The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC57



We wish all of our US players and visitors a
Very Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so glad you are here!
This past challenge, we celebrated
'Player Appreciation Week'
with three wonderful sponsors.
If you are new to The Cafe, we hope you will
become a follower and even better yet, a player!
We have loads of fun around here!

Before we get to this week's challenge, we have a
Design Team Call Update

As mentioned a couple weeks ago, we had close
to 120 submissions and it's taking us a little bit longer
to get through them all.  As you know, our senior DT
span from the US to the UK, so with time differences, etc
we are taking our time to make sure we really give every
consideration to each applicant...so hang in with us.
We hope to be in touch with each one in the next week or so.

Which brings us to our next bit of news to share....
One of the reasons we issued a DT call was because we
knew some of our girls would be moving on to the new
creative adventures.  Tonight, sadly....we say goodbye to
two amazing designers who have been with us for the
past nine months....
Lisa Somerville 
and 
Suzanne Czosek
These girls have been such a valuable inspiration to
all of our players and will be so missed.  Along with
their wonderful design skills, they have both been
instrumental in bringing new players and sponsors
to The Cafe.  We wish them all the best as they
continue on their creative journey and know they'll
never be too far away.

This week's challenge, which is being hosted

"I love the way old pegs go all browny-grey when
they are weathered and this week's color photo was
a perfect representation of that"


We are happy to welcome another fabby new
sponsor all the way from the UK....

Stamp Attack Art Stamps
has been designing and manufacturing stamps for six years. 
They focus on 'themed' plates and use unusual images
from their own private collection of ephemera
and photographs.
Stamp Attack Art Stamps 
is offering this week's winner....
