The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC69

What a ridiculously exciting week 

here in The Cafe.

First, we thank all of you for helping
us reach yet another milestone here
as we welcomed our
1000th follower!
We love that this challenge inspires you enough
to share it with others and we thank you!!!

Now.....

We introduce our first  

twist 

of 2011....

We are so happy to have our first 

'Combined Grind' Challenge

with CASE Study Challenge

How does it work?

Well, you already know that here at The Cafe,

we focus strictly on color...

At CASE Study, they focus on the idea of:

Copy

And

Share

Everything  

So for this week, 

we are challenging you to

participate in both challenges!

Focus on COLOR here at The Cafe

and anything you want at CASE Study!

There are some pretty amazing prizes being offered at

both challenges AND a combined challenge prize too!

More about that shortly.

We have something wonderfully creative in common

with our 'Combined Grind' partners....

Andrea Ewen!

She serves on both design teams and offers

weekly inspiration for both challenges!

The CASE Study muse for this month is

Eva Dobilas from For the Love of Life

and her creation above is our color inspiration for this week.

We are really happy to welcome the creator of 

CASE Study Challenge and a regular player here in The Cafe
as our Guest Designer this week.

Iwona Palamountain

"Hello inklings! My name is Iwona Palamountain,

 known to most of you by my nickname Chupa. I have a passion

in all things paper and ink, and strongly believe that life

without a creative outlet of some sort is dull and incomplete.

I'm a proud Pole, living in Australia with my dear husband and the cutest little baby girl.

 I'm an owner of CASE Study blog, and you can also find me

on my personal blog, Random Acts Of Creativity.

I'm very happy to Guest Design this week, for one of my

favouritest places in the blogland :) Thanks for having me!"
