Week 290: ABSTRACT

Ready for a new cue word?!  This week's will definitely get you thinking outside the box.  Don't let it intimidate you, it's wide open for interpretation!  Be sure and visit the design team member and guest designer blogs to see how each one interpreted the cue.  This might just give you that light bulb moment you need to get the gears turning!

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!)

Let's see what the design team and guest designer created for inspiration!
