Clean and Simple ~ Best of 2021 ~

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.
Clean and Simple design is:
* Uncluttered,
* has lots of white or open space, and
* has one main focal point.

--------------------------------

...and they should be from the past year...Jan 1 thru Dec 31.

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 you have favorites that don't fit the Clean and Simple thread, we encourage you to share them on the regular Favorites thread.

If this is your first time being mentioned in this thread or you have a new blog we have blog badges found here in Forums at Splitcoaststampers.

Need help linking your Favorites? Follow these steps:

1. Load this year'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.

bubblestx4 · 01-02-2022, 01:39 PM

What a super surprise that some of my watercolor cards made the CAS favorites of the year list for 2021 !
Big thanks to all the notifiers and most especially to those who honored my cards:
Linda (Holstein) for my Saga of a Killer Bee
Lisa (Shoe Girl) for OCD Loose & Unstructured
Diane (fionna51) for Luna is Watching
You all have touched my heart and taken away some of the sadness that came with the forced isolation of the past few years. Since I live alone and have NO family in the area, I think I have turned into a Hermit - The sunshine you showered on me today makes me want to live life again! Thank you !

k dunbrook · 01-02-2022, 01:41 PM

Thanks so much Linda, for the mention of my Big Hugs card here...so appreciated.
xx Karen

k dunbrook · 01-02-2022, 01:42 PM

Thank you so much Lisa (Shoe Girl) for listing my card, He is Risen and Linda (Holstein) for listing my cards, He is Risen and The Hottest of Days. Sure helps my feelings on this rainy, cold day. Thanks, also, to mfb (Michelle) and Diane (Fionna51)
for the notifications.

It has been so long since I have spent much time on SCS because of my broken knee cap and I had forgotten about this. Now, I have a death in the family and got to head out of town so forgive me if I don't get anything listed.

stampin'nana · 01-02-2022, 01:57 PM

Lisa, thank you so much for including my black tie card as a yearly favorite! You have warmed my heart! Big Hugs and blessings to you and to Diane for delivering the Happy Mail~

What a lovely surprise - and a great way to start off the new year! Thank you fionna51 for letting me know about the 2021 CAS Best of Best lists - and Lisa (Shoe Girl) for giving my card a shout out!
It has been way too long since the last time I've posted a card on SCS. This is a perfect reminder to include a card making goal on my list for 2022.

Happy New Year!
