CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for Week Ending 10/21/17
 

Hello Fellow CAS Stampers,

It's my turn to start the CAS Favorites challenge and there are lots of great cards this week, partly thanks to the extra challenges for Falliday. If you haven't participated, be sure to check it out!

Here are my favourites:

The links aren't working the way they usually do - they don't show the stamper's name or the title of the card. Not sure what's going on.

I'm sure I missed a lot of great cards as I had a busy week and am now out of town, so I'm hoping I'll see more when others list their favourites!

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.


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 and hit Ctrl+V to paste your link there. Hit Enter twice to add a blank line. Repeat as many times as needed for all your links.

5. Click the Preview Post button and check that your links work. Then click the Submit Reply button.

We hope you come check out the fun with Fallidays - HERE.

Thanks so very much Brenda and Susan, for the mention of my 'Moment' card here...such an honor...smiling.
xx Karen

Thanks so much Lisa, for the mention of my Leaf Prints card...so fun to create using nature.
xx Karen

Thank you, Shoe Girl (sorry, I don't know your real name!) for mentioning my card as a favorite! Makes my day, for sure! :)

Thanks so much, Brenda (Benzi) for the mention of my "Miss You" panda card. It may be raining outside my apartment, but inside, you've ensured that it is sunny, sunny, sunny! Thanks, too, to Karen for letting me know the happy news.

Keeping the happy going with my list of CAS faves:
Butterflies by Rambling Boots
Love the muted colors and all the visual interest included in this CAS collage.

Fall Friday Week #8 by Cookielady01 *** NEW-TO-ME-STAMPER ***
Joyce's card set is just stunning.

Dina for Falliday 2017
I'm pretty sure I'll be CASEing this cutie this holiday season.

FF17stampmommaB Wonderful Gift by DCinkit
And, speaking of CASEing, I already have some things laid out on my stamp table to make a card inspired by this one.


FF17UnderstandblueA by fionna51
The first of 2 of Diane's great CAS projects that made it to my Faves list this week. Loved the layout of this one, the pretty bottom BG and the colors for the focal image.

FF17bejoyce African sunset by fionna51
And the 2nd of Diane's cards to jump into my faves folder this week. Love the bright colors and the placement of the sentiment - too often I get used to always putting it below the focal panel, but I love how it looks above it.

FS559 - Love You by Ardyth
I loved how Ardyth's asymmetrical layout added to the impact of the bold LOVE in her sentiment.

FF17UnderstandBlueB My Christmas Motto by JenniFrann
This one gets my "smile award" this week - I just don't know how you can look at this fun card and not start to chuckle.

Thanks to all for the CAS inspiration

Thank you to SusanBri for mentioning my card Krafty Gingerbread among her favorites of the week. Very appreciated, Susan!
