The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC73

It's time for another set of

yummy colors

here in The Cafe.

It's been so great to see so many new players

and new followers of our challenge.

With the many choices out there,

we appreciate the support you have shown

to our wonderfully creative design team.

Each week, they bring you such

amazing inspiration

for all skill levels of crafting.

This week's challenge host is

Senior Designer, Julie Ranae

"If you have been a fan of our challenge

for any length of time, you know I draw

loads of inspiration from America's

most successful hostess, Martha Stewart.

When I saw this color palette by way of these

beautiful photos, my choice was easy.

I hope you enjoy having a play with them.

They are bold and rich and yes....yummy!"

We love when we have Guest Designers who come

along with our sponsorships and this week is

definitely no exception!

Please welcome, for the first time in The Cafe...

Paulina Nakamura

"I'm a HUGE rubber stamper. I have stamped for as long as I can remember- I started when I was a little girl. Over the years my style has definitely progressed. (Take a look at my older posts...I'm amazed at how much I have improved!) I'm a perfectionist and I like to think that my cards show that fact. I'm a huge fan of rhinestones, scallops, ribbons and yes, PINK.

I'm a girly girl who likes to live large, but spend thrifty...sort of. My blog captures the essence of who I am, the things I enjoy/ am interested in, and the things I am learning. In between my crafting posts, you may find mentions of the gym (I'm starting to become a junkie), movies and friends. I hope you'll come follow me on this adventure called Life."

Our Design Team had the privilege of playing
with a variety of images from DeNami.
Here's a little about their fabby company:

Established in 1989, DeNami Design has been known for a timeless style featuring simply elegant art. From our extensive line of quality rubber stamps to the newer line of coordinating scrapbook papers, we specialize in stylish and sophisticated products. These delightful designs are easy to mix and match for a designer look on all your paper arts.

 In addition to providing a wide range of products, we also have an extensive collection of project ideas. We strive to continually provide you with new inspiration both on our website and our blog. We hope you'll check them out!

Paulina brought something along from DeNami Design
that will be given to this week's Cup of the Week...
