Congratulations Ardyth! Here is what Sarah had to say about your card

Ardyth's fabulous card jumps off the screen! The bold sentiment in the rich reds is beautifully balanced by the border and the lovely white space. The simplicity of this design is elegant and striking.

Once again,

MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a safe New Year!

Great job!! You have a beautiful family! And LOVE your reindeer card. So creative, clever and FUN!! And with great dimension.

Absolute classic, fun, dimensional beauty Carolyn! Love it!

Challenge #78 - Joy

Welcome to ATCAS!

Wow! You really helped us celebrate our 3rd birthday in style. Thank you to all our entrants for amazing and inspirational creations. 

Loll is going to have an extremely hard time to choose her winners. Tune back in on Monday for the announcement. 

Speaking of announcements - as you know we also had a DT call in conjunction with our last challenge. Talk about having to make some hard decisions! There are 3 positions available and over 20 applicants. I will be going through all of them very carefully but I know that I would like to choose you all! I will make my decision ASAP and will email the successful ladies. Thanks again for all the interest :)

So, having a DT call means one thing. I have ladies on my DT that are stepping down :( This is the last challenge for 2015 and also the last challenge for the following gals:

Sarah Gray

Sarah hasn't been with the ATCAS team for long but she has certainly made an impact with her creations. Life and all that other crazy stuff requires Sarah to step back from her DT commitment for now. We wish her all the best and know that we will thankfully still see her around blogland.

Joanna Harty

Like Sarah, Joanna has had to step down due to her commitments. Joanna is an amazing crafter and shares the most brilliant videos. Once things settle down, Joanna will be able to start crafting again on a regular basis. It is what she loves to do! See you, Joanna and take care!

Loll Thompson

Loll.... Loll is my last original team member here at ATCAS. Back in 2012 I had an idea to start a sister site for Addicted to Stamps and More! but dedicated to clean and simple designs. Addicted to CAS was born and right there with me was Loll. I'm sure you all know her. I'm sure you all love her. I'm going to be biased and say that you don't love her as much as I do, though ;) Over the last 3 years, Loll has been there behind the scenes helping with ATCAS. If I ever needed someone to jump in for me, Loll was there. She started organising the Guest Designers for us, made sure that our posts were looking good when they went live (especially if I was out partying or something...) and was just an invaluable team member. I love Loll to death and it breaks our hearts to see her leave ATCAS. (I am very lucky that I still have her at Happy Little Stampers).

Loll, from the bottom of my heart and from all of the current and previous Designers THANK YOU. I am sure that I can speak on behalf of our followers too. THANK YOU. You have inspired us with your amazing CAS creations and they will truly be missed in our showcase of designers. 

THANK YOU.

Ok! Enough dribble from me? On to our new challenge!

Congratulations, Elizabeth! Please grab your badge to display on your blog and email me at kyliepurtell@gmail.com within 5 days to claim your prize.

Here is what Anja had to say about your card!

Elizabeth showed us a great way to express the word HERO. The stitched panel and great background made this card so well balanced. And for some extra interest she used a silver strip at the bottom. Each time I saw the gallery my eyes were drawn to this card.

Our current challenge is a doozy!!! You really need to play along because we have a fabulous code word, stacks of prizes and a DT call!
