It's all about the books this week with children heading back to school! Gone are the lazy days of summer reading. In their place are stacks of books filled with important information that prompts kids to ask, "When am I ever going to use this?!" Go ahead and admit it. You asked that very same question at some point in your youth, right?!
Maybe you'd rather not think about books in that sense. Maybe you'd rather choose a favorite book from childhood. Maybe your thoughts will take you completely away from the literal meaning! We are looking forward to seeing how each of you interpret this week's cue word!
First, though, let's see what the design team and this week's guest designer came up with!
Let your sentiment take center stage by creating a simple frame!
Layering die cuts is a great way to add dimension to a CAS card

When colouring on a one layer card remember to use extra thick cardstock that won't show ink bleed on the inside.

Don't be afraid to use stickers on your CAS card if you don't have the right stamp!
Placing your images within one quarter of a card's space is a good
guideline to keep it CAS!

Why not break out of the card groove and go with a bookmark?

Use classic colors to dress up what feels like a plain design!
