The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC103

What a fabulous week has just gone by and

now we are just one week away from our

TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

A very special thank you to all who joined

with the the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge

last week's challenge.

This week, Jax has chosen another beautiful

color story to inspire you...

The suggested colors are :

Rust...Storm...Deep Sea

We are also happy to welcome another

brand new sponsor to The Cafe...

Lori McCroskey started Clear Dollar Stamps in the corner of her basement in October of 2004. Originally, all Clear Dollar Stamps were designed by Lori. As time went on, Clear Dollar Stamps attracted the talents of Laurie Wilson, Vicki Conquest, Kim Teasdale, and Shawne Arnold. Lori is constantly watching for new talent to add to the variety of styles Clear Dollar Stamps carries.
Clear Dollar Stamps does not have expensive or fancy packaging in an effort to keep prices low and to be as green as possible. We want EVERY stay at home mom to be able to afford stamps if she wants them! We want to be a one stop shop! Clear Dollar Stamps carries a variety of products including: Spellbinder's dies, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Flower Soft, Zutter Bind-It-All products, Basic Grey, Eyelet Outlet embellishments, Versamark, Ancient Page ink pads and refills, and much, much more!
Clear Dollar Stamps introduces NEW PRODUCT EVERY MONTH! Check back on the 1st of every month to see what is new!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC102

October is finally here!
It's the month that we begin to think about all facets
of the season including the
'spooky' colors of Halloween.

We thought we would get your creative juices flowing

with this terrific color story chosen by Jaclyn.

We hope you have a lot of fun with these colors!

Her suggested color palette is:

Slime Green.....Frightful Fuschia...

Putrid Purple...Black as Night

We are happy to have back in The Cafe

as this week's sponsor.

"STAMPOTIQUE Fine Art Stamps began June 1, 1996, in Phoenix, Arizona, out of the love for rubber stamping and paper crafting. We began as a fine art rubber stamp store and in January 2000, began manufacturing our own rubber stamps. We now ship all over the world, although remaining a ‘mom and pop’ business so that we can still offer full attention to each and every order.

On November 17, 2007, the retail store closed its doors in order to allow us to concentrate on our growing website, both retail and wholesale.

We hope you will find our site inspirational and continue to revisit at your leisure. Our intention is to continuously update with new images, new samples and all the latest and greatest ‘must haves’ of the industry. Feel free to send us your creations and we will post them on the website for the whole world to enjoy."

This week's Cup of the Week Winner

will receive...

A Special Collection of Stamps Valued at $30

We thank Stampotique VERY MUCH

for providing this week's images to our designers

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC82

When you look at this color story,

what do you think about creating?

Well we can't wait to see it!

These colors are so fresh and lovely and we know that

our gallery this week is going to be filled with stunning creations!

Here's something you may not know...

Each week, as our designers visit the blogs of each entry

they keep a list of their favorite creations and

that is how our winners & honorable mentions are chosen.

The votes are tallied up, so you have a great opportunity

to be spotlighted with us...it's not one vote per designer.

We do not do random draws...we believe that those who

take the time to enter deserve the time to be considered.

This week's color story is provided by

Senior Designer Ruby 2 Shoes

and here is what she brings to inspire you....

I know each week we say how super excited we are

when it comes to each of our guest designers and

this week, we are saying it again!

Many of you will know her from her blog and from

a very popular challenge that has since been retired.

Please welcome this week's Guest Designer...

Laura Davis

"I am a wife and mother to a teenage daughter. I love to cook, run, and inspire.

Most of all I love to be inspired. Creating is my passion."

This week's sponsor is no stranger to The Cafe and
we hope you will stop by their blog to see beautiful
work from a few of their designers.....
