Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the week ending Saturday, January 27, 2024
It was a great week of challenges on SCS - this week's CAS challenge was Winter Birds and I love birds as a theme on cards, so I've got several of them amongst my favourites, and the Ways to Use It challenge was Dogs and I am a lifelong dog lover, so of course I've added a few from that challenge too.
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.

Thank you so much for mentioning my card in the favorites of the week. I added a video to the post so that there would be instructions on how to make it.
You are all AMAZING and I'm so glad to be back with you all after a difficult few years!
Love,
