The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC78



It's time to embrace Spring!
How about these fabby colors, huh?!
Cath Kidston is recognized the world over and we
thought it would be fun to put these signature colors
into play for this week's challenge.

Your host this week, Senior Designer Julie Ranae

"Yep...whenever I would see Cath Kidston dry goods
in my travels, I would continually think of what a great
color story it would make for our challenge.
I think the colors are Spring-like and really great
layering colors...Enjoy!!!"


It's always so fun to have a new
Guest Designer
in The Cafe and this week
is no exception!
We welcome...



Hannah is a work-at-home mother, a graphic designer for CARDS Magazine and an avid craft-lover. You can find her blogging at www.sherbetblossom.com celebrating the beauty in the everyday, participating with Wplus9 as a design team member and an illustrator, as well as contributing to the Create: blog for Northridge Publishing. She is passionate about family, design, cooking, and creating. When she is not designing on her computer or playing with her 3 cute kids, she can usually be found with 
a stamp nearby and paper in hand.


As if we don't have enough inspiration to tempt you to play...

This week's 'Cup of the Week' will win
a $30 shopping spree from...


Market Street Stamps was founded in January 2010 by artist and stamp enthusiast, Angelica Suarez and her husband, Jorge. Crafted with the highest quality photopolymer on the market today, our stamps stamp like rubber, but are clear (with a peach tint) for your convenience. You'll find an eclectic style in our shop and a variety of small and larger-scaled images for card-making, scrapbooking and mixed media. We have new releases on the last Friday of each month with sneak peeks preceding each new release. We hope to inspire you and have you join us on our blog and Facebook where we always keep it fresh!

    Oh wow, I just realized that I made, "The Cream in Our Coffee", thanks ladies, it's such a huge compliment...especially since I'm relatively new to cardmaking and challenges...
    It seems as though, everyone is loving this colour scheme, one of my favourites and also very appropriate for Earth Day!
    Happy Earth Day everyone!!! Let us be mindful of our impact today and always. Have a wonderful Good Friday/Easter as well... :)
