CFC173 - Celebrating CAS-ual Fridays Birthday!

Welcome friends. We are so glad you are joining us for the revamped CAS-ual Fridays challenge. There are no genre restrictions for this challenge. Link up your clean and simple designs or layer it on -- the choice is yours.  Make sure to link back to this blog post and include the graphic below in your post for consideration of being chosen a winner.

Before we get down to business, we are saying goodbye to designer Lisa who has graced us this last year with her beautiful creations. Lisa, we wish you all the best. We are also very happy that our 8 new designers who were introduced earlier this week are joining us starting today.



CAS-ual Fridays is turning 6 years old this month. A big congratulations to Michele. In honor of its birthday, we want you to make a birthday card with 6 of any of the same item.

What are your playing for? 10 winning entries will be highlighted on this blog each Thursday before a new challenge is set to go live the next day.  In addition, Michele has generously offered up a $25 gift certificate to the overall winner at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. And if that weren't enough, if the chosen winner has used CAS-ual Fridays  stamps and/or dies as the main focus in the card, that gift certificate will increase to $50.

Now let's see what our designers came up with for this challenge. Please click on their name above the photo to be taken directly to their blog to learn more about the project and to give them some love.

Also, you can find direct links to the CAS-ual Friday Stamps and Fri-dies that the designers used which are linked underneath their names. Remember, you don't have to use CAS-ual Friday stamps and dies to play along but if you do and you are the winner, your gift certificate increases to $50.
