Play Date Cafe...Happy First Anniversary!

Happy sweet first anniversary to the Play Date Cafe! I'm so honored and excited to share their one year anniversary with everyone! And as a special surprise, Julie has invited some Play Date Cafe alumni to return and help us celebrate! We'll be seeing projects from Julie Campbell, Sandi Kelly, Stephanie Kraft and Mona Pendleton! I've been so lucky to be included in this wonderful celebration and Julie's color story this week is a beauty! Take a look at what we're working with this week:

I love these soft, delicate colors together, especially the pink and orange. These wonderful hues in combination with these fabulous stamps that we received from Unity helped my create this card:

 For my card, I used the tips that Dorcas had provided for using Prismacolor pencils. Takes a little practice but I love the look of a smooth, blended and shaded image. This card is pretty straight forward, just a few layers and some sewing.

Unity Stamp Company has generously agreed to sponsor our color challenge this week and they are offering a prize of a collection of 15 Itty Bitty stamp sets! The Unity DT will also be participating with our color challenge this week, but since there are many designers, the Cafe will be spotlighting a few each day up until Tuesday's deadline. You definitely need to visit The Cafe each day to see new creations by Unity designers!

There will also be a set of Five Chipboard Alphabets given away from Cosmo Cricket!
