play date cafe challenge #36


Aren't these colours so pretty?  I just love that Julie and I have different favourite colours, it gives such a nice balance in the cafe :)

There's a little mini challenge within the challenge going on so if you are a fan of Tim's bird cage die cut, head on over to the other girl's blogs.  They have some GoRGeouS inspiration going on there!


[by the way UK friends, Lisa has an article in this month's Craft Stamper :)]


 As soon as I saw the colours though, it made me think about how red and pink just didn't go together 10 years ago; it's definitely a new, acceptable colour combo.  So I worked on a journal page.


I love red shoes, and would have loved a little tiny pair of 'mary janes' for Sophie when she was little.


The trouble was, ten years ago, when Sophie was three, she adored wearing pink.  And back then, you just didn't put red shoes with a pink dress!  How times change...



I'm planning on more little story pages like this which I'd like to bind into a book, inspired by Roben-Marie Smith's graffiti book that she did on a Dina Wakeley workshop.

Lots to see over at the cafe today.  We've had a makeover, have new badges, a guest designer, and see what Sav made otherwise she's going to feel left out! :)
