CASology Cue Card #1: Sun!

Hello, friends!  Have you heard about the new blog called CASology?  I was so happy to hear about it through Rosemary's blog (she is one of the talented design team members) and I couldn't wait to check it out. 

If you know anything about me, then you know I LOVE clean and simple cards.  LOVE them.


So, they have their first challenge posted, and here is how it works.  Every Tuesday, a cue card will be posted containing a single word; this week the word is "SUN."  We are challenged to take that word and run with it, keeping the card design clean and simple. The deadline is Sunday of the same week and winners are announced on Monday.  Another cool thing: weekly winners will have the opportunity to be guest designers for upcoming challenges! 


So, I checked out the blog and was immediately inspired, particularly by the cards made by both Jen and Rosemary.  I immediately thought of my cheery little "Sunshine" stamp (Me & My Big Ideas) and a simple Studio G sentiment...together with a little Scattered Straw distress ink, Spellbinders wonky rectangles, gingham paper, and hand-drawn stitches, I was DONE!


I hope you get a chance to check out this new blog...they have some very talented ladies on the design team, and ANY challenge surrounding clean and simple designs is MY KIND OF PLACE! 

Have a great day!
Judy
