Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the Week Ending August 29, 2010
 

Welcome to the Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites of the Week Thread! For those who've never been here before, this is the place to share whatever clean and simple cards or projects you favorited in the gallery over the past week. Just post links so the rest of us can see!

And if you get a little extra time, please leave some comments for CAS cards. I encountered quite a few beautiful cards this week that had very few comments. Let's share some love!

Here are my favorites to get us started:

Jennifer Styles was on a roll this week with her Home Sweet Home card and a bunch of other wonderful CAS creations, especially this one-layer Noel card

girlgeek101 made an amazing and softly suble sea shell card that sparkled its way into my favorites

LynniePoo posted a gorgeous cascading butterflies card

Biggan's Summertime Food card made me want to get a spoon! Her butterfly freedom card is also a stunner!

texan947 created a lovely desert window scene with a bit of tulle and gold ribbon

Kim66 used my favorite tree set...Trendy Trees...on her lovely be-ribboned birthday card

JulieHRR used some really bold color PERFECTLY on her beautifully designed You Are My Anchor card

lisaadd made a one-layer card with a happy sunflower border and shows how you can take a smudged card and create perfection!

keuby's Star Bright card is one-layer CAS perfection

mepylant created a stunning setting for the SU bird punch

kstamper used paper piecing perfectly on her delightful DSP For You card

StampGroover used Martha's dove punch to create a stunning and stylized beach scene that made me hear the waves all the way from Ohio

Card Shark used Lovely as a Tree to create a lovely branch for her lovely and elegant ornament card

kthaman made a one-layer miss you card that is simply AMAZING!

JuilletQuatorze made a totally creative Halloween card with nontraditional colors that totally inspires me

vdutchr rose to the CAS challenge beautifully with her Thankful card

hobbydujour made a sweet card with PTI's Asian Fusion set that makes me want that set all the more so I can CASE her!

ravengirl spoke to my bibliophile heart with her stack of teacher's books card

I haven't had time to check into the CAS DT search this quarter but judging from what I bumped into in the gallery, it's going to be a tough call. So glad I'm not in on the decision because I'd pick everyone! Good luck to everyone who's participating. I'll be sad to see the current team retire...they've done an amazing job, but I also can't wait to see who the new team will be. It's all so exciting!

Also, I want to call out KY Southern Belle (aka Cindy Coutts) who is the guest artist for the Fall Take Ten Magazine! Her cards are CAS and lovely and well worth buying the magazine to see. Congratulations, Cindy!

Finally, many thanks to EVERYONE who posts to the SCS gallery! It's a fabulous place to go gathering all sorts of inspiration, and it's wonderful to see so many people enjoying the CAS style. What an amazing corner of the World Wide Web we have here!

Now it's your turn. What glorious CAS-ness did you find this week?

well I must add your card Susan I fell in love with this Love Memo by LateBlossom and plan on casing it one day!

Arrrrgggggghhhh!!!! My link to vdutchr's card goes to JuilletQuatorze's card, and it's too late to edit. I'M SO SORRY, VICKI!!!!!!!!! Here's the correct link:

Thank you SO much, Susan, for mentioniung my Asian Fusion card. I have had out-of-town guests this past week, so most of my cards were done "on the fly". I never dreamed one would be considered "mention-worthy". You have started my week with a sweet surprise! Thank you!

Thanks Diane! It's been awhile since seeing a card of mine here and I forgot how good it feels. I haven't been spending as much time in the gallery the past few months and have really missed it. Thanks again!! I need to go look at some more eye candy.
