journals and scrapbooking
through her personal blog 'Every Life Has a Story'.
Want to know what's up for grabs for this week's 'Cup of the Week'?
A $25 Gift Certificate to Paperbag Studios!
Let's 'meet' Roben-Marie our Guest Designer for this week....
"I am a little kooky in my ways and clearly OCD in others. I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning, am addicted to Burt's Bees Lip Balm, I don't like wearing shoes, am a loyal friend, would rather give than receive, am afraid of heights, am an introvert who works hard to be an extrovert and my favorite color is green.
I have been married for over 21 years, I dig football, can converse on many subjects, am a God's girl and a computer geek. My favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice, I am a college graduate, I like to read historical fiction, I used to work in public relations, I lift weights, embrace a variety of music genres, once rode a camel and I make amazing made-from-scratch brownies, or so I am told!
I am into a bunch of craft and art forms, including mixed media, art journaling, sewing, digi designing and more. I like to laugh but sometimes take things too seriously and one day would like to say that "making things for others" is my job!"
