Week 261: SAFARI


We're going on a safari this week!  Come join us!

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!)



Your Next Stamp is returning as our wonderful sponsor this week and this week's winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to their online store!  If you've been thinking about adding some YNS products to your stash, you'll want to shop this week!  Your Next Stamp is offering you a 20% discount on your order during this week's challenge!  Use code YNSCAS during checkout!  Thank you, Your Next Stamp!
