Are you ready for a softer, gentle color palette?

Jaclyn Miller, our Color Story Coordinator gives us
the suggested colors of...

We welcome back one of our all-time favorite
sponsors to The Cafe....


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!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC95



Welcome in to The Cafe everyone!

We are having so much fun this summer sharing 
amazing color stories from all different point of view.
We genuinely love that you play along with us each week!

This week, Jax's suggested colors are:

Navy...Bubblegum...Leaf Green

Always remember that we love when you interpret the 
colors you see to what's on your creative palette, 
so please play with that in mind.
We are VERY excited to welcome this week's sponsor.
  Michelle Ogdahl has been a friend to The Cafe
since we started and has recently started a
fabulous stamp line with the help of Lisa Hetrick.

Avocado Arts is a new company that offers high-quality, clear, photopolymer stamps that are made in the USA. We love that you can "SEE" what you're stamping.  Each month, we release a 4 x 6, clear photopolymer set with images that are interchangeable, giving you endless possibilities in stamping and are perfect for the beginner to the advanced stamper.  We offer our club members exclusive inspiration for each stamp set that is purchased along with perks and discount on other stamp sets.  We believe in providing as many ideas throughout the month as possible and encourage our customers to share their creativity as well.  We also offer a color and sketch challenge every month because we LOVE to get stampy!

In addition to our monthly stamp set we also offer 3 Scrappy stamp sets and a stamp set “My Wish for You” that is part of our Giving Good program.  We believe in paying it forward and giving so each month a portion of the sales from the “My Wish for You” set is donated to a different organization, group, foundation or cause that we support.

We have an outstanding Design Team called the "Pit Crew".  These ladies are super talented and will inspire you with their creativity on our blog throughout the month.  
We look forward to seeing you over at Avocado Arts! 

Here's what our 'Cup of the Week' winner will win..



Beautiful inspiration from
The Play Date Cafe Design Team.....

Practicing Creativity is the result of a dream, a supportive husband, and a fantastic book called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller. After a year of wishing and dreaming of designing stamps we made the plunge. We were determined to try, and the quote below helps remind us of our dream.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
Our Goal First we want to provide you with fantastic designs, made with top quality materials, and great service to boot! Secondly we want you to be inspired! We hope you'll find our products as well as our design team as fuel for your inspiration. 
Thank you to all of you who have encouraged and supported us!


This week's 'Cup of the Week' will enjoy...
A STAMP SET OF YOUR CHOICE!! 
 Our design team had a great time playing with stamp sets
