Clean and Simple Favorites for Week Ending July 5, 2009
First, let me thank Karen Dunbrook for starting last week's thread while I was on vacation. Karen has been an enthusiastic supporter of CAS from the beginning, and she goes above and beyond commenting in the gallery. Plus, she's a really sweet and thoughtful person, too! Thank you, Karen!
Second, for newcomers to this thread, I invite any and all to post links to your favorite clean and simple cards from this past week's gallery. Clean and simple cards often get lost in the gallery, so remember to use the CAS acronym as a keyword when you upload your cards so people can find them easily when they search. And don't forget, there is another weekly favorites thread where you can post any and all sorts of favorites, not just CAS. Third, (finally!) my favorites list this week is pretty long given how little time I had to search the gallery (I spent less than 30 minutes in the gallery this week and still came up with a bunch!). I can't wait to see some of the beauty I missed. CAKath used SU's new Thanksgiving set beautifully Creative Daze posted a fun best wishes card mudflapmamma is right...it's 5:00 somewhere, and her card is too cute! robertachic posted a chic black and white card with a touch of glitter Vera's OLC with sparkly stars is wonderfully CAS krystie lee, always a CAS genius, posted a lovely little one card this week cindybstampin made a soft and clean card with Thoughts and Prayers that made me gasp artystamper posted a totally fun OLC alimarbles totally wowwed me with her clean and simple collage card craftycaro posted a sweet friend to friend card hskelly posted this stunning card with a diagonal design scheme that is simply brilliant lisahenke used Define Your Life on a fabulous card To all the Americans here at SCS, I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend and ask that you remember the men and women who serve our country at home and abroad. We remember the sacrifice of the founders of our country often, but it's easy to forget that their spirit lives on in the military service and their families today. God Bless America! |
Thanks to YOU Susan for really turning our focus to how wonderful CAS can be! You have been my inspiration for a long time! And thanks for starting up the CAS faves thread every week...It is one of the highlights of the week (in fact I have been lurking since 4:45 this morning waiting for your thread to go up!)
Here are some of my favorites for this week. I'll try to make them all different from Susan's...

Thank you Jen and Diane for mentioning my Inspiration card from Saturday...who would have thought that I, the queen of layers and embellishments, would end up on the clean and simple favorites list, LOL!! You girls made my day though, thank you!!

Oh my gosh, I'm listed on this thread few times today- woo! hoo! Thanks go out to both Susan and Jen for mentioning a few of my cards from this week. Can you tell my DD is out of town? I have had much more time to stamp, so thanks for the acknowledgement, Ladies. And, thanks to all my Splitcoast sisters for your inspiration.
|
Thank you Diane for mentioning my card!!
That really means SOOOOOOO much to me :) |
Reading Susan's intro got me to thinking, I probably link too many cards that people wouldn't consider CAS. I see the clean part and sometimes neglect the simple part. So I just made a card and didn't put CAS in the keywords. I was too unsure. It looks clean enough to me, but there may be too many layers and ribbon tabs. I'm not looking for comments... but what do you think?

WOW is all I can say!! :-D Thanks to Karen (k dunbrook) for mentioning my IC card as a CAS fave! (I'm very confused right now, can you tell?) Actually Diane (fionna51) listed it on CAS fave list, but I noticed it from Karen in her comment to me!! I didn't even know this thread existed!!!
CAS is not easy for me, but once in awhile I pull it off!! I'll have to check all the other faves too!! Thanks again Karen! |

I just put the intro on this thread because lots of people still don't know what CAS means exactly, and I wanted to make sure newbies to this thread understand what it's all about. I also wanted to plug the original favorites thread because it's a wonderful place to find all sorts of great cards (though they do tend toward more complicated, layered pieces...hence the need for this thread;)) Clear as mud?:D |
Here's a few great ones I found...

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don't think this one by lisabeepianolovin has.
|

|
Lots of beautiful cards this week, ladies! I didn't have time in the gallery until today, but I was so happy to have this thread to make it easy to see some CAS highlights.
|
|
Thank you so much Miss Boo for linking my card!! And to LateBlossom for letting me know. I had no idea this thread existed - I haven't read much of the forums yet, but I think I will begin now! Thanks again!
