Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the Week Ending September 4, 2011
Hello and welcome to the the Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites of the Week thread. This is the place where we celebrate the CAS style by acknowledging our favorite projects from the past week's gallery uploads.
EVERYONE is invited to participate by linking to their personal favorites!
EVERYONE is invited to comment on the cards linked here!
EVERYONE! Please don't be shy or afraid of breaking rules. The more, the merrier!
And now onto my CAS favorites to get us started...
fionna51 used white embossing on happy colors to create her fabulously CAS card set
parkes made a gorgeously rich blended backdrop for her silhouette scene
Tilly's Inspired by a Book card blew me away with its reference to Gone with the Wind; she also made me smile with her Bright Birds card
artsy_em made a very sweet and simple Thank You card with great colors and two rounded corners
whim6915 used bling with restraint and to great effect on her monochromatic Christmas card
lisahenke combined pretty colors on a kraft base on her lovely Because I Care flower card
lisaadd cut her way to CAS perfection with her sweet Thinking of You card; then she showed how texture can carry a CAS card with her Papertrey flower card
corinnamcgregor lit up the gallery with her absolutely adorable The Light Is On card
vdutchr showed how color can pop on her fabulously colored CAS card with an MFP set I ordered yesterday just so I can CASE her
SophieLaFontaine's Simple Birthday card combines a swirly cursive font with a graphic row of circles and a simple balloon to create perfect design balance
ltecler used red sparingly and dramatically on her totally awesome Me + You card
And that's what I have for last week. Now it's your turn!
Many thanks to everyone who uploads to the gallery, regardless of style. The SCS gallery is an amazing source of inspiration for everyone because of people's generosity and willingness to share their creations. THANK YOU!
Thanks, Susan, for mentioning my card set. I "whipped those out" so quickly yesterday that I'm thinking maybe I shoud not try so hard!
I truly added a lot of wonderful cards to my faves this week. I won't put all of them here. After all, there has to be some left for the rest of you to showcase! But here's some great ones:
Susan, thank you so much for mentioning my card WT338 Back to School Week 1 by whim6915 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
I just got the phone call that my DDIL is in the hospital getting ready to have my new grandbaby - can't wait to meet the little person! Your kind notice of my card is just one more blessing for me today!
Now, off to the hospital to pray, pace and be joyful!
Oh Thank you Trish (TrishG) for faving my daisy card. What a surprise! Thank you..I have faves but am headed out for the day. Will fave them when I return!
Susan(susanbri), thank you SO much for mentioning my two cards. It is always a thrill when one of my CAS cards "makes it" to a favorite list.....since I feel it is my weakest style. You certainly started my new week with "a lift". Hugs, Sallie
Trish, thank you for making my day by mentioning my painted butterfly card. Would you believe when I gave it away to my friend she was wearing a shirt in those exact colors with butterflies on it?! A little bit scary LOL!!
Thank you Karen, for letting me know!!

Karen, thanks for letting me know that I was a favorite this week and I agree, I have a bunch in my favorites this week too. I just returned from camping, so I'll have to come back and add them.
