Sweet Stamps - Play Date Cafe #113


Welcome to a New Year with the Play Date Cafe!  We have some beautiful color stories coming your way so plan to play along with us each and every week.  For our first challenge of 2012, we have a fresh color palette:

Juniper, Mint, & Vanilla

Our team had the privilege to work with the Sweet Stamp Shop this week.  I used "Scootin' By" and it has the cutest whimsical images for birthdays and celebrations... and a Vespa.  (click here to see a scooter gift tag)  I chose to just use the balloons and a couple of fun sentiments... something simple to get going after the holidays.  (Please tell me I'm not the only one who has to ease back in to crafting after a vacation... seriously, where does the mojo go?)


I also want all of my talented crafty friends to know that Sweet Stamp Shop is currently holding a Design Team call.  If you think you'd be a great fit for their team you can read all the details HERE.

We hope you will join us in the Cafe this week... can't wait to see what you create!

Stamps: Scootin' By from Sweet Stamp Shop; Cardstock: PTI Kraft; Patterned Paper: October Afternoon; Tools: PTI Doily Detail dies, In the Meadow dies, Banner Topper dies; Sassy Somethings: PTI Aqua Mist twill & button

Denise, this is so sweet! I really like your style. :) And no, you're not the only one who had trouble kick-starting the mojo after Christmas. I don't know if I'm 'there' yet, even!
