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
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Congratulations to Harriet, Anne, and Lisa. I'm so happy for you three personally, but I'm even happier for the rest of us to have such fine CAS stampers inspiring us the next three months!
And to all who applied but didn't make the DT this time around...APPLY NEXT TIME! Good grief, the CAS talent here is amazingly numerous! I was just blown away seeing all the entries.
I won't have time to play until tomorrow late afternoon, :( but can't wait to do this challenge. I LOVE LandsEnd summer stuff! WoooHoooo! Thanks for a great challenge, Jen!
Whoohooooo Congrats to you all!!! I cant wait to see all the wonderful things you are going to share with us....I LOVE the creations posted tonight!! Lets hear it for the CAS Summer Team!
Edited to add- Congratulations ladies! I posted my card to this thread without actually *reading* it first. I am excited to see all the fresh new designs that the CAS DT comes up with! Best wishes and big congrats! Here is mine:
I've been MIA for several weeks (overseas move), but I finally have a bare-bones stamping space set up (just got my desk on Friday) - so this week I get to play! Here's my card:
Yet another great challenge, and a great new team to go with it! Hooray!
Here's my contribution for the week -- this is one of my go-to layouts, and I think it totally works with the beach towel I was inspired by. Thanks again!
