Hustle & Bustle: The Winter 2010/2011 DT Search is Here!
The Hustle & Bustle of the Holiday Season is here! There are lines everywhere! Get in line here with your first challenge entry!
To enter the competition for the next Clean & Simple DT, make a CAS card following the instructions below. And then post in this thread with a link to your card.
CHALLENGE #1
Keeping up with the Jones's: Have you ever seen neighbors trying to outdo each other with the holiday decorations? It's fun to sight-see, but I wouldn't want their electricity bill!
Make a CAS card with a decoration theme. It can be for any holiday or even a birthday. Please add ribbon and some sort of bling.... the challenge is to still keep it clean & simple.  Style and beauty/cuteness is always important, but the CASness of the cards will be viewed heavily in the first elimination judging since basically it's challenging to keep it that way and there are a lot more cards I have to sadly eliminate.  (Our current definition for a CAS card is near the bottom of this post.)
Keyword: CASwinter10KJ
(No spaces CAS winter 10 KJ -- not good. If you are concerned about getting it right, copy & paste it into your keyword box.)
Please also post a link in this thread just in case there is an error with the keyword or if the gallery is being finicky on the judging days.
Submission Deadline: Friday, Nov. 19 @ 10 PM (EST)
New Rules as of Fall 2010:
Please don't combine this challenge with any other current SCS challenge.
Please make only one card. (It's easier to narrow down the field this way.)
Sample #1 - Very CAS
Sample #2 - CAS with a bit more dimension
Sample #3 - starting to push the limits on CAS
Challenge #1 Gallery

Standard Expectations for a DT member: I need you to post your sample for each challenge on Sunday evening between 10PM-11PM EDT. You may miss 1 or 2 weeks do to illness or emergencies. You will be participating in choosing the challenges for the season during your 2nd week as a DT member. When the season is ending and a new DT search is going on, I would like you to help with the judging, especially in the final round.
CAS Winter Design Team Schedule (December '10 - February '11)
In addition to the three new DT members, there will be a guest designer each week. If you would like only to be considered as a guest designer, please let us know on the thread and/or in the comment section of your card when uploading.
************************************************
What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple. Below is the reworded definition.
It's all about the design.
* not the technique
* not the tools
* not the embellishments
It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point
It's all about the design.
Clean & Simple
***********************************************
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
Need help linking a card? Follow these instructions!
1. Open 2 windows: One window for your card and one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
You’re done!

Crazy Relatives: Every family has at least one crazy relative... right? I hope it's not just us!
Make a CAS card for a family member. It doesn't have to be a December holiday card. It can be a card for a birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. But it must have a title (mother, husband, son, etc.) It is also okay just to have the title without the sentiment. The title does not have to be stamped. It can be written or computer generated.
Keyword: CASwinter10CR
(No spaces CAS winter 10 CR -- not good. If you are concerned about getting it right, copy & paste it into your keyword box.)
Please also post a link in this thread just in case there is an error with the keyword or if the gallery is being finicky on the judging days.

Please make only one card. (It's easier to narrow down the field this way.)
I didn't have time to make new cards. Here's a sample just using the title without the sentiment.

Challenge #1
For some reason, as soon as I heard the "Decoration" theme, I thought of this Hero Arts stamp set with the bird carrying an ornament. Normally, it takes me a million years to come up with an idea.

Thanks for the prompt and the challenge Miss Boo!! No matter what happens, I had a great time creating cards today!

Yeah, it feels like that for me too! We've been here barely 2 years; but we knew that going in. This next move is "permanent" (the quotes because, with my husband, no location is permanent, lol). We're off to Colorado. I'm very excited about this move!

Thanks jen for the reminder for these challenges. I've been so busy with all the wonderful Hope challenges that I haven't had the time for CAS ones here. Been looking in just the same.
Here's a quick little card I made up when I got home today

I thought it would be fun to try this challenge again, so many of you talented CAS stampers are a great inspiration!
What a great theme, thanks, Jen. Here's my card.

Style and beauty/cuteness is always important, but the CASness of the cards will be viewed heavily in the first elimination judging since basically it's challenging to keep it that way and there are a lot more cards I have to sadly eliminate. 
(Our current definition for a CAS card is near the bottom of this post.)
