Week 239: LANDMARK

 

Depending on where you live, where you've traveled or the places you've read about, this week's challenge will have us discovering places around the world or highlighting life events!

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