[Miss Boo]

Week 7 of our All-Star Holiday Season with design team alumni: This week, we have Jean and Patricia helping Denise, Harriet and me.

***********************************************

What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple .


It's all about the design .
* not the technique
* not the tools
* not the embellishments

It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point

It's all about the design .

Clean & Simple

CAS248 - This week�s clean & simple challenge is to make either holiday shopping or traditional holiday cards. (Fall - December)


KEYWORD: CAS248
It's also great to add the keyword: CAS so that you're in two galleries.

Let's leave some love for our DT alums who have made some amazing samples for us this week!
