CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for Week Ending 6/5/16

[swldebbie]

So glad that summer finally seems to have arrived. Of course, I may change my tune next weekend when they are saying very hot with a generous side of humidity.

I got back last weekend from 2 weeks of clearing out and selling (closing) on my step-dad's house. So nice to have time again to go gallery gazing this week. I found some great CAS cards and am betting that you did, too. So let's get started.


Here are mine:
CAS379 Planter PigWit by lisa lara
Lisa's AMAZING coloring skills, combined with her inimitable style captured my heart with this cute piggy card.


TLC588, Daisy by cjzim
Claudia picked the perfect stencil as a backdrop for her simple die cut flower. It really pulls the card together, while keeping things CAS.


Butterfly Thanks by jenmitchell
Love Jen's choice of colors and the perfectly balanced design.


Sending Lots of Love by YoursTruly
Diana's use of different textures and dimension really caught my eye.


Happy Birthday by Bar
Maybe my favorite, favorite this week - I love EVERYTHING about Barbara's card!


Dream by Stamping Virginia
I cannot look at Virginia's card without smiling and feeling happy. Happy colors, great design!


CAS Mix Up June Chalenge by Loll Thompson
I want to sit at a small table and savor a good cup of coffee under Loll's lovely window.


Open Heart Collage by pianohearder *** NEW-TO-ME-STAMPER ***
This, too, could be in the running for my favorite favorite this week. So much interest in the collage, but no loss of that open, airy feeling of CAS design.


Masculine Thank You by paula8182 *** NEW-TO-ME-STAMPER ***
Paula's "torn" edge design just really caught my interest. So want to CASE this card!


Under The Weather by limedoodle
Debby definitely hit a 10 on the cuteness scale with this darling card!


F4A328, Watercoloring with Brushos by k dunbrook
LOVE the way Karen's flowers pop on this beauty!




So now it's YOUR turn. What CAS cards captured your heart this week? I can't wait to hear!

Busy week for me, I have been boxing up everything and am 6 days away from being in my new place. Very little time in the gallery this week but I hope to get back to looking in the galleries soon. I had thought I was going to be done working but alas my company has asked me to stay on a bit longer to help so I will be working remote. I love that they still need me. No 1 hour commute! Whoo Hoo!

Here are the stunning cards I did find this week in between my boxing and packing:
TLC588, stencil stamping by Holstein - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
WT Balloons by Stamperrobin - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Happy crafting everyone!
Hugs, Lisa

[Benzi]

Very little time in the gallery this week. I was without puter for a few days and then the grands came for a visit.
