The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC77

You guys totally rocked last week's challenge!

Those vivid colors combined with your

fantastically creative projects

made it one of our most colorful galleries to date.

One quick housekeeping note:

Please remember to either post our color story graphic

and/or the name of our challenge with a direct link

to our challenge site.
There are a few of you who have

been missing that part and we want you all to be eligible

for the fabulous prizes on offer.

Another quick reminder is to link back to your post

that refers to this challenge...not your entire blog.

Again, it disqualifies you from winning and we

want you to be rewarded for your beautiful work.

Now onto the fun!

Your host for this week is one of our UK girls,

Senior Designer, Ruby 2 Shoes

"As everyone knows I do like my bright colours so for this week’s colours I set myself a mini challenge .. to create a colour palette that was a bit more neutral!  Now that Spring is here I thought it would be nice to add a splash of green to lift things up a bit, with all that new foliage sprouting up around everywhere!   I hope you enjoy working with this week’s colour story as much as I have with this week’s sponsor stamps by Greeting Farm.  I just LOVE their stamps!"

Our guest designer this week is one fun & fab

designer in the blogging world.

If you follow her at all on Facebook, you will know

just how fun she can be!

Please welcome....

"I'm Jessica Diedrich and I am SO excited to be the Guest Designer this week for the PDCC!  I was bitten by the stamping bug about 7 years ago now and I think it gets more infectious every day!  I've met some of my best friends through this craft and have had the opportunity to accomplish some really exciting things while doing so.  In addition to being a Mommy of 4 (my GREATEST accomplishments in life), stamping, and working from home for The Greeting Farm, I enjoy reading, tons of good music, spending time at the pool or lake with my family and our dogs, and I really enjoy a good cup of coffee no matter WHAT time of day it is!
Thanks so much for having me along for your AWESOME challenge!"

We are really excited to welcome yet another 

new sponsor to The Cafe....

"The Greeting Farm" first sprouted into the stamping world in 2008 as a small dream and has cultivated into something wonderful because of our wonderful customers like you!  With two plus years of fun-loving, animated characters, including our best-selling "Anya" icon, The Greeting Farm brings you cute, charismatic images that are LOADS of fun to COLOR!  Shortly after the popularity of Anya and her sidekick Ian arose, our Wild Sprout line was added, including the Cheeky Cherry collection featuring an almost vintage/pinup feel that has been widely popular after our first CHA trade show in winter of 2010!  Also added to to our line last year was the adorable Oliver and Amelia collection, and brand new this year, our "Creepers"-a more edgy and artistic side of TGF.  There is truly something for EVERYONE on the Farm and we are so glad to be sponsoring the Play Date Cafe!  Please visit us at www.thegreetingfarm.com!"

This week's 'Cup of the Week' is going to enjoy a

$25 Shopping Spree from The Greeting Farm!!!
 

You will notice that each of our designers have a common-look

this week!  The folks at The Greeting Farm graciously

provided Anya & Ian for each of us to design with

and we are out to really inspire you this week!

We also welcome a few of the designers of The Greeting Farm

who will be joining us as well!
