[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.

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."

Yes, Benzi, really snow! I'm not even in the mountains...just right next to them. The notorious route over the mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park is closed because the snow is too deep, and a week ago the higher mountains were white, white, white! So pretty! But I LOVE snow and winter. I know, I'm weird!

[kiagc]

Many thanks Brenda for listing Bell of Peace in your faves for the week ... so very appreciated.

Thanks also to Karen for sending me the news on this our Canadian Thanksgiving.

[beesmom]

Diane and Brenda - thanks so much for the shout-out, I am honored and grateful, my friends!

And thanks Karen, for the happy mail!

I thought you would like snow. Oh my stars, I HATE winter but like snow. Of course, we get very little. Enjoy your winter....I know you will. I would agree that anyone liking winter is weird but that wouldn't be nice and I know you aren't weird. Happy winter!!!!
