Week 93: ELECTRIC

Time to jump start your creative minds again this week with a word that's full of life!  You have really been impressing us with all your CAS designs lately and we're excited to begin a new challenge week so we can see even more of your clever creations!  Before we send you off to create, however, we should mention that our wonderful sponsor, Cathy Parlitsis (Stamps & Scrapbooks), is back this week!

She is offering a generous $25.00 Gift Certificate prize to the Online Store (Stampin’ Up! Product) to this week's winner!  Please note: This gift certificate is only for US Customers, so international prize winners will be offered a seat in the Occasions Online PC Class.

Let's go ahead and see what the design team and this week's guest designer created to help spark your creativity!
