CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for the week ending Sunday, April 10, 2016

[fionna51]

Happy April! Finally! Spring has sprung...

Reminds me of the verse I learned as a kid: Spring has sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where them flowers iz.

I think I'm getting too tired!

Here's some of my favorites from this week:
Micheline Jourdain
hobbydujour
atsamom
jeanmanis
Loll Thompson
Ardyth
bearpaw
kaboodle72 *a new-to-me stamper*
JBgreendawn
Biggan

Your turn! I'm sure I missed some beauties...

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.

Here are mine - I know a few have been mentioned, but they deserve the extra kudos!

CASology 192 - Sprout by Ardyth
LOVE Ardyth's cute little interactive beet card. Sooooo stinkin' cute!

Rest Relax Recover kth by kthaman
Karen's get well card should make anyone feel better - liked how she gave the impression of movement with her image.

mojo monday 436 by va.sunshine
I really liked how Teresa took a classic CAS design and made it her own with her flowers.

Your Friendship card by Scrapawayg3
Gayatri's card is perfect CAS with a twist - where the white space isn't white at all!

IALT9 - Special Treasures by Ardyth
Another winner from Ardyth - love the vibrant colors and her unique technique for coloring her blooms (yeah, ya gotta check it out to find out - I'm not telling! LOL!)

Sorry to Hear You're Under the Weather by Bar
I want to live where Barbara's card lives - because I've got to say - the rainy day outside my window isn't nearly as inviting as the rainy day suggested by her fun, colorful card!

Picture Perfect Botanicals by amyk3868
Amy's card is a CAS stunner in soft, beautiful colors.

IC540 - Floral Gratitude by girlgeek101
Love EVERYTHING about Audrie's card!

Jazzy cats by Micheline Jourdain
Just got my own set of PB Jazzy Cats stamps and have been going ga-ga all week over Mimi's cards using them. This one, in particular, was a favorite.
