Play Date Cafe...Tagged

Welcome to this week's edition of the Play Date Cafe! Jax has some rich color for us to work with and I love how she named them...Plum, Pear and Moldy Cheese. Sounds like the inside of my refrigerator! Ah, yeah...that's a discussion for another day. Anyway, I decided to make a tag with this color story...I was dismayed to find that I really don't own many purple accents and that shade of blue was really hard to find. I did, however, find this adorable K & Co. sticker that happened to be the perfect color (after some major exasperation, though...). Here's my card based on the color story pictured below:






This week's sponsor in the Cafe is Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! Check out the Cafe's website to see all the details on prize info and the design team's take on this week's story.



Ahh, today is a bittersweet day, one that marks the ending of two design teams for me...I've been with the Play Date Cafe for a year and a half and will miss it and the darling girls on the team! I know I said this already, but this week is technically the end of my term. I want to thank the ladies that I've worked with, what a talented bunch of women!
