Week 86: ROOTS

 

We're going deep this week here at CASology!  Most people think of this word as a noun.  However, we're totally fine if you think of it some other way!  CASology is all about creativity and we think this word will have you digging deep into those wonderfully creative brains of yours to find some amazing ideas and we're just itching to get this challenge growing going.

**Please note:  We want you to know that in order to give participants more time to play along, we are extending the deadline for entries to Mondays at NOON (Central Time). Due to this extension, we will now be announcing our winners and honorable mentions on Tuesdays at 7:00 a.m. (Central Time), one hour before a new challenge begins. Challenges will begin at the same time as usual, 8:00 a.m. (Central Time) on Tuesdays.**

Now on with our regularly scheduled program...

One of our wonderful sponsors is returning this week!  STAMPlorations is back and is offering a fantastic prize, the MOM Subway Art Builders set (if the winner is a resident of the US, Canada, Finland, UK, Australia, or EU countries) OR a digital paper pack of the winner's choice (for all others)!  Be sure to check out their gallery on Pinterest for some amazing inspiration and then go take a look at their store!
