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 filling in again Harriet. Here's hoping Denise feels better soon! Don't know how, but I didn't see the size on the sketch so mine was actually closer to 6x3. :oops:

[NerdyBeth]

Since I'm up finishing my laundry and watching the Cardinals play a horrible game of baseball, I figured I might as well get a head start on my challenges this week.

Thanks for the challenging size! Feel Better

Since I didn't pay attention to the size I will make another in the morning

Don't worry about the size Ceal - challenges are jumping off points - you still followed the sketch!

[allee's]

I must take every chance I get to make another Christmas card! I am so far behind this year!

Here is my card!

[LMcAree]

Great sketch!! Here is my card: CAS239 by LMcAree - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[stampercamper]

FABULOUS sketch! Here's my take on it...
CAS239 Better Get Better by stampercamper - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[hobbydujour]

Thanks for hostessing, Harriet, while Denise is recuperating.

The card size was a little big for a parsimonious person like me...so I scaled it down to fit an A2 envelope...hopefully keeping your proportions.

DOODLED POPPIES

[cathymac]

Thanks, Harriet! I flipped the sketch to fit the jingle bells and added some doodles for the Technique Challenge. Here's my card:
Jingle Bells and Doodled Snowflakes

[Biggan]

Thanks! Here�s mine;

Love

TFL!
Birgit

[Clownmom]

Don't call the challenge police on me -- I'm not sure if my card is CAS enough. But here it is:

Golden Lattice

[jdmommy]

Oh Harriet! I think I hear the police in the distance!

Here's mine:

Expect Miracles

[cullenwr]

This was a fun sketch to use my doodled panel as the focal point! MY CARD

[Stamperrobin]

here is my card for this challenge although I did change the size
TLC448, CAS239 WINTER NIGHT by Stamperrobin - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[genistamps]

This is the first challenge I've done in a while. It's been hard to get back into the swing of things when school starts and I'm canning. Thanks for looking and for the great sketch.

Hi everyone....still not at my best....i had taken a few weeks of R&R and last nigth was rushed to the ER....and now today I am sans gall bladder! Was not expecting this turn of events but ya gotta keep on swimming I guess! As soon as I get home from the hospital I will get back into the swing of things for the last few summer challenges and get ready for some big changes for the fall! Thanks for the break and I'm sorry it was for longer than intended! Xoxo

Hoping for a quick and complete recovery.

Finally got my card uploaded. CAS is a bit out of my comfort zone, so I was excited to give this sketch a try. You can see my project here.

[luvs2stamp2]

here is my 8 x 4 card. Trick or Treat

[StampinAK]

Fun CAS sketch, Harriet! Here's mine with a few tweaks:

(Hope it's okay!)

[susanbri]

Here's mine, with the orientation flipped around:

Tumbling Ornaments

I realized I have lots of stamps that would work for long narrow cards so will use this sketch again - thank you!

[susie nelson]

I had a great time creating my long card. Thanks.

CAS239 - Cheers by susie nelson - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for looking.

[tmluke]

The long card proved to be a challenge. I may do another because the long card is such a challenge. Here's my card.
Get Well

[nancy littrell]

Thanks so much Harriet for hosting the challenge again. This was a really fun sketch and an excuse to make an 8 x 4 skinny card. I esp. had fun combining with this weeks CC446 color challenge and F4A188 four squares challenge. Enjoy....

Denise, I just read your post......Maybe no gallbladder will make you feel MUCH better...soon!

Take time to heal and we look forward to your return. Hugs, Nancy

Four You Triple Challenge
