The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC89




Welcome to this week's challenge 
at The Play Date Cafe!

Each week, we are absolutely blown away by the
creativity and design-work that goes into your projects
and last week, you really outdid yourselves.
We bring some of the most challenging color combos
to you and you do not shy away from the challenge!
Congratulations to you all!

This week, it's soft and subtle with the
Jax's suggested colors of....

Mint...Buttercream...Taupe

Are you ready to meet this week's
The Cafe is so happy to welcome 
this week's Guest Designer...


"Hi, my name is Nicky Hsu. I am so happy to be the guest designer this week for PDCC. I live in Seattle with my loving husband and a beautiful cat. We are soon to be parents this summer and very excited to meet our little guy. My boy is the best gift I ever had.
I’ve been stamping, paper-crafting for about 3 years and have been hooked ever since. I’ve always liked to play with color, paper, pens since I was a kid. I am so happy to find the paper-craft world and it’s just another way to extend my all time favorite hobby. Of course a lot more fun. I enjoy the look on people’s faces when they open my card and seeing how much they love and feel loved through the cards. It makes me happy knowing my cards 
make them happy.
Come visit my blog at Craft Coffee Cat and leave a comment. I would love hearing from you. I can’t wait to see all your creations."



It's always so much fun when we introduce new
sponsors to The Cafe and this week is no exception...


Let's hear from Lisa Hjulberg, owner of The Craft's Meow...

 "Opening this store is a dream come true for me... I'm following Henry David Thoreau's advice to Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. I've imagined this for a very long time! We offer an array of stamps and paper crafting kits with coordinating bits and bobs that will make your paper crafting easier and more fun! We will also offer from time to time limited edition grab bags where everything old becomes new again!  And this is just the beginning... I hope you'll stay with me for more delectable things to come!"


 This week's 'Cup of the Week' will win...

Our design team & guest had a chance to play with
a variety of images from The Craft's Meow
