Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the week ending SATURDAY, November 11, 2017
It's my turn to start the Clean and Simple Favorites thread this week. This thread is for everyone to share their CAS favorites for the week that began on Sunday the 5th and ends today, Saturday the 11th.
If you have favorites that aren't Clean and Simple, we encourage you to share those in the regular Favorites thread.
Now, there's another issue going on tonight. I don't want to scare you or anything, but your (and everyone else's) Favorites folder is empty, except for what you fave'd today. It has been reported to the techie folks but it may not be fixed right away. Please join in when you can. Kia (who is starting the regular Faves thread) and I are going through the last 7 days posts and picking up our faves through browsing. That's so that we can give you something to look at!
So, here's some of my CAS faves from the past week. I may add more later.
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.
If this is your first time being mentioned in this thread or you have a new blog we have blog badges found here in this post.
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. Type the cardmaker's SCS name, add a couple of spaces and hit Ctrl+V to paste your link there. Hit Enter twice to add a blank line.
5. Repeat as many times as needed for all your links.
6. Click the Preview Post button and check that your links work. Then click the Submit Reply button.
I am happy to be back this week with my favorites. I am so incredibly blessed to have a very talented marching band member in the Avon Marching band. They took 3rd place at Grand Nationals last night.
Thank you Diane for starting the thread. Thank you Karen for volunteering your time to send the notifications for the amazing crafters on this thread. We really appreciate you taking the time. I tried to find some of the cards I added to my favorites this week but I am sure I missed some. I sure hope these techies can get rid of these gremlins.
Thank you, Carla (Covington Crafter) for listing my card, Be Still, in your favorites. So happy you liked it.
Thank you Karen for the notification. So appreciate your work on SCS.

Thank you Diane for starting our CAS Favorites Thread...with all our fav's having disappeared it was more time consuming than normal. I will have to look for mine later. Hugs..
Thank you, Susan, for including my card on your list. I am thrilled and most appreciative. Thank you, Karen, for letting me know and giving of your time each Sunday to bring the "happy news". Hugs, Sallie
I was just over at the Favorites thread as Maura listed one of my cards there, and she has a great suggestion we can use while we have the problems with our Favorites folders being invisible. Here's what she wrote:
"Before I list my faves I wanted to explain a system I have for preparing my "faves" that may be helpful if we continue to have difficulties with the forum. I keep a running document in Microsoft Word all week and anytime I "fave" a card, I copy the URL, switch over to my document, write the person's name (I didn't have to do that before our other problem), paste the URL and save the document - it goes really fast when you do it one card at a time all week. Then on Sunday I just copy and paste the whole document and I am good to go!"

Angie (ohmypaper!), thank you so much for listing my card, No Poinsettias Here, as one of your favorites. I am thrilled.
After losing mine, I just didn't have time to search for them again. So sorry everyone.
Thank you to Karen for the notification.

Thank you so much Diane (fionna51) and Susan (susanbri) for favouriting my Quiet Night card here where so many amazing cards are mentioned! I really appreciate it. Karen (k dunbrook) gets a hug for letting me know. It was her card that inspired mine ...so extra thanks for that too!

What a lovely surprise? Thank you so much Angie for liking my card & a lovely than you to Karen for letting me know the great news. Feeling very honoured as the cards are all gorgeous. Slowly making my through them all & leaving some love.
Whoohoo...just checked out my fav's gallery ...they are back. Still like the idea of a file with name of member and url of card that can be added during the week. Will make it much quicker to add to either the CAS or non CAS Favorites Threads Hugs __________________
Awww Brenda (tessaduck)! Thanks so much for picking Quiet Night as one of your favourites this past week! Thank you very much Karen (k dunbrook) as well for the notification! You Ladies are the best!
Thanks to Susan, Nancy and Lisa for the shout-out earlier this week, and I want to say that I am especially grateful to you all this week because I know how frustrating and time consuming it was for everyone to find their faves - thank you friends!!!
