Dorcas tapped into my inner nerd with her positive and negative pole lemon :)

Introducing Nancy Elrick!

We're heading off into the new week and have some exciting news to share with you!  We have a new design team member!  Please give a warm welcome to Nancy Elrick of Nancy's Creative Mess!

My name is Nancy and I am from Calgary Alberta, Canada.  I have been married for 28 years and have two grown sons who still live at home.  I started stamping and card making thanks to my Mom, the queen of all crafts, in 1996.  My first big stamping project was creating my youngest son's birth announcements.  I have embraced a lot of styles in 23 years of crafting but I have found myself being pulled towards the clean and simple for a while now.  When I'm not spending time in my craft room (or at work), you'll find me watching TV, going for walks, reading or out adventuring with my hubby on our motorcycles.  I am super excited to be joining the CASology Design Team!!

We're thrilled to have her joining the CASology team!  Her clean and simple style fits right in and we're sure you're going to find her work inspiring as we continue into the second half of 2019!

You can follow her on her blog or over on her Instagram account.  Please go say hello and then sit back and get ready for her amazing CAS design talent to shine!

Week 347: CITRUS

What says summer more than citrus?!  It's time to stir up some lemonade, squeeze some oranges or make whatever this cue makes you think of for a refreshing gallery this week!

**Please note:  Challenges are now two weeks long to give everyone a little extra time to join in the fun!

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!)

Uniko is returning as our wonderful sponsor for this challenge, so be sure and play along for your chance to win!

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