The Play Date Cafe PDCC134

Welcome back to The Cafe!

We are so happy you stopped by and we hope you enjoy

creating with us this week.

We cannot TELL YOU ....

how difficult it was for our team to narrow down

our choices for winner & honorable mentions

this past week. You guys really used the patriotic colors

to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend and we are so

honored that you chose to spend some of your holiday

with us.

We just love our Color Story Coordinator,

Jaclyn Miller!

Check out the fabulous photos that accompany these colors.

So creative!

This week's suggested colors are:

Apricot...Canary...Latte...Rose

We also love our design team and they have created an

amazing variety of projects using this week's colors,

so we hope you are ready to create along with us.

Don't forget, we encourage to create any type of

projects you'd like using our colors as the main theme.

Cards ... layouts ... mixed media ...

digital art ... knitting ...

crochet ... baking ...

We'd love to have you play along!

This week, our Cup of the Week will win something

pretty fantastic from the Play Date Cafe prize vault!

Now for inspiration from

The Play Date Cafe PDCC133

It's another 'colorful' week here in The Cafe.

What a terrific 'splash' week we had with our

last challenge. We always know it's your favorite

because of the number of entries that come into our

gallery. Our designers pour over each one and put

in their votes for our 'Cup of the Week' and the

'splash' remains one of the most difficult to judge

because they are ALL FANTASTIC!

This week's colors are simply....

Baby Blue...Denim...Cherry

We are happy to welcome back this week's sponsor

This week, Mr Cricut Crazy is offering our

'Cup of the Week'...

We are excited to have the Mr. Cricut Crazy Design Team
participating in our challenge so make sure you stop by
The Mr. Cricut Crazy Blog!

We thank our sponsor for providing stamp sets
for each of our designers to use so...

Welcome back in to The Cafe!

How cool is this color story graphic??!!

Our Jaclyn Miller does such a fantastic job, doesn't she?!

we hope you'll leave her a little love when you visit this week.

We also love the suggested color names from Jax

and this week's are:

Raspberry...Harbor...Honey Mustard

This week we have a very special guest & sponsor with us here in The Cafe.

Meet Tanner Bell

"Tanner here! I'm so happy to be sponsoring
The Play Date Cafe Challenge..
I'll bet you never expected a 13 year old guy to be your sponsor this week! Here's a little about me...I started crafting with the Cricut in 2010, when I was in 5th Grade.

I ordered it from HSN after seeing cards that my friend's grandma made! It seemed like it took FOREVER to arrive. I wanted to know all there was to know about it, so I Googled 'Cricut' and watched YouTube videos and thought 'I can do that!'
So I started doing my own videos in March 2010! I am thrilled to say that to date, I have 601 Subscribers and 60,000+ Channel views.
I've worked SUPER hard! January 1st, 2011 was a Life changing day! Emma from My Creative Time asked ME to be on her FIRST Design TEAM! WOW. So, I had to design a Blog... I used a Blogger template. Once I got my feet wet, I asked Veronica from Vk Design Co to make it look AWESOME!

In late December 2010, I contacted Kathy from Peachy Keen Stamps to ask if she could make some dog stamps for me. Little did I know, she would be working with me to this day as my manufacturer.

I featured a segment on my blog while called "Wake up with Tanner". I did it five days a week, at 5am, EACH day before school :) I put TONS of effort into everything I do! Before I could do a 'real' stamp release, I knew I needed a team and I brought on some of my favorite people to help me and and Mr. Cricut Crazy was born! We do a new release EVERY month and it's all going great!

I'm grateful for all the help that has come my way because quite honestly, my mom doesn't stamp...she doesn't craft...but she sure does love me!
Come visit my blog Mr. Cricut Crazy...I'd love to meet you!"
