CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC13

Well it sounds like many of you found hidden treasures in your stash last week
and we're glad we could encourage you to dust them off and use them!
Oh, have we got a challenge for you this week!
This one will test the very core of your CAS-ness *wink*
CFC13-The Long and Short of it:  Create a 4 x 9 card and 
keep it Clean And Simple!
The idea is to embrace the (white) space.  Its a big canvas & you must resist the urge to fill it.

Please give a warm welcome to our amazing sponsor this week!


Lawn Fawn is a small company from Southern California that specializes in clear stamps that are both fun and lively.  Our stamps have been seen in the pages of
Paper Crafts, CARDS, Take Ten, and Creating Keepsakes magazines
with many more publications to come.
At Lawn Fawn, we love stamps that are truly one of a kind.  All of our stamps feature original designs that have been created just for you; even our fonts have been customized to perfectly coordinate with each set.  And to give you the best stamp experience possible, our stamps are manufactured in the USA with high quality photo-polymer.
Visit us anytime at lawnfawn.com to browse our latest products, order at our online store, or simply find inspiration!
We hope our stamps make you smile!

Our TGIF winner will receive a terrific prize from Lawn Fawn!



*** A little Housekeeping***
Pleeease be sure you are familiar with our challenge rules.
It has broken our hearts the last couple weeks to eliminate projects from the VIP and TGIF voting process because they didn't have a link back to our challenge.  We love seeing our challenge graphic in your posts but please be sure to either link it or add a separate link that takes your readers directly to CAS-ual Fridays.


And now, on with our Long & Short inspiration parade!
Lawn Fawn generously provided our Girl Fridays with sets to create their inspiration projects this week...check out these lovelies!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC12

Last week was sweet!!  It was such a treat seeing all your fabulous creations and fun twists.
We just love that you find inspiration at
CAS-ual Fridays
and are thrilled that you spend time with us!

Are you ready for another fun filled week?
CFC12-Here's the Rub- create a Clean And Simple project 
using a rub-on or sticker.
***you may use other craft items too, but your CAS design must include a rub-on or sticker***


Inspiration is everywhere and here at CAS-ual Fridays we are always on the lookout so we can bring you fun  and fresh challenges each week.  This week, we had to look no further than our fabulous sponsor who generously provided rub-ons and stickers to the Girl Fridays this week!

Vinyl Lettering and Wall Art is one of the Hottest Trends.

E.A.D DESIGNS allows you to change the look of any room in just a few minutes. Our Products can be used on more than just walls and on many surfaces. Our customers are always coming up with new and fun ideas to use our products. 

Our Story:

E.A.D DESIGNS is a family owned and operated business. Emily Nelson (owner) started E.A.D DESIGNS in 2002 and in a few short years has grown into one of the largest retailers/wholesalers for Vinyl Lettering and Wall Art. Our website launched in 2004. We started out with vinyl sayings and then offered our customers Wall Art in 2004. Our Design Center was added in 2005 and is one of our greatest website features, allowing you to create and design your custom quotes online. We recently launched a new scrapbooking rub-on line in 2009 and in 2010  started offering our AMAZING Stickerz and printed WallArt.

With our passion for Crafts & Design we have been able to stay up on the newest and hottest trends. Selling directly online helps us keep our prices down so that everyone can afford our beautiful designs.

Our Products:

All our products are made with high quality vinyl and made in the USA. We take pride in offering the newest and original designs on the market. 

Please be sure to visit E.A.D. Designs and see all the fabulous products they have for your crafting delight!
And remember, our talented TGIF Club winner will win something fabulous from them!

But wait there's even more fun in store!
Joining us this week as our special guest Temp is none other than the fabulous
Ann Cox!

I started crafting about 7 years ago, thinking I would become a scrapbooker. As soon as I found cardmaking, though, I fell in love & never looked back! Crafting has gone far beyond a hobby, leading me to so many new friends & amazing experiences. I love creating clean & simple designs, & I am SO excited to be a part of the CAS-ual Fridays crew this week!
