The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC119

It's that time indeed!

COLOR SPLASH WEEK!!

If you are new to our Color Splash concept, it's easy.

Just use Black and White with a 'splash' of the week's

designated color which is......

HOT PINK

 Create anything you'd like...cards, layouts, mixed media,

baked goods, knitted/crocheted, painted

as long as it is 

BLACK...WHITE...and a SPLASH OF HOT PINK

The Cafe is happy to have back a wonderful sponsor and friend

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 18 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 winner will win.....

Not only did The Twinery provide our design team with
'Pink Sorbet' baker's twine
to showcase this week's SPLASH of COLOR....
but several of their designers are also joining in with their own brand

of inspiration...make sure you check them out HERE
