PP451 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Ann

Hi, Stampers! Ann here, ready to tell you all about this week's challenge. But first, the Players would like to thank everyone who participated in LeAnne's color challenge. It was amazing to see a gallery filled with beautiful blues and greens! This week is our monthly Clean and Simple challenge, and we have added a Masculine theme.  By Clean and Simple, we mean cards that meet the following criteria:

Minimal layers and embellishments
Plenty of open space, aka "white" space

Simple and uncluttered

This is going to be so much fun! But before you grab those stamps and inks, be sure to check out what our design team has created for your inspiration!

And now our Headliner:

Annemarie and Merit - Scraparound Girls

I had a helper when choosing my Headliner this week as one of the James Juniors insisted on a view and luckily we were in agreement on who should get the vote! Annemarie and Merit's sweet sloth nestled amongst those bold, delicately textured yellow lilies is so cute  - I just want to give him a hug! Congratulations to you on being my Headliner this week!
