ATS&M Challenge #74 - CAS

Hello friends, did you get some shopping done over the Black Friday weekend?  I did a little but not as much as I'd like.  I'm not an "early bird gets the worm" kind of gal (that means I don't do early morning anything) and I was too stuffed with turkey and all the good stuff to want to go out and shop on Thanksgiving evening.  So I missed out on a lot of the really early in the day sales and after a couple hours of dodging people and not finding what I wanted, I decided that I might have better luck on line and that I'd rather be crafting :o)   I did listen to the new Duck Dynasty CD and found it to be surprisingly good - who knew they were such good singers??

Anyway, hope you are all doing well and are ready to play in our next challenge at  Addicted to Stamps and More! ATSM Challenge #74 is CAS (Clean And Simple).  We have a terrific sponsor this week (who is also offering a prize of 5 digital images to our TOP ADDICT). 
 
Here's my DT card (using sponsor image):
 
 I used a larger image and made it the focus of my card, but still kept it CAS (CAS defined - minimal layers and few (or none) embellishments, lots of white space).   
 
I'm also entering this in the following challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenges - X is for Out of the Box (NO Squares allowed)
Creative Card Crew Challenge 50 - Sweet Treats
CAS.ology - Week 73 - Ribbon
 
The rest of the DT at ATS&M have made some wonderful CAS creations to share with you this week for ATS&M #74 - CAS - I hope you will go visit and see what they've made. 
 
Will you be joining us this week at ATS&M?  I sure hope so! Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D

  2. Firstly, I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. I'm a bit like you where I would prefer to just jump online to shop or do some craft ;)

    I LOVE this, Danielle and the sentiment is just PERFECT. I didn't realise the challenge over at CASology this week is Ribbon so you have inspired me to submit both my cards. xx
