Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the week ending November 3, 2013
Happy Sunday, but could someone help me...How did it get to be November? This is such a busy and wonderful time of the year, it is a pleasure to see all of the CAS goodness gracing the galleries this week.
I thought that I would start with some amazing Christmas & winter cards that wowed me:
sistersandie's Glass Bauble kicked a clean design up a notch
hobbydujour's Peace Love & Joy is a serene take on bold colors
djlab's CE Berries is a kraft delight
k dunbrook's The Spirit of Christmas is clean perfection and a delight to behold
catdidit's Group Thank You is inspiration for the days after our upcoming holidays
jandjccc's Grace is welcoming with creatively fun details
ceedee's Rustic Wreath is breathtaking in neutrals
darhm's 3D Seeing Christmas star rose above a star-studded gallery
Biggan's Merry Christmas highlights her perfect little star with a bit of white
Some stellar cards that were not holiday themed:
Boss's Wetland's Goose uses judicious color and perfect balance
AnniePanda's Inspire Beauty showcases ethereal echoes
DandI93's Kind Thanks is a masked marvel
and last but not least, the amazing Holstein's Rhonda's Wedding is pure perfection
Now it's your turn! If you saw some CAS creations that really tickled your fancy - pay it forward and share them with us! If you are new to sharing on this thread or simply need a refresher refer to the next post for instructions.
Thanks for inspiring us with your beautiful and creative CAS work. Have a peaceful week.

Actually, it should be ending the 3rd. You should be able to edit your title line, but if not, give a shout to Lydia and she can fix it.
Here's my faves for this week. Marie mentioned a lot of the ones I have in my folder...including the lovely cards by hobbydujour , k dunbrook , ceedee , Biggan , and AnniePanda

What an awesome surprise it was to open my email and discover a message that my Wetlands Goose card got picked as a CAS Fav of the Week! Thank you, Marie, for choosing it and for your kind and inspiring words.
And thank you, Karen, for the email with the good news!
Thank you, Susan and Loll, for mentioning my cards among your favorites. I still find CAS one of the hardest styles to do....and hopefully, to do well. So your nods really thrill me. A BIG thank you, Karen, for all the notifying you do and giving of your time on a Sunday. Hugs, Sallie
Thanks, Loll, for giving me the opportunity to do my mental happy dance this morning. I so appreciate you mentioning my St. Nick card in your list of favorites from last week. Thanks, too, to Karen for the notification. I appreciate that you not only let us know, but you always include a nice comment of your own with the notification. You ladies are the best!!!
Here is my list for this past week:
CAS244 Torn Jack by Lisa Lara Such a clever idea -- I could almost believe there was a real candle inside the card lighting him up!
CAS244 Merry Christmas by Biggan Birgit's cards often find their way into my favorites. I loved the vintage look of this CAS beauty.
Believe by KayM This card just made me smile when I saw it. I particularly liked the layout and the use of the fancy edge die cut.
CCC13 Nov - Golden Joy by ceedee Who says CAS has to be flat? This beauty is proof positive that layers and texture and CAS are not mutually exclusive things.
Marie and Loll . Thanks soooo much for your mention of my two cards in the cas favorites. You both have made my week!!!! Doing the happy, happy dance. Thanks Karen for your time to let me know. Hugs, Linda
