Week 203: CONGRATULATIONS
We'd like to congratulate those who played along last week! There were so many perfectly clean & simple designs in the gallery! Way to go! This week's cue word should leave plenty of room for a wide variety of brainstorming ideas! Life is so full of events that deserve a congrats!
As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- 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!)
STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this week's winner their choice of either a $10 gift certificate to the online store OR 2 ARTplorations stencils! Have you seen their newest release?! Go take a look and then refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!
Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
