CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for the week ending Sunday, December 13, 2015

[fionna51]

I love this thread every week. So much fun to see what all of you chose...and to see what I missed, of course.

Before I share my faves, I'll remind you that on Jan 1 we will have a special thread for you to share your favorites of the YEAR! We've done this for several years now and it is SO much fun!

Here's some of my faves from the week...

[fionna51]

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.


Need help linking your Favorites? Follow these steps:

1. Load this week's Favorites thread in your first browser tab. Scroll down and click the Go Advanced button.

2. Open a second tab (or a separate window). Go to the Gallery and click on "My Favorites."

3. Click on a card you have saved. At the top, highlight the web address. Hit Ctrl+C to copy.

4. Switch back to the first tab and hit Ctrl+V to paste your link there. Hit Enter twice to add a blank line. Repeat as many times as needed for all your links.

5. Click the Preview Post button and check that your links work. Then click the Submit Reply button.

Thanks Lisa for including Oh Come on your list and Sue for your kind words and about my cards!

[Anne Ryan]

Fiona, thank you so much for mentioning my card. I am humbled by your shout out. You are a wonderful crafter yet I've not seen much of your work. Hopefully, you'll be able to change that after the first of the new year, if not sooner. Many thanks.

I have to acknowledge I always place all my cards in the general favorites rather than CAS. I need to apologize. I hope everyone looks at both galleries because there's stampers like me that are easily confused.

Thanks Karen for the pm. Greatly appreciated.

Have a wonderful week everyone. Hugs, Anne

[beesmom]
