Welcome back to CAS-ual Fridays, The Clean And Simple Challenge!
What a week! If you followed the announcements on our facebook page, then you know I had a terrible time narrowing down the huge list of awesome designers, and I decided to send out 7 invitations instead of 5.
Then there was that special Monday announcement where another 5 invitations went out!
If you haven't 'liked' us on facebook yet, please do. It's about to get super exciting over there!
Would you like to know who made the team??? I'll tell ya right after we talk challenge :)
CFC48: Opposites attract- choose 2 opposite colors from the color wheel to design your Clean And Simple creation. Opposite colors are determined by where the points meet. Examples: green and red, or orange and aqua, or purple and yellow, etc.
Please say hello to our fantastic sponsor!
My name is Lisa Hjulberg and I'm the owner of The Craft's Meow. Opening this store is a dream come true for me... I'm following Henry David Thoreau's advice to Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. I've imagined this for a very long time! We offer an array of stamps and paper crafting kits with coordinating bits and bobs that will make your paper crafting easier and more fun! We will also offer from time to time limited edition grab bags where everything old becomes new again! And this is just the beginning... I hope you'll stay with me for more delectable things to come!
This week's winner will get to choose the in-stock stamp set of their choice!
I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!! I've got to introduce you to the team!
It's quite the international crew hailing from 6 countries!
This team has loads of serious talent and all kinds of experience levels, including 3 designers who have never been on a team before!
I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that some of the original Girl Fridays will continue to inspire you on a weekly basis. These amazing ladies have been with me since the beginning, and I'm so jazzed that they are staying!

But wait! There's more!
Determined to keep at least a few more fabulous designers from my list, I came up with a concept that will bring you even more CAS-ual inspiration on a daily basis.
Allow me to introduce a brand new style of Girl Friday-the facebook team!
These Girl Fridays will be posting additional inspiration throughout the week that will be featured on our CAS-ual Fridays facebook page.
We're making every day of the week a CAS-ual Friday! Be sure to 'like' our facebook page so you can get your daily dose of new inspiration!
Uh-oh, not on facebook and don't want to miss out? Not to worry, they'll be posting on their blogs too.
They will knock your socks off with their mad design skills, and delight you with their wonderful personalities.
Please welcome

Wow! What a team!!
They are all crazy excited about getting to spill their beans tonight and
I know they'd love to hear from you, so please visit their blogs and share in their excitement.
Their first post won't be until May 4th, but they are already working on their creations and you will be dazzled!
There are still more surprises to come as we approach CAS-ual Fridays' first birthday.
Should I hint about it on facebook?? *grin*
And now its time for our inspiration parade featuring stamps from our fabulous sponsor The Crafts Meow!
