The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC107

Oh yeah!!  It's everyone's favorite challenge!!

It's 'Color Splash' Week here in The Cafe.

 How does it work?

Create anything you'd like using...

Black & white with a 

SPLASH OF ORANGE!!!

 We are really happy to welcome this week's sponsor

The Scrapping Cottage was founded in January 2002 by Joanne Stone.  Since then, almost 10 years of providing products to crafters, the business has grown and expanded many times over.  Focused on selling metal dies for crafters, The Scrapping Cottage sold QuicKutz, Sizzix, Boss Kut, Go Create, Spellbinders and many other brands. Then a new thing changed the business – the creation of CottageCutz.

CottageCutz brand of metal dies were created by Joanne in late 2008.  By the end of 2009, there were over 230 CottageCutz designs.  And by 2011, over 800 CottageCutz designs have been created.  This also led to partnering with companies such as Peachy Keen Stamps and My Little Shoebox.  CottageCutz® became a registered trademark in 2010.

Today, CottageCutz brand of metal dies are sold around the globe.  And customers can always buy them directly at www.scrappingcottage.com or at www.cottagecutz.com

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC106

 What a creative week!
You never cease to amaze us when you share your
beautiful interpretations in our gallery and this
week made it very difficult for our designers
to narrow down our winner & honorable mentions.

Thank you so much for bringing so much
beauty to The Cafe each week.

You seem to be really enjoying the beautiful subtle

shades we've bee sharing, so here is another color story

to whet your creative appetite.

Jax's suggested colors for this week are: 

Gray...Yellow...Pink

It has been truly amazing to see all of the wonderful

entries you bring to our gallery each week.

We also want to take a moment to welcome so many

brand new players 

who have made their way here to The Cafe.

We thank you for supporting our challenge and most

of all, our designers and sponsors each week.

This week's joining us in The Cafe is...

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 win

So let's get right to it!
