Week 203: CONGRATULATIONS


We'd like to congratulate those who played along last week!  There were so many perfectly clean & simple designs in the gallery!  Way to go!  This week's cue word should leave plenty of room for a wide variety of brainstorming ideas!  Life is so full of events that deserve a congrats!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

  1. One main image
  2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
  3. Limited layers & embellishments
  4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)


STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this week's winner their choice of either a $10 gift certificate to the online store OR 2 ARTplorations stencils!  Have you seen their newest release?!  Go take a look and then refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!

Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!

Stamping your sentiment over your main image can help preserve white space.
