The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC27




We are so looking forward to sharing this week's
'color story' with you.  It just says Spring, doesn't it?!

We are extremely excited to welcome back to
The Cafe our guest designer for another week,
If you missed her last week, you can click here
and read all about her and her creative experiences.


Our senior designer, Mona Pendleton has chosen
this fabulous color inspiration for you to play
with this week and can we just give a BIG
shout out to her husband Scott for creating
the fabulous graphic for Mona's color photo.



Your design team host this week is Stephanie.

"When I first saw this week's color inspiration
photo, I knew immediately what I wanted to create,
which was a card for teacher appreciation week.
That isn't always the case for me, though.
I find color challenges, well...'very challenging'.
I used to avoid them, unless the colors were in
my comfort zone.  Now, I enjoy them because
they help me grow as a designer."


Here's what our other designers have done to inspire you.....


Ruby McGuire ~ Ruby 2 Shoes Design


Lisa Somerville ~ Splendiferous Creations


Sarah Anderson ~ The Art of Moodling


Suzanne Czosek ~ Suzz's Stamping Spot

 

Savannah O'Gwynn ~ Savannahland


Julie Ranae ~ Julie's Open Window
