The Play Date Cafe Challenge #53

Hi All!

Hope you are doing well on this Halloween evening! We don't get any trick or treaters out here in the country. But, I'm sure the little ones are having great fun in town going from house to house for their treats! It was a treat for me to use a new stamp I recently purchased. Also, I couldn't resist some new Prima flowers when I was shopping at Hobby Lobby. I just love the elegant look of this challenge of black, white and burgundy. Loads of fun and inspiration over at Play Date Cafe again this week! Take care and thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies:
Paper: Bazzill
Stamp: Stampabilities, sentiment
Stamp: Christmas bulb, Stampin' Up
Flower: Prima
Gems: Martha Stewart

Hi there!

I was happy dancin' when I saw my name on the Fab 4 for Play Date Cafe Challenge #51!!! I seriously did not think I'd do well with the challenge when I first saw the colors. I tend to go for the brighter colors, but a challenge it was and I was happy to stretch myself and learn with the process. So, I thank the Play Date Cafe Challenge designers for such inspiration with this great challenge and choosing me as one of the Fab 4...THANK YOU!!! You all take care and have a great day!!!

Hi All!

Just a quick post here for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #51. I seriously thought this one was a challenge when I first looked at the colors of beige, pale blue, and pale mint-ish green. I was thinking hmmmm...oh I don't know about this one. But, I received my new Basic Grey paper pad in the mail yesterday and the creative juices got a kick start!:-)) I'm happy with the end result. The colors are soft and pretty together! Thank you Play Date Cafe for this great challenge!!!
