Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for Week Ending SATURDAY, June 2, 2018
The start of a new month means it is my turn to start this week's CAS Favorites thread (Lucky me!!). After a week of being crafty almost every night last week, I found myself with no crafty time this week. I'm hoping that means that tomorrow I can spend a good chunk of time in my craft room.
While crafty time was non-existent, I did find some time to pop into the Gallery a few times this week. As usual, I was not disappointed. Here are some of the cards that captured my CAS-loving heart:
DAD You're a Star by jeanmanis I loved Jean's star border and bold sentiment - fun, but not over the top whimsical - perfect for Dad.
Patriotic Thanks by Hambo The size and font of this "thanks" works so well over the printed American flag - easy to replicate card and perfect for any active serviceman/servicewoman or veteran.
Poppy by CherylQuilts Cheryl's coloring style on this poppy caught my eye right away. The tall, narrow sentiment provides a great balance with the shape of the poppy.
Hello, Beautiful! by jeanmanis A second favorite from Jean this week. I loved the vibrant colors on her flowers and feel the light blue behind them softens the edges between the flowers and the white card base.
Now it's your turn - join the fun and share with us which CAS creations gave you joy this week.
Note: While we know you all love CAS, this doesn't mean we don't appreciate a good non-CAS card. If some of these non-CAS beauties found their way into your favorites this week, we encourage you to post them on this week's regular favorites thread.
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.

I didn't get too much time in the gallery, so here is a very short list of some beautiful cards I found. I know there are more, and perhaps I consider CAS different from others. ;)
Brenda and Cheryl - thanks so much for the mention of my hedgie Christmas card on your lists this week. It’s been a bit of a frustrating day, so it was a welcome and much appreciated surprise to find Karen’s happy mail in my Gallery. You ladies are the best!
