The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC91

Yep!  It's that time again!

Everyone love a splash of color and

you

get to choose which one!

Remember...
BLACK AND WHITE
with just one color 
of your choice

and just a splash!

This week, we say goodbye to 

Fiona Schultz
our Aussie designer who

has brought her own unique design work to The Cafe.

As much as we are sad to see her move on, we also know

that she has many family things she is looking forward to

as it is a new school term in Australia.
She has been such an inspiration to her fellow
designers and to our players and we thank her
so much for the time and talents she gave here.

We know she will be back to visit often and we'll continue

to enjoy her creative journey through her blog.

Here is Fee's splash of color in red....

This week, our 'Color Splash' Challenge is sponsored by

The Twinery.

Our twine is made from 100% cotton, it's eco-friendly and made in the USA. Whether you're gift wrapping, crafting or tying up baked goods to give to a friend, our baker's twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic look to any project at hand! Our baker's twine comes in 11 delicious colors and is uniquely twisted against a bright white hue, creating an eye-popping burst of color and a creative embellishment! Our twine has lots of color which lends to a fun, candy-striped look.

This week's Cup of the Week will win 

The Original Twine Sampler Pack
15 yards of 8 yummy colors!
Retail Value $14.95

Our Designers always enjoy playing

with baker's twine provided by The Twinery

and each have chosen their 'splash' by

using one color from their selection.

this week's Guest Designer....

Kendra Weitstock

"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 !
