Clean and Simple Favorites for the week ending Sunday, September 14,2014

[fionna51]

Good morning all...and happy fall!

I can say that because we've had our first freezes...31 and 28 degrees...and have seen the first snow in the foothills. I love fall!

Here's a collection of the beautiful CAS cards I saved to my favorites this week.

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.

Wow, thank you Diane for listing my card in CAS favs - what a surprise. I am ever so pleased and it just goes to show how a fumble can be a good thing. Thanks again, Kia

One good thing about having my foot in a sling is that I had all the time in the world to browse the gallery this week, and I have my favorites selected early.

Diane mentioned a few, but here's more:
