The Play Date Cafe PDCC133

It's another 'colorful' week here in The Cafe.

What a terrific 'splash' week we had with our

last challenge.  We always know it's your favorite

because of the number of entries that come into our

gallery.  Our designers pour over each one and put

in their votes for our 'Cup of the Week' and the

'splash' remains one of the most difficult to judge

because they are ALL FANTASTIC!

This week's colors are simply....

Baby Blue...Denim...Cherry

We are happy to welcome back this week's sponsor

This week, Mr Cricut Crazy is offering our 

'Cup of the Week'...

We are excited to have the Mr. Cricut Crazy Design Team
participating in our challenge so make sure you stop by
The Mr. Cricut Crazy Blog!

We thank our sponsor for providing stamp sets
for each of our designers to use so...

I have been a paper craftier for six years but creating 

has always been a part of my life.

I was raised by my grandmother who taught me the love of creating. Inspired by her 1930's scrapbooks

I love all things vintage and old. When I am at home you can find me in my studio.I love to create very special layouts, cards and altered items my mini pieces of art.

I have been lucky to have work with major paper craft companies including Spellbinders Paper Arts,Best Creations, Inc, Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker to name a few and in magazines, on TV (Local TV segments, Creative Memories TV Show, Terri O Show, QVC, Home Shopping Network US and Canada and was published in a book last year as well as work in catalogues and at the Craft and Hobby Association Show for the last six shows. For the past two years I have been a VIP speaker at Midland Memory Expo speaking along side Cardmaker magazines Editor Tanja Fox, Creating Keepsakes Creative Editor, Megan Hoeppner and NikkiSivlis, Scrapbook Paper Company owner just to name a few.

I currently am the Design Team and Social Media Coordinator for Want2Scrap and a Spellblogger for Spellbinders Paper Arts

Get ready for a beautiful week once again here in The Cafe

as we present to you an amazing color story

for your consideration.

The suggested colors are....

Seaweed...Algae...Goldfish...Black

We know that black is a standard neutral that is always acceptable,

but we thought we would include it in this description

hoping black might be used more as 

an 'accent' color in small doses.
