The Play Date Cafe Challenge #79

I'm so excited about this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge - my favorite company, Hero Arts, is our sponsor!! YAY!! So of course I used some Hero goodness on my card:


I thought the pattern on Big Cup sort of resembled the design on our inspiration piece:


The entire cup is coated with Glossy Accents for added shine & dimension IRL. Love that stuff!

We also have a wonderful guest designer this week - the sweet and fabulous Kelly Rasmussen from the Hero Arts design team! YAY! I love everything she creates, so I can't wait to see how she used this week's colors!

I also can't wait to see what my fellow PDCC teammates came up with using their Hero Arts stamps!

Julie Ranae * Sarah Anderson * Savannah O'Gwynn * Ruby 2 Shoes * Andrew Ewen * Fiona Shultz * Jaclyn Miller * Jinny Newlin * Michele Gross * Tracey Kuzniak * Colleen Dietrich

There's a great prize up for grabs for this week's winner - a $25 Hero Arts shopping spree! Fun!


I cannot wait to see what YOU will create! Check out the challenge at the Play Date Cafe site!

I made this card during a fun afternoon of stamping with friends at Archivers! Lucky me, I got to hang out with Lydia, Dana and Kim. Loved every minute of it!

Me and my Lydia:


My fabulous new friend Kim and sweet, hilarious Dana:

Thanks Dana for sharing your photos! And thanks friends for a fun stampy day!

Happy Stamping!

    Your card caught my eye this week, especially because I thought those stripes on the cup were a perfect match to the photo! I love that sentiment too. LOL that you brought your sewing machine to Archivers - now that's dedication!

    So much fun! LOVE that you brought your sewing machine to Archivers! That's truly the hardest part about going to crops for me. My sewing machine is a bit big to come along :(. Your card is fantastic, too! LOVE how you've added dimension to your cup with Glossy Accents! It really works!

    This is a sweet card Libby! I love your sewing and the gingham! This is so lovely, it kind of has a '70's look!

    What great photos to share! I have been known to bring quite a lot to Archivers with me, especially as it is a 90 mile one-way drive!
    Great card and of course, a wonderful sponsor!

    What an adorable card, Libby! A wonderful mix of papers (in the perfect colors), fabulous stitching and the cutest stamps! Love the design, too!

    I'm so jealous that you got to craft with Lydia...she has such a fabulous sense of humor, I'll bet you guys laughed until you cried!
