Play Date Cafe 77 - The Greeting Farm

This week's Play Date Cafe colors are brought to us by Ruby 2 Shoes.  I like the inspiration pix she pulled together:  the colors can be both modern and classic at the same time.  

The generous folks at The Greeting Farm (our sponsor this week) blessed everyone on our Design Team with a randomly chosen stamp.  I received Cheeky Glamour, this little lady you see here.  She reminds me of Marilyn Monroe, so I tried coloring her hair platinum blonde.  It turned out a little too gray, I think.  I find people images very difficult to color.

I've never made a pocket card before....this is my first!  It was easy, thanks to a die-cut I had from old Stampin' Up! stashes. 

This is the die cut.  All I had to do was secure it at the scored lines with Scor-Tape, which is my fave strong adhesive.

The inside of the pocket holds a tag that could be a bookmark, or a place to write your message.

I got my Martha Stewart Deco Fan Punch-Around-The-Page punch set to work beautifully, because I finally followed the directions that came with it.  :)  The piece measured 3.25" x 5" to start. 

My wonderful teammates have an impressive array of creations for you this week:

Ruby -- Tracey -- Jaclyn -- Jinny -- Julie -- Michele --

Fiona -- Libby -- Andrea -- Savannah
and our special Guest Designer, Jessica Diedrich!

The Cup of the Week winner will receive a $25 gift certificate from The Greeting Farm - a generous gift, indeed!

I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but thank you again for your prayers and positive vibes for my family.  We are going through an intensive therapy program this week, and it is taking a lot out of me and my husband but especially our 12 year old.  Wow.  We're dealing with such heavy stuff.  I know we're going to get through it, but this is such a difficult passage.
