Good morning all! It's Cassie here, filling in for our sweet Katie. . .HI KATIE! If you remember, we changed up the rules a bit for the Clearly Inspired Challenges. Those rule changes included a new way to win. It combines the number of players from the month for CIC23 & CIC4 and then we pick winners from there. The more that play collectively, the more winners. We had a total of 34 entrants, so that means 2 different winners. A winner for a $10 gift card for stamps or digis only, and a winner of that month's featured digi. Our winners are:
$10 gift code for stamps or digis -- peggysue W
Featured Digi (Bunny Slippers) -- Doris
Please contact Cassie at [email protected] to get your prize!
We are so thankful to all that participate in our challenges, and hope that we can boost those numbers with our next challenges for the month. Here are the rules for the challenges:
************************************************
-Challenges are now going to be on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, and you'll have 2 weeks to finish each challenge.
-Challenges can use any stamps or digis from any company
-Only one entry per person per challenge
-Prizes will be given away after both challenges for the month. The number of prizes is determined by the number of participants for the month. For every 20 entries there will be a $10 gift certificate for stamps or digis up for grabs. (For example if over the entire month there were a total of 60 participants in both challenges, there will be 3 $10 gift certificates and 3 of the featured digital images to give away. . .that's a total of 6 winners in that example.)
-We will also be giving away the featured digi image....one for every 20 entries!
************************************************
With that said, here is our next challenge, CIC25:
CAS or Clean and Simple Challenge
CAS is defined as a clean look with minimal layering and embellishments. Now those aren't easy for everyone, so let's see what the DT came up with:
Lisa Lara -- Triple Chicks digi (April featured digi)
Jan Hunnicutt -- Triple Chicks (April featured digi)
Barb Best -- Triple Chicks (April featured digi)
Linda Anderson -- Triple Chicks (April featured digi)
Michelle Sampson -- Hoppy Frogs
Christi Bryant -- Birthday Celebration
Cassie Trask (me) -- Monster Mash
Please use Mister Linky below to link your project directly. We also ask that you link back here to Clearly Inspired Challenges sponsored by Clear Dollar Stamps. Remember you have 2 weeks to enter this challenge to be eligible for the prizes at the end of the month. Be as creative as you can while sticking with the theme. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Great challenge! I find CAS cards a challenge, so this was a good motivator to try. :) GREAT card from the DT!!

Another straight forward challenge except that I find CAS cards hard (I like layers!). Thanks for a chance to win.
