Clean and Simple (CAS) favorites for the week ending July 8, 2012

[fionna51]

Welcome!
This is the thread where everyone shares the lovely CAS creations that they have favorited this week. I really like seeing what everyone has found...particularly since you all point out beauties that I have missed! So be sure to join in and share.

So, 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

Here's some of my faves for this week:

versamom

Loll Thompson

Arizona Maine

resqbarbie

Biggan

2ndhandstamps

rosigrld

kthaman

stampinandrea

Chupa
