Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the Week Ending September 25, 2011
Welcome to the Clean and Simple (or CAS for short) favorites of the week thread!!! Here's where we celebrate simplicity by recognizing the past week's gallery uploads that stood out as examples of the CAS style.
EVERYONE is welcome to participate in this thread. Dive right in and post links to your favorites. Also, try to leave a little love for the CAS projects listed in the form of comments. Some of my favorites had NO comments this week. The gallery is big, and it's easy for gems to get hidden, so let's fix that.
I'll get us started.
k dunbrook created a fab one-layer card with strong colors and a single pearl
biggan gets such great impressions on textured cardstock, and her one-layer heart card is no exception
susanbri used negative space to awesome effect on her Star-filled Circle card
jacynthe white embossed on cherry cobbler and accented her clean Christmas card with a lovely ribbon
bon2stamp made a CAS Halloween card that I wish I'd made!
mamamostamps used some fun, bright colors and lots of crisp white on her delightful Thankful Paisley card; I also loved her pearly Baby Dress card
Benzi took black and white to a whole new level by combining a fun sentiment, a single butterfly brad, and a super embossing folder
princessforj used a script background stamp and rich, glittery heart on her fabulously pretty Heart Script card
criminalgrace masked her way to a simply adorable baby card
thestampinbean colored and popped her baby buggy and added just the right touch of glitter to make the whole card sparkle
mocjen rocks white space with her super-simple and perfect OLW64 Christmas card
Aimes made a HB 2 U card with fun red background and a touch of baker's twine
AndreaEwan combined white with warm, earthy colors and a pop of teal for a gorgeous autumn card
artystamper combined tea and music with a fab black-and-white design on her MMTP164 card
LeAnne Pugliese kept her CAS136 card to one layer and placed all the elements perfectly for a balanced and beautiful card
alimarbles perfectly set off her gorgeously distressed and texted leaf with a simple debossed frame
sweetnsassystamps kept to a monochromatic palette and wonderful details on her lovely CAS136 card
Arizona Maine combined die cut holly leaves and berries with a wonderful sentiment to make a perfect Noel card
cookiebaker's spectrum leaf card jumped all by itself into my favorites folder
girlgeek101 used fabulous texture on her white and cream Embrace strength card
As always, many thanks to everyone who posts cards and projects in the gallery. I know it takes time and effort to do so, but that time and effort spent is very much appreciated!
And now it's your turn!!! Please post your CAS favorites so we can see what we might have missed in the great big gallery!
Susan, I am so glad you liked my card and gave it a mention today. It gave my Sunday morning a big lift.

Hi, Marie!! (Momof5sons). You sure know how to make my day by listing my card CC341 Fall Inspiration amongst your favorites. Wow, you have me next to some awesome stampers, and it's so exciting. Thanks so much, my East Coast friend.
Thank you so much, Susan (LateBlossom) and CarrollAnn (Mrs. Boz) for mentioning my Star-filled Circle card. It's always an honour to be mentioned in this thread. And thanks, Karen, for notifying me.
