  3. Wishing all of you fabulous ladies of the Designer Team at CASology, a Fabulous, Joyful and Healthy 2016!! I want to thank each one of you for an amazing year of challenges, it was a total blast for me to participate in them. Before I had this little blog of mine, (it's only one short year old!!) I didn't even know what CAS meant!! but now I do and, as a total newbie blogger and CAS card creator, I had the fortune to be among some of your Honorable Mentions with my cards.
    I've learned so much from each one of you, your styles are amazing, elegant and so beautiful.
    I want to wish each one of you a Joyful and Healthy 2016, from the Rodriguez family to yours.
