CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC8

Hooray! Its Friday!!

We certainly had a lot of fun last week and want to thank you all for playing!

The Girl Friday's loved visiting your blogs and were so excited to find they had

inspired so many of you with their creations!

I hope you're ready for another fun challenge at

CAS-ual Fridays!

This week we are Getting Edgy! Use your border punches, rip some cardstock, whatever your pleasure to add a fun edge to your Clean And Simple project!

Please give it up for our fantastic sponsor...

Our lucky TGIF winner will get to choose a stamp set from the Market Street Stamp store!

It won't be an easy decision because the designs are incredibly fun!

Market Street Stamps was founded in January 2010 by artist and stamp enthusiast, Angelica Suarez and her husband, Jorge. Crafted with the highest quality photopolymer on the market today, our stamps stamp like rubber, but are clear (with a peach tint) for your convenience. You'll find an eclectic style in our shop and a variety of small and larger-scaled images for card-making, scrapbooking and mixed media. We have new releases on the last Friday of each month with sneak peeks preceding each new release. We hope to inspire you and have you join us on our blog and Facebook page where we always keep it fresh!

Market Street Stamps generously provided the Girl Fridays with some amazing stamps to design our Inspiration Parade this week!
Make sure to visit each designer's blog to see which delightful set they used :)

Welcome back to another week of fun...

Clean And Simple fun, that is, at

CAS-ual Fridays!

You really knocked our socks off last week with your creativity!

Just can't wait to see what you do this week!

This week we are Color Blocking: place blocks, or areas of color, next to each other to form a cohesive design on your Clean And Simple creation.

You can use all sorts of colors: brights, neutrals even a monochromatic look.

Get creative, have fun, just keep it CAS.
Our Girl Fridays have fabulous examples of Color Blocking to show you
but there is also a super cool Color Block chat from Kim Kesti if you need
more explanation on this cool trend.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC6

Oh the fun you will have with this one!

This week at CAS-ual Fridays

we are playing Tic Tac Toe.

Each 3-in-a-row line holds a recipe and you get to choose the row that works for you.

Choose a row: across, down, or diagonal and then

Create a Clean & Simple design using those elements in your project. Be sure to tell us which row you used.

Are you ready for a CAS-ual Fridays first?

Introducing our first ever Girl Friday Temp
Tami Mayberry!

Tami is a fantastic card designer AND stamp designer!
She's talented, sweet and a huge fan of Clean And Simple design.
We are thrilled to have her as our honored guest and here is a little more about her in her own words:

I am a wife and stay at home (homeschooling) mom of 5. In my “free time” I enjoy spend time with family, church activities, graphic design and, of course, creating with paper. I have been scrapbooking since 1997 and card making since 2007. I am a designer for DRG Publishers/CardMaker magazine, designer/illustrator for Gina K Designs, designer for The Stamps of Life and team leader for Scor-pal. I love creating clean and simple designs and am thrilled to play along this week with Cas-ual Fridays!!
