CAS69 - Heroes (May 31)
 

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


There are different ways people view CAS. It is very subjective. There is no list of rules that will fit everyone’s personal definition. The following are possible guidelines, only. Please do not feel afraid of playing in the CAS challenge or debate with yourself if you’ve created a CAS card. If it is a CAS card to you, put CAS in the keyword box.


1. Clean: the design is uncluttered with lots of white or open space. Simple: having a clear focal point without a lot going on to detract from it.

OR
2. simple in design regardless of the number of embellishments or how long it takes to color, stitch or to use a special technique

OR
3. can be copied and mass produced fairly quickly… usually without a lot of coloring, layers, embellishments, tools and/or techniques

OR
4. any combination of the above


************************************************** *******
This is both a sad and an exciting week. It's sad because it's the last week for the spring 2010 CAS design team. I have enjoyed working with these ladies and will miss them. It's also exciting because on Friday I will announce our new DT for the summer! Thank you to all who have participated in the DT search and in the weekly challenges. Without you, this wouldn't be so much fun. :D

CAS Theme Challenge: Heroes
On Memorial Day in the USA, we honor the people who have served in the armed forces and lost their lives. Today, I thought it would be fun to honor them and/or our everyday heroes at home. I chose to make my card for my husband.

Shame on me! I don't think I have any patriotic stamps. I do have star, maybe I could work something up with them. Or I might have to make a card for Dad's day for my daughter (she is the ultimate Daddy's Girl).

Happy (early) Anniversary! Sorry you can't spend it together. I'm grateful for his service to our country.
Hugs,
Val

Awesome challenge! :)

Here's Mine: THANK YOU!

Thanks for a great challenge, Jen. And an even bigger thanks to all of those men and women sacrificing for our country, especially all the SCSers who are keeping the home fires burning.

You're My Super Hero!

Love the theme you chose for this challenge! Here's my card

Hands Of A Hero

Nice to stop and take some time to reflect! Here's my Poppies.

I have a couple hero cards - both that I'll be sending to Operation Write Home. The eaglet card is a digi from the OWH blog hop this weekend, and the red,white, and blue hedgie is just because he's cute! :-)

Hey there!
Once I realized I had a suitable sentiment for this challenge, I went ahead and made two cards with it:
Simple Hero
and
Homespun Hero

Enjoy!

Another great challenge Jen, especially when it makes us take a step back and really appreciate the people in our lives.
here is my card:
My Everyday Hero

Great challenge. Here is mine

CAS 69 Heroes
 

Here is a basket of red, white & blue flowers to honor those who have fought and are fighting to insure our freedom. It's not very CAS. Hope I won't be booed too bad!

Great work, stampers! I am so inspired by all that I saw!

FYI-- There are some free digi's on my blog that would be great for this challenge. http://sayitwithstampsbyjen.blogspot.com/

Here's my simple card - glad to be ahead of the game for Father's Day. Thanks, Jen!
