***********************************************

What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple.

It's all about the design.
* not the technique
* not the tools
* not the embellishments

It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point

It's all about the design.

Clean & Simple

Thanks for a fun challenge. I use kraft a lot, but usually stick to more subtle colors. The bright cards in the gallery so far look wonderful. I hope to have time this afternoon to play.

I had woven the ribbon through this punched lace and didn't know what to do with it. This challenge and the Featured Stamper challenge were perfect for giving it a good home.

Thanks for the challenge Jen.

Good luck to all the DT candidates. Can't wait to see what CAS inspiration is coming our way over the next 3 months.
(Not much stamping for me this past week. Our son and family are moving to Australia soon so we're spending as much time with them as possible before they go. Got to squeeze in as many baby cuddles as possible! LOL)
