Now it's time to announce our Weekly Winner and Honorable Mentions!

  Melissa had the honor of selecting the Winner for Week #200 and here is her selection:

Milka used an ombre effect with a pop of color to create interest on her one layer design.  The sentiment is effectively framed and all design elements are contained within one area to create a very clean & simple layout!

Congratulations, Milka!

Featured Designer: Shelly Kurth

It's Friday and Shelly is returning to share even more of her creativity with us! This week, it's a peek into the past!

Hey y'all, happy Friday!! Shelly, here!  Today I'm sharing my Featured Designer post number 3! :) Last week I shared my first CASology winning card and CASEd it. So, I thought this time I'd share my top 5 favorite cards from CASology with you! They weren't necessarily winners, but I like them and I had fun making them! :)

 

Now, for the teaser part...I'm only going to show you #5 and #4, here. You'll have to swing on over to my blog to see the rest! 

 

 

I'll be back next Friday with my last Featured Designer post. For that, I'll be sharing a peek into where all the creativity happens! Some of you may already know that I reorganized/updated my space, though I will say, I did make a few little tweaks to it...You'll have to wait until next Friday to see! ;)

 

See y'all soon!

Go check out the rest of her fantastic CAS favorites!!!
