Hello, I'm Berni, and I am hosting this week. The Design Team would like to thank all the participants in last week's challenge.  You guys really nailed our Sketch challenge.  We would also like to thank last week's Guest Designer,Tracy MacDonald. Her design was fabulous and we hope to entice her to join us again in the future!

The CAS Design team welcomes you, and we hope you will enjoy this week's fun, OPTIONAL Twist, "Holtz It Right There!"  We would love to see Anything Tim Holtz on your projects.  We all use so many Ranger Products, not to mention all the wonderful things that Tim has designed for Sizzix, so this challenge should be fun for everyone whether you play the option or not.   As always, the twist is optional so feel free to submit any project created between Sunday and next Monday evening.  No special images are required...submit any project you wish.
As always, before we move into this week's challenge, we would like to recognize our Random Winner from last week!
