PDCC72 ♥ The Play Date Cafe ♥ Challenge #72













Well this week I was, as always, challenged by the Play Date's color choices ... but I powered through and ended up going the quantity over quality route! Lots of cards and two layouts, (really trying to make layouts before cards this year .... but I also was running a little low on birthday cards too) Anyhow; ALMOST two layouts ... I haven't finished the one yet but with 4 boys under foot this spring break I have to post now or never!

Another personal challenge for me this year is to use up stamp sets that I have had for over a year and haven't even opened! Terrible! So this week I opened up the CTMH set with the cakes and cupcakes and went to town. (And I even took a photo of the things I used since I am always so naughty at remembering what I used and writing that in for you lovely people!)

All very basic here this week, plain old paper, inks, stamps, and a blending pen. Colors: Smoothie, Sunset, and Outdoor Denim for inks and paper. (In the last, not yet complete, layout - I tried Pacifica for the blue ... I kind of wish I had chosen that color from the start but I forgot I had it and really interpreted the challenge color to be more of a darker navy blue ...) Thanks for looking! I'm off to have a shower ... four o'clock in the afternoon and I haven't even had a shower yet! These boys are keeping me BUSY! ♥
