The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC52

It's our

One Year Anniversary 

and we are 

celebrating!

Whether you are just joining us or have played

along with us since the beginning

we thank you!

Without players, a challenge cannot
successfully exist, so your continued support
means the world to us and to our sponsors.

There's plenty of eye candy to inspire you to play.

Our talented design team are here as always

and

we welcome back our fab DT alumni

and as if that weren't enough, we are giving you

a daily dose of inspiration

with our guest designers from

Unity Stamp Company.

That's right...instead of just one post to hold you over
for the week, we will be featuring designers from

The Unity Design Team

each day throughout this week's challenge.

Before we get too far, don't forget that we have a

design team call going on right now!

For all the details, click here!

Now let's get this party started!

This week's sponsors are favorites in the
paper-crafting industry, to be sure!

and here is what you could win...

A set of 15 'Itty Bitty's from Unity Stamp Co.

A set of Five Chipboard Alphabets from Cosmo Cricket

This week's color story comes from the owner of
The Play Date Cafe, senior designer, Julie Ranae...

"Choosing the colors for this week's challenge was pretty
easy for me. I wanted something bright and fun,
colors that spark the idea of celebration.
YOU get to choose which combo of colors to use
from this gorgeous photo...orange?  pink?  yellow?
Thanks to marthastewart.com, mission accomplished
and may I just add in regards to our One Year Anniversary...
thanks to the world's best design team, our sponsors and you,
mission accomplished!"

We are so happy to welcome today's

guest designers from Unity,
AJ Otto.
