Challenge #55 - WORLD

We are back! Welcome to ATCAS for 2015.

We hope you will be able to join in with our challenges. We love trying to inspire you. The design team are raring to go and can't wait to see what you come up with.

Our first code word for 2015 chosen by the amazing and gorgeous Jaydee is

Make whatever you like using the code word but please keep it Clean and Simple. You may enter a total of 10 challenges including ours. 

We are so very excited to have a brand new sponsor with us today. Our ex-teamie Christine now has her own amazing line of stamps and other goodies.

Christine is offering a stamp set to the winner of our challenge!

More exciting news! We are so lucky to have Julia from Create with Me joining us for the month of January as our Guest Designer. Please make her welcome!

"I was over the moon to be invited to be the Guest DT for January here at ATCAS! After many years of card stamping I finally settled on CAS as my design style of choice. And while over the past 2 years, I have been venturing into the steam punk/vintage world of Tim Holtz (almost the complete opposite of CAS!) I still go CAS whenever I'm making a card! I've been blessed to be on some stamp company DTs as well as a couple of blog challenge DT's. I love every minute of card stamping - which is often happening late into the night since I work full time. Thank you ladies for inviting me to share some 'clean and simple' with you this month!"

Here we go with the inspiration -

You will also see some new faces in the team - don't forget to say hi!

"I literally gasped when I saw this amazing card made by Chrissie.  The colours of the butterfly are so beautiful, and then with the gold embossed dots on top, it is just stunning.  The embossed butterfly border and gold embossed sentiment add depth and texture to make this a work-of-art in a card.  Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us Chrissie!"

Challenge #54 and fond farewells

Welcome to Addicted to CAS where we love all things Clean and Simple!

Well! It's been a huge year with plenty of inspiration. This is our last challenge for 2014 - you will still have 2 weeks to link up bringing you up until the 27th December.

We will be back in 2015 starting with our first challenge on the 17th January (my son's 20th birthday, oh my lord). 

Before we get on to our challenge, we have some fond farewells for the Design Team ladies who are stepping down. This will be their last post for Addicted to CAS and we are surely going to miss them. 

Please help us in saying goodbye to

Thank you all for your amazing and inspiring creations. You are going to be missed here at ATCAS and wish you all the best. See you around blog land!

As you know, in conjunction with our last challenge we held a DT call. I have so many applications to go through - so amazing!! Thank you to all of you for your interest. I only have a handful of positions to fill so it is going to be very hard to narrow it down! Everyone will be emailed in the next couple of days to let you know if you were successful or not :)

Right! Onto our challenge!

Our fabulous and amazing hostess this week is Shana and here is the code word she has chosen for you -

A great code word for this time of the year! Interpret the code word to your liking but just remember to keep it Clean and Simple!
