Week 814 - CAS (clean and simple)

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Oh dear our ‘spots and/or stripes’ challenge didn’t really grab you last week but we are grateful for the gorgeous entries we did have and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and we will also find out who Nat has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge which this week has been chosen by Sarah from Team 1 and she has given us the fab theme of 'CAS'. Sarah doesn’t mind what you make this week, as long as it is clean and simple.  This is Sarah’s favourite style of card and I know it's sometimes difficult to step away from all the layers and embellishments but the effect is very striking. We hope this week’s challenge is more appealing so hopefully we can see lots of entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card; the only rule we have is to use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles on their creations this week.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs and see more views of their amazing makes this week):
