CAS157 - Sketch by Nancy Littrell (2/13/12): Clean and Simple Cards

Miss Boo · 02-12-2012, 07:58 PM

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

Hey, CAS Stampers!

Are you ready for the next DT search?

Me too!

Life has been very difficult for my family and me this month and my creativity seems to have been frozen. If you have an idea for a theme, please let me know! Don't be shy. Ideas are good... the more the merrier!

Great Sketch! here is mine

Miss Seeing You by simplybeautiful - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

KY Southern Belle · 02-12-2012, 09:49 PM

You just kind of said it yourself Jen for a theme, and it's one that I haven't seen yet for this particular challenge.

Make a CAS encouragement card.

Hugs.

Brat Cards · 02-12-2012, 11:49 PM

My idea, Miss Boo, is for you to be kind to yourself and your family and know that it is okay for your creativity to take a back seat for awhile. Asking for help is wonderful wisdom. KY Southern Bell seems to have a fabulous idea for you too. I am praying for you and your family tonight.

What a great fun simple sketch. loved the idea of partial pics for something different...thanks...here is my card...CAS157, CAS, " Dragonflies of Hope " by wendy2512 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Tilly · 02-13-2012, 01:00 AM

So sorry to hear you're having a tough time Jen. You'll be in my thoughts and I hope life starts to treat you a bit better soon.
Great sketch from Nancy for the challenge this week. Hope to get something made soon as I missed last week and have done nothing crafty for over a week as my DH has been in hospital so I've been with him every day and spent a lot of time driving back and forth so got home too late and too tired. He's OK and home now taking it easy.
Some great cards posted already ladies.

Great sketch Nancy! Here's my card...
CAS157 Blossom Builders by stampercamper - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Jen...take care of yourself and your family! That's the #1 priority. My thought for the theme (probably because it is COLD here) is Chase the Chills Away -- that would be either a get well or a hoping for spring kind of theme.

Hi MIss Boo. I'm sorry you and your family have been having a rough time. It's ok to take a break. People like me really appreciate people like you who come up with these challenges because it feeds our creativity. I have an idea. I don't know if you'd want to use it. I don't know how to send it to you. If you are interested help me out and I'll send you my idea. I hope all goes better for you and your loved ones.
