We had an amazing response to our
 'colour splash' challenge
 last week.  
We know many of you enjoy these special colour challenges
 and it's lovely to read of those of you for whom
'black and white with a splash of colour' 
has become a new combo you love to use!

This is our FINAL CALL

Design Team Submissions

The deadline is midnight EST
this Sunday, November 7th.
For all of the details, click here

This week's post is written by our UK
Senior Designer, Sarah Anderson
[so keep your eye out for those English spellings!]
whilst the colour story comes from 
Senior DesignerJulie Ranae
across the pond in the US.


You are welcome to submit projects using
any theme, and any supplies so have fun!
Did you know you can submit sewn items, paintings, crochet,  
journal pages,knitted pieces, jewellery...?  
Anything goes  in The Play Date Cafe as long as you use
our color story
as the focus of your project this week.

This week we welcome 'The Artistic Stamper' from the UK as our sponsor.


and designer for The Artistic Stamper range of stamps...

"The Stamp Connection has been in business since 1995 and we manufacture The Artistic Stamper range of stamps and 'Kling-On' repositionable cushioning too. All of our stamps are unmounted natural red rubber. We like to produce stamps that will work well with others, and co-ordinate with lots of our own. I love playing with designs that transfer into 3D pieces , so often my inspiration for stamp designs comes from my own love of 3D!"

Here's what you could win....

£15 [$25] Artistic Stamper stamps 
of the winner's choice

Jennie will ship these anywhere in the world, and will include
the appropriate amount of Kling-On cushioning free.
