Week 54: GOLD

It's time to shine!  You've been refining and polishing your CAS designing skills right along with us here at CASology for just over a year and we still love to visit your blogs each week to see what your creative minds have put together!  It's almost like going on a treasure hunt!  Whether you realize it or not, we're learning from you, our dear challenge participants, and love it when we find ourselves thinking, "Now why didn't I think of that?!"  Keep those CAS designs coming!

In honor of our one-year anniversary here at CASology, one random blog participant this week will receive a little prize package of goodies in the mail!  Just link up your clean and simple GOLD creation and you'll be eligible to win!
