Play Date Cafe...Peace

We're getting into the Christmas Spirit over at the Play Date Cafe! We're working with some awesome colors this week and some awesomer stamps by Elusive Images! (I know, awesomer isn't a word, but it should be). Anyway, take a look at this color story presented by Julie Ranae:

The Design Team got to play with these gorgeous stamps from Elusive Images. This is what I've put together using these colors and wonderful stamps:



And a little close up shot of my "glitzed out" ornaments:



And the "now that I look at this picture up close I mismatched those" pinks:




                            This is the stamp set that I used to make my card:





Thank you to our wonderful sponsor this week, Elusive Images, for these fun, holiday inspired stamps. They were truly fun to work with and we all appreciate their generosity in not only providing a prize this week for the "Cup of the Week", but also each of  the "Fab 4" will each receive a prize as well!

It's now time for you to get those mojo juices flowing and make some gorgeousness! If you need a bit more inspiration, take a look at what the other PDC ladies have come up with:
