Play Date Cafe Challenge #45

It's Julie's turn this week to select the colors at the PDCC this week.  Look at the picture she selected this time, it looks like a barrel of fun. (Sorry I couldn't resist) Now I am thinking of the song "Roll out the Barrel" and of the Polka. :)


Love the colors. I know my red photographed a lot lighter than it is in real life. :)

I created two different cards to share. The first one is a mini card. It measures around 4" x 4". I was playing with this lovely background stamp from Hero Arts and liked how this little card came out. It will be a perfect card to house a gift card for one of the nieces. :)
 
The second card was created just for fun with a hen and her little chicks.


The stamps are from a variety of different companies and a few that I had never used. So I was very happy to pull them out and ink them up!

We have a fab guest designer this week... Sankari Wegman you can find her blog here: Sankari's Sunshine Corner.
As usual our Design Team has some great ideas that they have brewed up too!  We are also welcoming Andrea Ewen to our team. Welcome Andrea!
