The Play Date Cafe PDCC155



It's a brand new week here in The Cafe!

Many, MANY thanks to all of you who joined us for our
3rd Anniversary Celebration.  You made it a real party for sure!

Don't forget...we now announce our 
'Cup of the Week'
and Honorable Mentions
on Fridays, so simply scroll down!

Before we get to our current challenge,
we have another very bittersweet announcement to make.


This week we say goodbye to our sweet
Ruby came to us from the UK and inspired our players
each week, to think 'outside the box', use color
and have fun.
She is going on to pursue one of her career passions
as a life-coach and finds that she will have to make
sacrifices here in blogland to create the time she
needs to move forward with her career.

Ruby...we love you and will miss you dearly here
in The Cafe.  We wish you all the best life has to
offer and know that you will be specTACular
at all you continue to do!


This week's suggested colors are ...

Mint ... Gold ... Leather


We are so happy to welcome back



as this week's sponsor

At Technique Tuesday, we are committed to offering the most beautiful, high-quality, affordable clear stamps and paper crafting products. We are also committed to sharing the art of stamping and our enthusiasm for paper crafting through our website, blog, newsletters, and workshops. Whether you prefer a simple style or an embellished look, are a beginner or have been crafting for years, our products will help you create beautiful scrapbook pages, 
personalized handmade cards, unique gifts, and one-of-a-kind home décor items.


And someone is going to win ...


Guess who they brought with them this week?!


Oh yeah!
It's Paper Crafts Magazine 'Go-To Gal'
Teri Anderson!

"Hi! I’m Teri! I am a 30-something maker of all things paper related from out West! Cards, scrapbook pages, tags… you name it, I’m there. I make something nearly every single day. I’m a Go-to Gal for Paper Crafts magazine, and I’m on a number of design teams. I spent a good chunk of last year teaching at conventions around the country for Technique Tuesday. I was also lucky to teach for Paper Crafts magazine in the Caribbean as part of their paper crafting cruise last Fall. When I’m not making stuff, I’m going spending time with family, friends and two fluffy dogs. I am going to concerts, taking pictures and planning my next road trip.
I blog at terisplace.wordpress.com"

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!
