The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC59



Welcome back to another week with us here at
The Play Date Cafe!

Our senior team have had our hands full...
We know that there are 118 of you who are
anxiously waiting to hear back regarding our
Design Team Call.
The US/UK time difference makes the
communication take quite a bit longer at
this busy time of the year.
There is SO much terrific talent that we are
rearranging a few things to make room for six
designers (instead of five) AND we are
working on a few creative ways to give more
of these wonderful people an opportunity to
be featured.
So thank you for your patience...In case you
are wondering, we have not contacted anyone
regarding a spot on the team...so if you have
not heard from us, neither have the other 117!
HANG TIGHT....SOON!!!!

Our design team have been absolutely
blown away
by the incredible entries that have been placed
in our gallery week after week and our
red & white challenge was no exception!
We encourage you to keep up the great work and
put your creative thinking caps on for this
week's color story, which is hosted by our UK

We all know that Sarah loves to create
with all sorts of bold and unique color combos,
so when she spotted this fabulous piece of
artwork from one of our regular players,
she knew it had to be a color story for you to try.
We are so appreciative to 
for allowing us to share this great color story with you.
