You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Jeanne S asked me to hostess today. She's having a fun week at CHA! And I'm thrilled to be here this week!
This week I discovered a member's gallery that is just amazing. I found her on a thread she started in General Stamping. You can see it here. In Susan's 1st post she says:
"for those of us who don't do techniques that require anything like "talent" or "skill," who don't layer our cards into inch-thick confections of pure gorgeousness, who don't have all the latest nesties or copics, who don't have coloring skills above kindergarten level, and who do love to make clean and simple and, most of all, EASY cards...please post your favorites from your own gallery, the ones that make you happy"
Susan is talking about Clean An Simple cards, otherwise known as CAS.
Today, we are filling the gallery with CAS cards! Need a little inspiration? Here's Susan's beautiful gallery. And the following are some of my favorite cards she's made.

Well...I'm up, so I decided to make another card. Mark looked at me and said, "It's 1:40...I thought you were going to bed after you uploaded that card." I said, "Hey, I'm up, and I want to make another one....Get your stopwatch and time me!" He did...This one took 9 minutes and 24 seconds! It took FOREVER to upload it! LOL!
Ok, now I am going to bed...busy day for me tomorrow.

I have been trying to accomplish the CAS effect but can never seem to pull it off. Thanks for the challenge, I will try and get a chance to play along with the challenge later this afternoon.
LOVE this challenge!! I have always found it a LOT harder to make a simple yet effective card......quick and easy AND effective is not my forte, so I was a very happy camper when I created this card all by myself. It has been a favorite card - the best thing is that it's shimmery white layered onto itself but only one time....that way you cut away the rough edges of your background stamp and just layer it right onto a shimmery white card base,,,,simple but IRL it's really beautiful cuz of the shimmery white!! Can you make something ugly on shimmery white??? GREAT REFRESHING CHALLENGE!!
