Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for Week Ending SATURDAY, June 29, 2019
In the Chicago area, we didn't have much of a Spring weather wise, but it seems that those hot and humid Summer days have found their way to us just in time for the 4th of July. Good weather to enjoy some AC in the craft room until slightly cooler temps prevail.
But enough chit-chat; we have CAS crafters to celebrate! I've listed some great CAS cards that caught my eye this week. I hope you'll check them out and then share your favorites from this past week. Trust me, it's worth your time because it really will make someone's day.
Happy Birthday by gunilla.holmqvist LOVE the design of this card with its subtle brick background adding interest but not drawing the eye away from the gorgeous die cut focal feature.
CAS539 ~ Relax by sistersandie Using a stencil or negative of a circle die is a great way to draw the eye and create a card that is easy to mail.
Rainbow Love by SandiMac Bright colors on a white base, combined with a black silhouette image gets me every time - so striking without compromising the CAS design.
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.
If you have favorites to share that don't fit as Clean and Simple, we encourage you to share those favorites in the regular Favorites Thread. I will post the thread once it is available
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 this is your first time being mentioned in this thread or you have a new blog we have blog badges found here in this post.

*** I've had very little time for commenting this week. I've been making too many Inky Paws challenge cards when at home. My hubby was injured in a fall a few days ago. He has surgery on his ankle and leg today. I'm going to try and catch up with commenting and then come back with more faves tonight.***
