[susanbri]

Hello All,

I hope the American SCS members had a great Thanksgiving! For those of us up in Canada, it was just a regular day.

There are lots of beautiful Christmas cards showing up in the gallery so I'm very happy as they are my favourite cards! There are lots of them on my list:

Christmas CAS with First Frost by JennyStampsUp - at Splitcoaststampers - wonderful frosty greenery

A Cardinal's Song by kiagc - at Splitcoaststampers - a beautiful cardinal and one of my favourite sentiments

Meant to Be Valentine Card by amyk3868 - at Splitcoaststampers - looking ahead to Valentine's Day with a really lovely card

MIX304 Birthday Birds by Cook22 - at Splitcoaststampers - stacked stencils and sweet birds

Christmas Tree IC677 by justwritedesigns - at Splitcoaststampers - fabulous traditional Christmas colours for a tree and gifts

IC677, Cones and Pine Needles by Benzi - at Splitcoaststampers - love the pinecones with their dusting of snow and fabulous ribbon

First Frost Season of Warmth by StampinForMySanity - at Splitcoaststampers - great shades of green in the background and greenery - a "new-to-me stamper"

Santa Claus is Coming to Town by DiHere - at Splitcoaststampers - a great sense of movement in this card with Santa flying over the world

CAS508 Made with Love by Scraperwannabe - at Splitcoaststampers - as a knitter, I love this card (and will have to go out and buy the stamp!)

Warm Thanks by kiagc - at Splitcoaststampers - great snowy background for a warm beverage and sentiment

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.

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.
