Along with Mona's fabulous color selection above,
we were also inspired to use a digital-stamp image
designed by Kristen, especially for The Play Date Cafe.
You will know these images by their fun 'Cafe' theme.
A few of our designers created cards with general rubber
stamps to give you a variety of ideas using this week's colors.
Now...meet Lisa Somerville
Your host for this week's challenge.
"I started stamping about 8 years ago and like many people
"I started stamping about 8 years ago and like many people
I was introduced through a 'home party'. So I bought a few
things just to help out my friend who was the hostess.
I bought an Iris Cart to store my stamping supplies,
thinking I'd have enough room.
Little by little, one stamp led to two, then three,
you get the idea. I outgrew my Iris Cart rather quickly.
I now have a wonderful studio where I create.
Barely a day goes by where you don't find me
stamping late into the night!
Stamping has brought out my creativity and
brought some wonderful friendships into my life."
