CAS-ual Fridays : In a WORD

The CAS-ual Friday challenge is a great one!

Instead of a resolution, choose a word that describes what you hope for the new year.

maybe it's LOVE if you want to work on your relationships, or DO if you want to challenge yourself to something, or LAUGH if you want to lighten up, etc.

Use that word as the inspiration for your card, and keep it Clean And Simple

We have 2 weeks to play along.

My Inspiration for the New Year,  

A BRIGHT outlook, 

a SUNNY disposition!

Take it on with exuberance...!

Thanks for Coming by!

One Layer Simplicity Challenge!

One Layer Simplicity Challenge!

The Design Team

• Ardyth Percy-Robb
• Susan Raihala
• Cheryl Emery
• Heather Telford
• Karen Dunbrook

If you count yourself in the number of FANS of  SIMPLE CAS one Layer (and Ardyth Percy-Robb), then you MUST visit this challenge!
THE second I saw Ardyth's card, I ran to my stash and made this card.  YAY, another CAS that has a wonderful DT for AMAZING inspiration!!

Here's how the new challenge works.

1. New Blog. All One-Layer Simplicity challenges will be posted right here on this brand-new blog, simply and beautifully designed by our own Ardyth. This means you no longer have to search five blogs for our one-layer challenge. It will always be right here. 

2. Monthly Challenge. The One-Layer Simplicity Challenge is a monthly challenge. A new challenge will be posted by one of our five design-team members on the first of each month and will be open to entries through midnight EST on the 24th, when the InLinkz collection will close. 

3. Highlight Week. The last week of each month will be Highlight Week. Making successful clean-and-simple, one-layer cards requires attention to detail, and we want to encourage your creativity in using your stamps, ink, and embellishments for maximum minimalist impact! So our design team will highlight some of our favorite details from among the entries for that month, calling out those little touches that really make CAS cards special. 

For those of you struggling with making minimalist cards, we hope our Highlight Week posts help you grow in confidence. For those of you who already love making minimalist cards, we sure hope you have fun playing along!

This Week's (The VERY First) is to do what you NEED.  

I need to Stay in Touch, send OUT my cards, keep closer with friends and family.  (!!)

I used the Mamaelephant Set FAIR FEATHERS and then added a little personal whimsy by

taking a yellow copic and drawing random stars.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you have time to squeeze in some wonderful craft time!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
