Clean & Simple (CAS) FAVORITES for the week ending Sept 28, 2014
It's my turn to start the CAS Favorites thread. It was fun to really check out everything in the gallery after being away for three weeks earlier in the month.
Leftover by Debby4000 - a white church window against a white brick wall beautifully embellished with gold and a poinsettia - *a second new-to-me stamper*
This thread is open to everyone and is a great way to recognize the work of SCS's many talented CAS artists. There are really only two "rules" here on the thread:
The Gallery posts you link to should be in the CAS style...
--------------------------------
And what does it mean to be Clean and Simple?
It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point
--------------------------------
...and they should be from the past week.
Did you find your way to this thread because someone listed one of YOUR creations as a favorite? In addition to saying thank you, we encourage you to pay that smile you're probably wearing right now forward by sharing a few of the cards/projects YOU favorite-ed this week.

Okay, first- My apologies to Karen. I know what goes into notifying, and I've a list that just might break her back. Figuratively speaking.
