Less Is More 10-26 thru 11-1

An open ended midweek challenge to give you a little bump to get through the rest of the week! Begins on Wednesday mornings.

Moderator: eoconnell

This week's Wednesday challenge is Clean and Simple. For anyone not familiar, the general rules of CAS are:
- Lots of open space (background showing)
- Limited layers & embellishments
- Quick and easy

Here's a couple examples but by all means, check out Pintrest or Google.

Haven't had a CAS challenge for quite a while. They are always a challenge for me, but I have a ton of ideas saved to Pinterest. So... count me in!
PS Your sample cards are clean and simply sweet!

Love your sample cards, Elaine. I think CAS is the way to go for a sympathy card; I feel funny about making them too frou-frou. Is it just me? Anyhow, her is my CAS card.

I've had this pattern for a woven heart basket for quite a while. Was fun to finally use it. And... it can hold chocolate?
Win win!

PS Here are a few tutorials for the woven heart. Actually pretty simple to make.
