CAS at CIU

 Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is CAS.  Now I realize that for the purist, this might not really be CAS, but for me this is really Clean!  ;)

When I talk about my personal style, I'm always quick to confess CAS is NOT my forte!  I'm notorious for having to add tons of embellishments to cover up ink and glue splotches!  

I'm uncomfortable with white space...since it seldom is white after I get my hands on it!  So there it is...true crafty confessions from my craftroom!
