The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC82


When you look at this color story, 
what do you think about creating?
Well we can't wait to see it!
These colors are so fresh and lovely and we know that
our gallery this week is going to be filled with stunning creations!

Here's something you may not know...
Each week, as our designers visit the blogs of each entry
they keep a list of their favorite creations and
that is how our winners & honorable mentions are chosen.
The votes are tallied up, so you have a great opportunity
to be spotlighted with us...it's not one vote per designer.
We do not do random draws...we believe that those who
take the time to enter deserve the time to be considered.

This week's color story is provided by 
and here is what she brings to inspire you....


I know each week we say how super excited we are
when it comes to each of our guest designers and
this week, we are saying it again!
Many of you will know her from her blog and from
a very popular challenge that has since been retired.

Please welcome this week's Guest Designer...

"I am a wife and mother to a teenage daughter. I love to cook, run, and inspire.
Most of all I love to be inspired. Creating is my passion."


This week's sponsor is no stranger to The Cafe and
we hope you will stop by their blog to see beautiful
work from a few of their designers.....
