The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC48



It is time for another challenge here in The Cafe.

Our design team was simply blown away by all of
the fabulous creations that were hanging in the
gallery during our last challenge.  Amazing!!!

Senior Designer Julie Ranae is this week's host...

"Would I put my kitchen together using these colors?
Probably not, but I totally admire the people who do.
That's why I chose this photo for the week.
I hope it inspires you to get out of your
'comfort zone'
and go for something a little different.
Be bold...you decide!
For instance, am I going to use
deep purple or dark blue?
Silver or gray?
I am convinced more than ever that there are
no bad color combinations...you just have to
'think outside the proverbial box'!"


How about another new sponsor for this week's challenge?
They provided the 'world's best design team'
a choice of any of their stamps to play with.  We love 'em!
 
Crafty Individuals comes to us all the way from the UK
and is an exciting venture into the creative world of arts and crafts for business partners Jean Hardy and Malcolm Noble, 
who both come from an arts-based background.
Their online store features a range of own designed' Rubber Stamps
along with unique Image Acetates. They are available for purchase 
in their online store and in many retail outlets.
