Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the week ending Saturday, December 4th, 2021

mfb · 12-04-2021, 03:37 PM

mfb · 12-04-2021, 03:38 PM

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.
Clean and Simple design is:
* Uncluttered,
* has lots of white or open space, and
* has 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 you have favorites that don't fit the Clean and Simple thread, we encourage you to share them on the regular Favorites thread.

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 Forums at Splitcoaststampers

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.

In my time away from uploading to the gallery I had forgotten about the Favorites thread. What a pleasant surprise to be notified that one of my cards listed! Thank you for the uplifting start to my day. Thanks to those who do the work to start the threads and those who notify the crafters who are listed. Much appreciated.

Here are a few beauties that caught my eye this week...
The sketch challenge this week was great for many CAS cards including:

Claudia: Christmas Scripture by cjzim at Splitcoaststampers
Roberta: Hedgehog Making a Snowman Hedgie~ by stampin'nana at Splitcoaststampers

Love the white space on these:

Michelle: CC869 Pine Cones by mfb at Splitcoaststampers
Lorraine: Warm Hugs by yorkshire lass at Splitcoaststampers
Debbie: CAS Christmas Elf by swldebbie at Splitcoaststampers
Lisa: F4A615 CCC21DEC Christmas Woods by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers

And the simplicity of the images against these coloured bgs:

Lisa: DEC21VSNMINI3 Great Joy by lovinpaper at Splitcoaststampers
Misti: CAS666 O Holy Night by Scraperwannabe at Splitcoaststampers

Love the symbolism on this meaningful card:

Karen: IC835 ~ Mother's Love by Redbugdriver at Splitcoaststampers

And who can resist another sweet House Mouse image:

CarrollAnn: WT873 Spitting Image by ~CA~ at Splitcoaststampers

All I have had time to do lately is finish up Christmas cards. It's wonderful to know that someone sees them when I add them to the CCC thread. Thank you so much Shirl for putting all of these cards on your list. You are a sweet friend.
