Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for Week Ending January 3, 2009
Happy New Year, CAS Fans!!!
All are invited to post links their clean-and-simple favorites from the gallery the past week on this thread. Come on! Don't be shy!!!!
I'll get us started with these amazing CAS beauties:
lauraos used dp with impact in her Simple Heart card
Aimes took on Nichole Heady's scrap challenge with this stunner
star went soft and serene with her soft suede scene
ravengirl was on a roll this week, but her Shamefully Easy card totally blew me away
jesslundahl kept trying and came up with an irresistibly adorable CAS card with a single felt flower; also, check out her Christmas scrapbook page, which totally inspires me to get back to scrapping!
mjw's patience paid off with this blooming crystal effects card
biggan makes the list (again!) with her exquisite relax card...advice I bet we all could take right now!
krystie lee is back with A Muse's up-coming release and a totally adorable Fishing for Love card; her Stuck on You jellyfish card is equally amazing
Tilly made a whole set of OLC Pocket Silhouette cards that are so beautifully colorful
Susan and Karen have posted many of my favorites...so I'll add some that are different from what they already posted. Today I included a lot of "new faces" in the CAS world (at least they are new to me!)
I too would like to wish everyone a Healthy,Happy, and Creative New Year!
Susan thanks so much for mentioning my teal card. I am smiling from ear to ear and you sure have made my week! Here are a few of mine. chanteuse did a beautiful vintage Disney card Rox71 did this adorable baby shower card mmbc did this cool Valentine with non-traditional colors that was too cute! Heather T did this amazing snow scene card lorettal did this sweet lollipop girl card sparklegirl did this delicate beauty mjw did this too cute earthlings card Clownmom did this darling Fairy Birthday
I will let someone else have a turn!
I loved the tiny frame on this card by Biggan
Three of my favorites this week were by tankgrl, but they all use a new SU! set that's not released yet, so I'll try to remember to post them next week once the new stuff goes live
(Sorry for the tease! Is that bad? I don't know protocol on this one....)
There's great stuff in other people's posts, too -- what a bunch of talented folks!!

Thank you Susan and Krista for mentioning my card - it was the first one I've made in weeks - I 've had a hard time getting back into stamping so this mention means so much to me and is so encouraging! Happy new year to everyone!

Thank you so much Susan (LateBlossom) for mentioning my Devoted Friend card as one of your favorites! I'm so honored. I am going to make it a habit to contribute to this thread to showcase CAS cards this year.
I haven't had too much gallery cruising time for the past few weeks but a few did catch my eye that I'd like to share with you.
Thanks KAREN (k dunbrook) and KRISTA (KristaTracy) for mentioning my Anniversary Card -- and also HARRIET (hskelly) for mentioning my case of SmilynStef ! Sure puts a smile on my face!
Happy New Year to you all - and looking forward to another year of cardmaking with everyone!

Awww you've made my day, no, my week! Thanks so much Susan and Karen for picking up my lil' card and putting it into a spotlight!
I seriously didn't realise there was such a CAS following, including a CAS favourites post! Off to check out all the other CAS cards, it's not usually my style but I'm liking it more and more!
Karen, thank you sooooo much for mentioning my card!
The cards that have been mentioned in the other posts also get my vote for favorite! I am so inspired by everyone who contributes to the CAS category - you are all so talented!
Wow!!! Thank you SO very much for the mention in this list BTW...Lorettal is a good friend and my absolute crafting mentor. The card I made is 98.99% cased from someone else (maryloves2stamp) and I'm grateful for her creativity.
My scrap heap has been growing in leaps and bounds lately, so I've been making most cards in multiples to use up supplies and minimize scraps.
Thanks again for including me on this list! Too cool
