At the Play Date Cafe today, we have a super-happy, bright combo of colors to play with!
Don't those colors remind you of summer?
I made a birthday card that helped use up some of my scraps.
All of the designer papers are from Stampin' Up!, and are retired. There are so many neat ones in the $1.00 Scrap Bags I get from my demo.
I lined up some scraps in various widths across the bottom of the card, then stacked two borders punched with Martha Stewart's Double Scallop border. A ribbon scrap tops them.
The punched frame is made with Martha's String Lace Punch Around the Page set (bought for 9.99 after Christmas!). I paper-pieced the stack of presents from SU's Happy Moments and added a tiny bird from a new Sale-a-Bration set called Sweet Summer.
We have a Guest Designer this week at the Play Date Cafe: Maria Gurnsey! Click on over to check out her creative goodies on her blog, Gingham and Polka Dots.
Our Design Team has brewed up some neat projects to share with you, so be sure to check them out, too:
Tracey -- Jaclyn -- Savannah -- Julie -- Michele -- Fiona -- Andrea -- Sarah -- Jinny -- Ruby -- Libby -- and me, Colleen!
The awesome prize package, worth $30, is sponsored by Maria Gurnsey.
Hope to see your work hanging in the gallery at the Cafe!
