The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC79



Welcome back to The Play Date Cafe!
Hope you are enjoying your time with us.
It's so exciting to see all the new players and followers
that come along each week.

Your color host this week is one of our

Sarah has been burning the candle at both ends with
a new job and wonderful creative opportunities
right in her own home town.
So she will be sharing her project with us a little later.
 
We are so very happy to introduce this week's
Guest Designer to The Cafe....


"I am a stay-at-home mom to three wonderful kids and have been married to my high school sweetheart for 8 years.  I started making cards while I was in college and have been hooked ever since.  I have been a member of the Hero Arts Design Team for the past two years and I feel so lucky to work with such a talented and sweet group of girls. 
I love to create all types of crafts...home decor, kids crafts, cards and most recently I'm learning to sew.  A few of my other loves are to shopping, chocolate, organizing, graphic design, volleyball and baking.  If I can get my kids to nap at the same time during the day and have a little crafty time to myself I am a happy girl."


Our designers love to work with the stamps
and products that our most generous sponsors
provide and this week is no exception.


"Hero Arts is a family-owned business, a green business
and our wood, Cling & POLYclear stamps are proudly
made right here in the USA!
(you can learn more HERE).
We are dedicated to our customers, passionate about
our community and grateful to be a part of the
wonderful & thriving craft of stamping.
to join the community and find inspiration every day!

This week's 'Cup of the Week' will win....

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC78



It's time to embrace Spring!
How about these fabby colors, huh?!
Cath Kidston is recognized the world over and we
thought it would be fun to put these signature colors
into play for this week's challenge.

Your host this week, Senior Designer Julie Ranae

"Yep...whenever I would see Cath Kidston dry goods
in my travels, I would continually think of what a great
color story it would make for our challenge.
I think the colors are Spring-like and really great
layering colors...Enjoy!!!"


It's always so fun to have a new
Guest Designer
in The Cafe and this week
is no exception!
