It's an exciting week here in The Cafe....
So let's get to some pretty BIG NEWS first!

We are coming to the end of our design team term in just a couple 
weeks....we will be saying goodbye to one of our designers
and moving the rest of our girls into new terms!
Along with these changes (which will be announced soon) we
are thrilled to be bringing on 
two brand new designers to The Play Date Cafe!!!

Joining us as a  
first term designer...

and 

Our next 
 Private Blend Designer...



Both of these talented ladies will officially
join us for their first challenge on August 4th!


This week's suggested colors are:
Eggplant...Fuschia...Orangesicle


This week, we have a wonderful lady in The Cafe
joining us as
this week's Guest Designer....


"My name is Kendra Wietstock and I've been anxiously awaiting this week 
as a guest designer at PDCC.   I live in Northern Indiana with my 
husband and two children.  I currently work as a freelance designer for Our
Craft Lounge, Lizzie Anne Designs, i{heart}papers and Whimsy & Stars 
Studios.   In addition to my design duties for Our Craft Lounge, I am 
also  the Customer Service Representative and Design Team Coordinator which
also includes teaching classes and making store samples for retail 
locations.    Although I spend most of my time these days stamping, when 
I do find some spare time in my schedule, I spend it on my first "crafting
love" ~ scrapbooking." 
 
 
We sound like a broken record lately, but in a good way!
We have another brand, new sponsor with us!
 
 
and what a terrific prize package for our
Cup of the Week.... 
 
 
Our Designers thank OCL for providing
their fab stamps to our team !
