This was our last challenge at The Cameo Spotlight. Sadly, we can no longer justify the hard work that goes into running a challenge blog for so few players. We've LOVED seeing the projects of our participants and we're very grateful for those that played along! I know the Design Team will continue to use their Silhouette Cameos to create cards. So, if you're looking for inspiration you can visit their personal blogs. I'm sure they would be happy if you stopped by!

There's a fun new card challenge called CAS(E) this Sketch that everyone is welcome to participate in. Feel free to use your Cameo or SD machine in the creation of your CAS cards for the challenge. You can find us HERE! We hope you'll play along!!!
