CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for Week Ending 6/18/17

[swldebbie]

It's my turn to start the thread this week. I don't know about your neck of the woods, but here in Chicagoland, summer weather has DEFINITELY arrived with a vengeance. It's thundering right now and the weather team says that these storms will usher in some decidedly more temperate weather for Father's Day and a good bit of next week. In any case, I'm grateful that I have air conditioning available at home, at work and in my car.

That being said, let's get this party started! Here are my CAS favorites from this past week:

F4A382 Happy Beerth Day by die cut diva
I loved the classic layout and found it a perfect image for a guy card, whether for Father's Day, or his beerthday. And, if he's not a beer drinker, well then fill that puppy up with some golden gingerale!

Wish Big- CAS Watercolour Challenge by k dunbrook
There is nothing I don't love about Karen's card - the layout is great, I LOVED the confidence of the silhouetted girl and I really liked the birds extending out from her focal panel.

Going over a Stencil Twice by susanbri
Susan's pretty colors and classic layout really caught my eye.

SugarPea Sweet Peeks - Day 5 (Squeeze) by Ardyth
The whimsy of Ardyth's cheery lemons just made me smile.

Love Bugs on the Moon by AMGassman *** NEW-TO-ME-STAMPER ***
These love bugs perched on the moon tickled me.

Enjoy your special day! by TreasureOiler
Dawn's multicolor dragonfly looks fabulous paired with the kraft card base and her sun/moon is very creative.

CAS Bold Squares by jeanmanis
Jean's die cut panels and color palette really came together for a striking card. (So striking that my wish list just got a little longer!)

With Sympathy by Zoie
I can't call out one particular thing that caught my eye on this beauty. It was just a case that as soon as I laid eyes on it, there was no question that it was destined for my Favorites folder. FABULOUS sympathy card.

AJVD - Father's Day (Leaf) by Ardyth
Ardyth always seems to have the most interesting layouts. I loved the wavy sentiment and her use of color to divide up her card visually.

CC639 Sweet Birthday Wishes by beesmom
Maura didn't disappoint on this festive, tasty looking birthday card.


Now it's your turn - what CAS cards from last week caught your eye?

Thank you so much for favoring my Sea Turtle card, Julia. To say I was stunned to see my card mentioned here would be an understatement! It really is an honor. Karen, thank you so much for letting me know, and Debbie for taking time to start this thread.

Graduation with Total Honors!!!! by Chatterbox-1

[kiagc]

Thanks so much Priscilla for listing Happy Summer - so sweet and appreciated.

Thanks Karen for sending the news.

[k dunbrook]

...bump...

[Chatterbox-1]

Thank you Karen, so much for honoring my Graduation with Total Honors in CAS Favorites. I am excited...what an honor...my heart feels glad! I haven't been at my craft table much or computer because of total knee replacement. This was just one of two absolutely necessary cards I've made since surgery....therefore, I am tickled for it being Favorited, as it was a labor of love!!

My thanks also go to Debbie for hosted the CAS Favorites for the week ending June 8th. Without all the moderators help, where would we all be!


I will get back just a bit later with my favorites...after a peek at my computer.

Glad you are getting back to stamping Carlene...I just do the notifications and it was Pam post #27 who linked up your card.
happy stamping,
Karen

[Oddesigns]

Thanks, Angie (grateful2besaved) for choosing my llama card, and Priscilla (catluvr2) for choosing my fish more card.

My day has been made.


Thanks, Karen, for letting me know.


I've been running nonstop since Sunday and am just checking back with SCS now. My life is settling down and I'm finally done switching to Evernote and clearing out my stash, so I can get back to making cards and browsing the gallery. Feels good.

[Chatterbox-1]

Oops! I misread...I did not remembered what I was doing, I guess, too many meds...LOL. My initial thanks for honoring my card should have gone to Pam (grateful2bsaved)...and I do thank you so much for choosing my Graduation with Total Honors!!!! by Chatterbox-1 as a favorite in the CAS Weekly Favorites...it is truly an honor. All words in post #30 belong to you as well! Sorry about the misread!

[jeanmanis]

Thank you Debbie for including my card on your list and to Karen for letting me know!
