It's time for a new cue word and we're pretty sure this week's gallery is going to support our CAS design addiction! On a more serious note, however, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we'd like to send out a little love and support to those whose lives have been touched by this disease is some way!
As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- 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!)
We're introducing a brand new sponsor again this week! Please welcome A Jillian Vance Design!

Jillian Vance Design was started by Jillian Vance in 2010 at the age of
10 years old. A very creative young lady, she decided to start a card
business and sell them at her mom’s salon. Then after needing
sentiments that she couldn’t find anywhere, she decided to fill the
niche in the clear stamp market she felt was missing ~ “There are a lot
of cute stamps out there, but it is nearly impossible to find sentiments
for the inside of cards, especially Christian ones .” So several of
her sets have a reference to God who she loves deeply.
In
addition to designing cards, trendy stamps and dies which are made in
the USA, Jillian, is a high school senior honor student and also attends
Mount Vernon Nazarene University majoring in Graphic Design. She loves
to sing, play her Taylor Guitars, dance and perform in local theater
productions. She lives at home with her parents and three beloved dogs,
Angus, her Yorkie Poo, Izzy and Mo both Yorkies who were rescues and
are perfect angels!
This week's winner will receive a $20 gift card to the online store!
Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
