So {Very} Original


Welcome to another colorful week here in The Cafe!

Before we move on to the suggested colors for this week,
we have a fond farewell to share.

We have been blessed to have  
Ashley Bores as our Private Blend Designer 
since the first of 2013.
Her unique style of from paper crafts to crochet
and beauty in between has been such an inspiration
to our players, introducing our challenge to many new folks.
Ashley's last PBD entry is this week and we wish her
all the best as she looks forward to some pretty fabulous
things in her creative future.

We hope you will take a moment to wish her well
and thank her for the creativity she has shared with us.
She knows the door is always open!

This week's suggested colors are...

Grass ... Rose Petal ... Hibiscus


We are always happy to see
this week's sponsor 
 

Our twine is made from 100% cotton (and some of our twine is twisted with gorgeous metallic string!) and made in the USA. Whether you're gift wrapping, crafting or tying up baked goods to give to a friend, our baker's twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic look to any project at hand! Our baker's twine comes in an assorted array of delicious colors and is uniquely twisted against a bright white hue, creating an eye-popping burst of color and a creative embellishment! Our twine has lots of color which lends to a fun, candy-striped look.

We recently used a fun color combo from The Twinery
and are happy that those same colors are the prize
package for this week's  
'Cup of the Week'



Now for inspiration from

Lightning Hot {in} The Play Date Cafe



Welcome to another specTACular color challenge
here in The Play Date Cafe!


UPDATE ON OUR 
CUP OF THE WEEK
&

HONORABLE MENTIONS

We want to thank you for your patience over the past several
weeks as we've been working 'behind' on posting the
list of our challenge winners/honorable mentions.
Many of the designers on our team have had
challenging personal journeys
over the past couple months which has made it
difficult to keep everything on time.

You will find the Cup of the Week & Fab 4
for challenge #174 HERE
We will have the rest of our challenges up to date
by Thursday afternoon, April 18th, and will post them
on our home page at that time.

We appreciate your continued support of our challenge
and look forward to going into the summer with
lots of wonderful color combos!


This week's suggested colors are...

Hot Pink...Shadow...Lightning Yellow


We are so happy to welcome back


CAS-ual Fridays Stamps are based on my love for Clean And Simple design, but will delight any stamper's style.  They are made of the finest clear photopolymer available, and proudly made in America.
New designs debut nearly every month. Please be sure to stop by to see the 3 fantastic new sets that just released this week!
Whether you are a CAS enthusiast, or lover of all things layer-licious, you will love getting inky with them.  I truly had a blast designing these stamps, and I just can't wait to see what you'll create with them!



Our 'Cup of the Week' will win ...

 


Our designers had a chance to 'inky' with these fun stamps
and we thank CAS-ual Fridays for providing them.


Now for inspiration from
our Design Team...
