Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the week ending Saturday, January 13, 2018

[fionna51]

Good evening all! Welcome to the new, and dedicated, home of the Clean and Simple Favorites thread! Nothing else will change, all will be familiar to you. Just in a new, comfy home.

This thread is for your CAS favorite cards for the Sunday, the 7th thru the Saturday, the 13th of this month. If you have favorites that are not CAS, we encourage you to share them in the Favorites thread for the week.

I know I have some beautiful cards in my favorites this week. I'll just have to check them out and share them with you.

Spring Flowers by sistersandie

I'm sure I missed some lovely creations this week, because I spent much of the week in bed with an awful cold. So I would sure be grateful if you would share your favorites and show me what I missed!

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.

Thank you Lydia for making our new thread possible. Hugs...
