Featured Designer: Janet Ribet
Janet is back again today as our Featured Designer and she's sharing a peek into her craft space!
Another week has flown by and I'm back for my third post as CASology Featured Designer.
This week I'm sharing my happy space ... my studio. I am a very pragmatic person and organise things in a logical way that makes using them convenient and practical. So in the same way that I have my kitchen organised into cooking, baking, tea-making, breakfast stations, I have organised my studio with specific stations. Living on my dot in the ocean without Ikea or all your fancy specialised furniture and storage for craft and stamp supplies, I’ve had to do my own thing. Happiness is using your craft tools to solve the problem - I love my "Silhouette made” ink drawers.
I like to have things within
reach as much as possible so I have the supplies I use most within arm's
reach. Come over to my blog to see more of my organisation and storage
solutions.
And I have a card for you too - CAS with a little “engineering”. Here’s a sneak peek.
What are you waiting for?! Go on over and visit Janet's blog for more details!!!

Week 220: COFFEE
Ready for a little caffeine inspired fun? This week's cue word should provide just the kick-start you need!
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 offering this week's winner their choice of either a $10 gift certificate to the online store OR 2 ARTplorations stencils! Remember, during the weeks STAMPlorations is sponsoring us, you can refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!
How would you like to win even more STAMPlorations goodies? Be sure and check out their blog this month for current hops and new releases for chances to win some of their wonderful products!
