Week 221: CURE


Looking for a cure for fading creative mojo this week?  You have come to the right place!  The gallery might contain a cure for most anything and we can't wait to see what everyone creates!

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!)


We're welcoming Birch Press Design as our brand new sponsor this week and you're going to love what you see on their website!

Our talented team has been designing products in the paper industry since 1994 and is constantly inspired by the beautiful outdoors. We are based in Seattle, Washington - home to some of the most gorgeous forests and beaches in the world - and with nature as a guide, we create and gather the beautiful items you see in our online store. 
 
It is our mission to provide delightful things that inspire others as well. We are passionate about celebrating the seasons and holiday traditions of the world and hope you enjoy our collections.

They are offering a generous $20 gift certificate to their online store to this week's winner!

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