We have our wonderful sponsor this week-

Our CAS Perfectionist will be able to choose 5 digis from the store.

We have the great pleasure of introducing you to our Guest Designer for the month of February-

Anni Lerche.  Welcome Anni!!

"Hello, I am Anika (aka Anni or Annikarten) and I’m from Germany. For 15 years now I´ve lived in the beautiful city Berlin and I am married. I work as a math-teacher at a vocational college; to perform handicraft work is a perfect compensation for that.

From the cradle I grew up in a family of creative hobbyists, whereas I always only loved working with paper – I am wasted on needlework.

Into stamping I am since 2008, I love clean and simple cards, and yet eventually my cards often turn out to be somewhat more complex. I love the soothing paper piecing and resist techniques. You can see all my projects at annikarten.blogspot.ca."

Nancy loves creating CAS cards, so we know you'll enjoy seeing her designs as much as we do!  Nancy doesn't have a blog, but you can see her gallery of work at Splitcoast Stampers by clicking HERE.  Here's a little bit about her:

"I was thrilled to be asked to be the Guest Designer for January 2014.  What a fun way to start the New Year :-)

I have been stamping for 15+ years.  I have always enjoyed trying new techniques and styles.  When the CAS Style began showing up on SCS and stampers Blogs I finally discovered my favorite style!   I love the crisp and uncluttered, yet creative look of the CAS Style.

The last year I have really been inspired by the "Addicted to CAS Challenges".  Thank you Kylie to you and your very talented design team for all your inspiration.  I see a very creative CAS 2014 ahead for all of us.

BTW,  my DH Denny of 48 years loves the CAS style the best too :-)  Happy CAS Stamping !"
