Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Everyone is invited to participate...and share what you found to be your Clean and Simple "favorite of favorites". You can share anytime in the next few weeks or so. The thread stays "stickied" in the Favorites sub-forum all year AND we post those favorites on a Pinterest board. I'll add the link when I have it.
PINTEREST BOARD: (coming soon!)
I hope you enjoy my collection of favorites for 2020. As usual, I had a really hard time selecting what to share, and I want to include as many of you as I can. So I hope you love this list! It sure has some absolutely stunning cards in it.
This Annual thread is open to everyone and is a great way to recognize what you consider the "best of the best" from 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 YEAR.
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 YEAR.
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.

Diane, thank you so much for listing Up, Up and Away. The person DH sent it to rang him to thank him and said it was the nicest card she had ever received (she can't get that many, then, was my thought), so it's a double honour to have that compliment from her and a mention from you on the CAS favourites of the year. Susan, thanks a bunch for letting me know.
I don't typically favourite a lot of CAS cards because it's not my native style ;-), but I do have a few from over the year.
Thanks ever so much, Diane, for including my card on your special list for 2020. It is much appreciated. Thank you, Susan, for giving of your time to let me know. Happy, healthy 2021 to you both. Hugs, Sallie
Thanks, Diane, for the mention of my Christmas poinsettia card. What a nice way to start the new year. Thanks, too, to Susan, for popping in with the happy news. Happy New Years!
Thank you Diane for starting the CAS favorites of the year. Thank you Karen for sending the happy mail all year to the amazing CAS designers on this threads. I have appreciated you taking the time each week to send the notifications.
Happy New Year to all. I hope 2021 will be a wonderful year for everyone.
Here are my CAS favorites for 2020. I know this is a long list but I think 2020 was such a tough year for so many that I wanted to really highlight some happiness to many this year.
