Celebrating 3 Years at The Play Date Cafe !



This sentiment says it all !

We are celebrating over at


Where has the time gone ? ? ?

Just three short years ago, my UK bestie
Sarah Anderson and I shared this challenge with the world
and we never looked back !
{by the way . . . she will be joining us on Monday, Oct 22nd}
There have been many, MANY changes since then
but the challenge remains the same.
To interpret the colors as YOU see them
and enter whatever type of project you'd like.

With celebration comes more changes beginning
with a whole new look !


We would love for you to take our brand new badge
and place it on your blog with a link to The Cafe.
During the next 5 days, our designers will be visiting blogs
watching for our badge.  Randomly, we will hand out prizes
when we see it.  Help us reach 2,000 followers and even
more prizes will be awarded !

Along with that, we have amazing sponsors who will be
sharing 15 prizes for our weekly winner & honorable mentions.
You'll find all these details and even MORE SURPRISES
over at The Cafe.


This week's colors are some of the boldest we've ever had !
I chose to take a very simple route putting them together using flowers
from Prima & a beautiful gem flourish from Zva Creative.
The sentiment is from FarmHouse Paper Company.


I hope you will make plans to join us for each of the next five days
as we celebrate.  We would love to have you *LIKE* us over
on Facebook and follow along on Twitter @ThePDCC

I want to say THANK YOU to all who have supported our challenge.
Whether you are a brand new, a long-time player
or just peek in for some inspiration . . .
It's all possible because of YOU !

'Plum' Good



It's time for another 'splash' of color over at


I love this photo and I love 'plum'


I cannot believe I traveled all the way to Christmas with this card,
but I ordered some new Gina K Designs stamps and couldn't
wait to play with them.  As soon as I saw the splash, I knew what
I wanted to do.  I used new paper from FarmHouse Paper Company
called 'Fair Skies' {ordered from StopandScrap.com} and the
shade was perfect.
The little bows are baker's twine from The Twinery and always
make a nice little embellishment.  I used Charcoal and Lilac.


I love CAS for Christmas !

This week, we welcome a brand new sponsor to The Cafe


and we welcome a brand new designer to our team !
So make sure you join us in The Cafe this week.

One more thing . . . 

In two weeks time, we will be celebrating our
THIRD ANNIVERSARY
at
and I am super excited about all the festivities.
I can't reveal anything now, but suffice to say, there will be
lots of great giveaways, five days of posts and some
terrific surprises.
If you are not yet a follower there, we encourage you to
become one.  We are aiming for 2,000 followers by then.
What a great milestone that would be!
Mark your calendar & spread the word!

Egg-Citing!



Hey hey everybody!

I am so glad to be back here at The Open Window.
I've been W.A.Y. under the weather for about a week
and have missed being creative, so it's perfect timing
for a brand new color challenge from



This week, we are sponsored by the great folks over at EAD Designs.
Our design team was able to play with collections from EAD
and I chose to use 'Just Chicken In'.
I was so happy to find this week's colors in the beautiful fall
paper from FarmHouse Paper Company purchased from
I cut 'eggs' using my Spellbinders Standard Oval dies
and it was all pretty simple.


Here is the fun set I used . . .



and here is some GREAT news . . .


So come check out all the fun designs from our team
