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"
 

The Play Date Cafe Design Team had a chance to
play with the terrific stamps from Technique Tuesday
this week and what a great line-up of inspiration!

So here is the inspiration

The Play Date Cafe PDCC150



Hello and welcome to our weekly color challenge here at
The Play Date Cafe.

Before we get started, we want to share some bittersweet
news with you.
Design Team Member Angi Barrs is leaving us for now as
she take a break from her paper crafting journey to
take care of her health.
You can read her  
final blog post here.
We wish her nothing but the best and want her to know
our thoughts are with her.


This week, our suggested colors are:

Flamingo ... Honey ... Coffee

We are happy to welcome a new sponsor here in The Cafe


We're a small company from Utah that specializes in clear photopolymer stamps that are made right here in the USA! These stamps are fun, whimsy, and sometimes a little quirky. We try to keep them trendy. The sentiments will always put a smile on your face. We began in January 2012 with the release of four stamp sets and are now up to 38 sets and growing. 
 We at The Alley Way bring you one of a kind stamp. All of our stamps are hand created with you in mind; even our sentiments are made to go perfectly with each set. One of our favorite things to do is pick out PUNNY sentiments and the perfect stamp name. 
We hope our designs here at The Alley Way will inspire a little creativity in everyone. From the oldest to the youngest, we hope it brings out the fun in crafting. We can't wait to see The Alley Way Stamps in your next project!

Check out this fabulous prize to our Cup of the Week



Our Design Team received stamps from
TAWS and have an amazing variety of
projects to share using these stamps
