The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC51


We are one week away from our
first anniversary challenge
and you are not going to want to miss it!
We have a super surprise sponsor and
their design team
who will be inspiring you for an entire week.
Each day, surprise guests and surprise posts!
We are also honored to have the 
return of the original PDCC Design Team.
so make sure you mark your calendar for
October 21st-26th.

The Play Date Cafe is still accepting
submission for our current
Design Team Call.
For all the details, simply click here.

Your color host for this week's challenge is
Senior Designer, Sarah Anderson.

"Again it was another one where I just loved the photo, but I
 love leaves that are becoming skeleton leaves but aren't quite
there yet and still retains some colour.  This leaf has such an unusual 
hint of a greenish colour remaining, 'ish' being a key part of
the colour description this week!  Brown and blue are one of my favourite 
colour combos so this beige and soft blue are perfect for me."
It's great to welcome back

 Creative Cuts & More
as this week's sponsor.

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC46



It's 'Color Splash' time once again.
This week's 'color splash' is a bit
different than the others we've done
in that you will have a
choice of 3 different colors
to go with the base of

Black & White with.....

Pink, Copper or Gold.

Senior Designer Julie Ranae is your color host
once again....
"As soon as I saw this photo, I knew it had to be our next 
'color splash challenge'.
Each time we do this type of challenge, there is a bit
of confusion on how it actually works.  This week we are
throwing in a choice of colors, so let me clear up any confusion.
'Color Splash' actually means 
'black & white 
with a touch of color'.  
What we ask of our color splash challenges
is that you literally stick to 'black & white with the
required splash of color' and this week, it's
pink, copper or gold"

Julie Ranae ~ Julie's Open Window
