Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for Week Ending SATURDAY, June 30, 2018
Debbie, here. It's my turn to start the CAS Favorites as we usher in the 2nd half of 2018. Can you believe it? Just seems like it cannot be true.
Here are my CAS favorites from this past week. While we always invite you to add you CAS faves to the thread, this week I am REALLY encouraging you to do so as I spent 2 days this week with vertigo which really cut into my Gallery Gazing time (hate when that happens!), so my list is a tad skimpy.
Here are some of the CAS beauties I DID uncover this week: Sip Happens by jentimko This one may not be for everyone, but it tickled my funny bone.
You've got a friend in me by hamiltonkim55 I'm used to seeing this border die used on landscape oriented cards or possibly on the right, but the unexpected placement on the left got my attention and I found it quite attractive.
Hello, Sunshine by Bar Barbara's title says it all - her sunshine card is happy, welcoming and perfectly CAS.
Because by kthaman Karen's card is beautifully CAS and has perfect visual balance in every way.
Citrus by Debby4000 Hands down, the dimension Debby gave her citrus slices earned this fresh card a place on my list this week.
This thread is open to everyone and is a great way to recognize the work of SCS's many talented CAS artists.
There are really only two "rules" here on the thread:
The Gallery posts you link to should be in the CAS style...
-------------------------------- And what does it mean to be Clean and Simple?
It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point --------------------------------
...and they should be from the past week.
Did you find your way to this thread because someone listed one of YOUR creations as a favorite? In addition to saying thank you, we encourage you to pay that smile you're probably wearing right now forward by sharing a few of the cards/projects YOU favorite-ed this week.
If this is your first time being mentioned in this thread or you have a new blog we have blog badges found here in this post.
Need help linking your Favorites? Follow these steps:
1. Load this week's Favorites thread in your first browser tab. Scroll down and click the Go Advanced button.
2. Open a second tab (or a separate window). Go to the Gallery and click on "My Favorites."
3. Click on a card you have saved. At the top, highlight the web address. Hit Ctrl+C to copy.
4. Switch back to the first tab. Type the cardmaker's SCS name, add a couple of spaces and hit Ctrl+V to paste your link there. Hit Enter twice to add a blank line.
5. Repeat as many times as needed for all your links.
6. Click the Preview Post button and check that your links work. Then click the Submit Reply button.
