Play Date Cafe...You Make Me Smile

Hello there blogging friends! It's that time again, time for brand-y new, fresh color inspiration from the Play Date Cafe! Today we're using some beautiful, earthy tones and I found some old Stampin' Up! designer paper that fit perfectly with the colors that Jax has presented us this week. First, I'll show you my card:


Here are those gorgeous tones of Jax's color story:



I've paired up the SU! paper with some previously released Verve, Fabulous You, to be exact. I love the framed stamp that comes with this set, I think it coordinated well with the background paper. I added some crystal strips to the top and bottom and then made a fancy, elegant bow with some seam binding.

Now, to check out the design team's projects and the prize being offered, go to the Play Date Cafe's website for all the details.


The Fine Print:
Deadline for prizes is 11:59pm EST on Tuesday.
