CAS Mix Up April Monthly Picks

This was a new technique to most of us and we loved to see how everyone embraced it!  It's fun to try new techniques and see what we can learn along the way.
Thanks, Susan, for a fantastic challenge and to all of you for participating.


Our Top Pick for April
Bobby

We loved Bobby's CAS design with the elegant oval frame, the texture on the leaves from the layers of stamping and embossing which defined them, and her gold embossed sentiment.

Congratulations, Bobby
Make sure to grab the "Top Pick" badge below.
