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...

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!
