Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the Week Ending October 30, 2011
 

Welcome to the Clean and Simple (or CAS, for short) Favorites Thread. This is the place to celebrate our favorite CAS projects that were uploaded to the gallery during the past week. Everyone is invited to participate by linking to their favorites and by commenting! Just dive right in...the water is fine!

I'll get us started!

artystamper posted this delightfully clean and simple wax paper bag for Christmas treats

stampinandrea used nontraditional colors for her fantastically soft and dreamy CAS141 Christmas card

kyann22 used lots of layers but still kept a CAS feel on her Red/Pink Christmas card with monochromatic color and very clean lines

eggette created a light and pretty Christmas card with a musical background and gorgeous poinsettia centerpiece

Tami Mayberry took brown and white and made CAS brilliance with her Happiness and Joy one-layer card

elmo98ca took black, soft dark blue, and vellum to a whole new level of Christmas card with her winter scene...who knew black diecut silhouettes would be so effective on a winter card?

hskelly made me laugh out loud with her Pickled Tink card...one layer, one stamp, brilliant!

Aimes used debossed text for a clean and simple and very effective background on her A Bird card

My time in the gallery this week was very limited, so I can't wait to see what the rest of you favorited! Please share!

And as always, thanks to all the many people who upload their work here at SCS. It takes time and effort to share, and that sharing makes this the best place anywhere to get inspiration!

Thank you so much for recognizing my card in your favorites this week!

Thank you so much, Susan! It is always so nice to wake up to a little note that someone liked your work. :)

Here's a couple of my favorites this week:

Princessforj created this amazing poinsettia card that really stunned me with all its sparkle and beauty.

tankgrl made this Oh What Fun card that caught my eye. I struggle to use die cut letters on my card and it she made it look so easy AND beautiful.
