An Exciting CAS Day Indeed!

What an exciting day!

I've got two three fabulous things going on today

so buckle up !  It's going to be fun!

Imagine my surprise when a birthday gift arrived

at my doorstep with five brand new stamp sets

in the package !  They were from my dear friend

Michele.  If you've visited my blog for any length

of time, you will know she was a designer over at

The Play Date Cafe and from there, we worked on

The CAS-ual Fridays Challenge together.

She has now taken the BIG LEAP and started

her own stamp line based on the terrific

CAS concept and I am honored to be a part of it

as a Guest Designer !

This set is called 'Calm & Gentle' and I absolutely love

these trees.

I just got this new 'Cathedral Lace' punch from Martha Stewart

and I thought it made a great fence.

I just 'dressed up' the trees with tiny gems.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps are the finest quality, photopolymer stamps 

made in the USA. 

There are five sets to the brand new release.  

Each day of the release, you will have a chance 

to win the featured set !  

All you have to do is head to the store blog and leave a comment

on each of the sneak peek posts to have a chance to win.

You can most definitely go back and comment on posts you may have missed,

so that's great news.  You have until 11:59pm EST, Wednesday Oct 24th to

comment for a chance to win. Click HERE to get all the details.

Winners will be announced the following day and the stamps will

be available for purchase on Friday from CAS-ual Fridays !

You can also play along with the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge

to have a chance to win the entire release!

In the meantime, I am also celebrating the

FINAL DAY

of our 3rd Anniversary Celebration over at

Over $300 in prizes from our sponsors and all

you have to do is play along !  Create something
