Heart CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for the week ending February 23, 2014

It's my turn to start the CAS Favourites thread this week. I have to start off by admitting that I spent a lot of time this week watching the Winter Olympics rather than stamping or browsing the gallery! But I managed to find quite a few favourites none-the-less. Here they are:

IC429,Got Milk? by k dunbrook - believe it or not, this one uses milk in place of ink to stamp with! I love the result!

F4A209 Hello Friend by Arizona Maine - beautiful use of a lovely dp

sweetly simple by janeenk - a sweet gentle sympathy card - *a new-to-me stamper*

LOVEFEST2014G CAS Patriotic Star by Julie Gearinger - love the non-Christmas use of the Christmas Star stamp combined with Gorgeous Grunge stamps

CT0214, WT467-Stars/Graduation Card by Benzi - fabulous colours and layout for a sophisticated congratulations card

CAS - Easter Card by ceripea - lovely spring colours and banners - *another new-to-me stamper*

Floral Multi Challenge by nancy littrell - love this sponged image and fabulous colours

LOVEFEST2014E Leafy Sympathy by Shadow's Mom - great mixture of shadowy leaves and brighter leaves

O Christmas Tree by Loll Thompson - l loaned Loll the die to make this card so I'm probably biased, but I love what she did with it!

CC466 For Colin by Shadow's Mom - cards with stars on them are really appealing to me this week, and this one is no exception!

Bird in Swamp by genesis - great use of Gorgeous Grunge stamps to create scenery for a bird

Single-layer Wetlands cards by andib_75 - CAS perfection in a trio of one layer cards

CAS260 Mother's Day Roses by Arizona Maine - a lovely embossed resist / sponged border

Now it's your turn. I'm looking forward to seeing what I missed!

Default How to add your favorites to this thread

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.


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 and hit Ctrl+V to paste your link there. Hit Enter twice to add a blank line. Repeat as many times as needed for all your links.

5. Click the Preview Post button and check that your links work. Then click the Submit Reply button.

Susan, I'm so happy you liked my Star/Graduation card and gave it a mention here with all these fabulous cards crafters have made this week.
Thanks, Karen, for being on the job. I can tell Karen is excited about the Olympics. :-)

Thanks to Sue/Odddesigns for listing my simple sympathy card- Silhouette Sympathy- among your favorites this week. I haven't posted in a month, so it's such a boost that anyone is looking at my stuff. I appreciate this so much.

Here are my CAS favorites from this week -- can't wait to go back and see what the rest of you selected as I feel like my Gallery gazing time was very limited this week...

Floral Multi-challenge by nancy littrell
Loved the beautiful colors in Nancy's spray of stenciled flowers

Graphic Birthday by Loll Thompson
I really love the combination of the black botanic die cut paired with the cork and white panels.

Good Things by naturecoastcrafter
The soft colors in the focal image of this one-layer beauty captured my heart right away

Sending Love by Arizona Maine
This card is probably my favorite of all my favorites from this week. Everything about it is stunningly beautiful.

Butterfly by Biggan
Love the doodled butterfly and REALLY LOVE the bright warm orange sponging

Thank you Angie and Karen for letting me know Robin, Vicki, and Mary and Fionna fave'd my cards this week. It's always a thrill - but now Sundays are a busy family day and I will have to give up the Sunday Fun of the favourite's galleries, at least for now.


I will always try to leave a happy comment as I go through the gallery during the week .
