Welcome to a very bittersweet week here in The Cafe.
It is time to say farewell to four amazing designers
with this week's challenge.
These designers have been part of The Play Date Cafe team
for nearly two full years and really have become family.
We want to celebrate each of these ladies and share an
individual wish for each of them...
What can we say about Savvy?!!
Savannah started designing with our team in
March, 2010 at Challenge #21
and has been a part of our Senior Design Team
since Jan, 2011. She has been one of the
biggest ambassadors for our challenge and a
huge encourager within our team privately.
She inspired our players with everything from
cards to cupcakes...literally!
Savannah...as life brings you new opportunities within
your personal & creative life, we wish you all of the
blessings that God has to offer!
Kind-Hearted Jinny!
She joined The Cafe team in January, 2011
with Challenge #64. Her designs have been so
very inspirational to our players & it's been a
wonderful experience for our team to watch her grow
as she continues to be the feature in so many publications.
Jinny...there are so many wonderful opportunities that
have come knocking at your door and while you have
always given our challenge priority, we are so happy to
finally share you with more of the paper-crafting world
and can't wait to see what's next for you!
Colleen...What an Inspiration!
Col joined our team as our 3rd Private Blend Designer
in January, 2011 at Challenge #63 and became a permanent
member of our team in in August of that same year.
When she joined our Senior Design Team, she became our
'internal' team newswoman, sharing all of the shout outs
and accolades within our team as a way of encouraging
our team members during their creative journeys.
We were all especially moved when she shared her
personal challenge as her sweet daughter suffered
from bulimia & then shared it with the world.
Colleen...we know that you are making room for new
challenges within your personal life but know you'll never
be far away. We pray that the doors you need opened,
will open in abundance & that every good thing will be yours!
'Shabby AND Chic...Denise!
Denise became a part of our team in
August, 2011 at Challenge #93 and became
an inspiration to all of our players who enjoy the
'shabby-chic' design aesthetic.
She has always been an encouragement to our team.
Denise...as you continue on your creative journey
we want you to know how much we appreciate what
you've brought to our challenge and that your work is
truly a gift. Many blessings as you continue to
find your creative path.
It's time for a new challenge with the fantastic
suggested colors of . . .
