Hello, friends:}


Thanks to all of you who played along with us for The Play Date Cafe #43 challenge! I cannot believe all the creations---you INSPIRE me!! 

This week's challenge is super fun. We have a returning Guest Designer--Elise Durenberger from MAMACOW Creations...LOVE it! She is super sweet and uber talented! Our sponsor for this week is Memory Box! Gotta love these stamps! Be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for more deets on the challenge deadlines and prize!!

This week's challenge was brought to you by Sarah--she calls it the Horribilus Color challenge. The colors we are featuring are navy, mustard, and hot pink.  YES, they really do go together nicely! While your creating with this weeks colors we'd love you to think about what colors you think don't go together, feel free to leave these colors as comments here on my blog, but remember to use Navy, Hot Pink and Mustard when you link in at the PDCC.


For my card, I wanted something simple but stylish. I was inspired by one of Jessica Witty's 10 minute ribbon card....this was after 2 hours of trying something fancy elegant (which is not my style--I'm more fun/cute). I wanted to add fabric in the mix too--so that ribbon became a fabric sash. I wrapped it around the card front and pleated it, then top stitched. FUN! These colors really do go well together!!

Don't fret if you are not sure what you could make with these colors--check out the other PDCC DT members' blogs--THEY will def. inspire you today! These projects match the challenge colors perfectly!!

Hello, friends;} 

It's another challenge day over at The Play Date Cafe!! We have a fabulous Guest Designer with us this week:: Elise Durenberger!!! WOW--she has a super creative blog MAMACOW Creations! Love it--and I love that she is sharing her wonderful talent with the PDCC group:} Our sponsor this week is Memory Box!! Just love those stamps! 

This week's color story is super fun--green, tan, and beige. When I first saw this photo, I thought there were a whole bunch of tents in a row!! **NOTE:: I should probably tell you that I saw this without my contacts in! Once I put them in, I instantly saw there were camels in the pic!! And then I saw the color story--I knew I had to make something with camping. So I made this tag--LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I used my Unity Naturally You set for the graph/lined background and tree. I also used Unity's August 09 KOTM for the camper. I paper pieced each of them and made the camper 3D with foam dots. I also used glossy accents on the leaves and letters. I LOOOOOOOOOVE it! I was nervous at first--because I wasn't sure what I would put in the background or how it would turn out--but I LOVE it! I wish I would have made it two weeks earlier for a submission call! I wish you could see it in person! SO cute:}

That's it for me today...but don't worry! Go visit all these wonderful PDCC DTs!! They have some amazing and beautiful projects/cards to share today!! It amazes me all the creations they make--so different and so beautiful each week:}
