The Play Date Cafe PDCC88


What an amazing colors once again this week!
Our Color Story Coordinator, Jaclyn Miller,
has a real eye for inspiration and once again,
she has brought something unique to The Cafe.

This week's suggested colors are:
Red-ish/Orange...Yucky Yellow...Juniper

We are really happy to have one of our
long-time players as
this week's Guest Designer...


"Hi, I’m Debby, a UK based stay at home Mum to three great kids, and I’m beyond delighted to be the guest designer for 
The Play Date Café.
 Even as a small child I loved paper, card and bright envelopes. As an adult the stationary section always drew me for a cute notebook or two. So I suppose it was no surprise when I started making my own papercrafts about 6 years ago. I found that being creative was a great way to unwind after a hectic day with three young children. As I found my way into all things crafty I wondered at the inspiration on amazing blogs. Eventually last year I started my own blog, Lime Doodle. As my style evolved, I turned time and again to challenges to help kick start my creativity. The Play Date Café is one of my favourite places to stop for a coffee and a splash of inspiration. I hope you enjoy the fabulous colours this week as much as I have."




It's so super cool is it to have this week's sponsor in The Cafe!!


Before the days of Hollywood, the Los Angeles film industry was centered in Echo Park. In it’s heyday Echo Park was home to silent film legends, Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges.  Legends that have lasted the test of time.
As a brand new company formed in April of 2010, Echo Park Paper Co. offers a unique approach to style, form and format.  Each of our collections includes a themed set of 12 papers and 2 sticker sheets that coordinate beautifully together.  With bright, happy colors and easy-to-use designs, these collections offer simple sophistication that will satisfy both the novice and the expert crafter alike.
Scrapbooks, like silent films, tell stories through pictures and written words, to be cherished and passed down through generations.  It is our goal to supply you with everything you need to create timeless masterpieces of your own.
