Howdy crafters and welcome to this week's challenge suggested by Jan.  It sure has been cold in parts of Australia this week, so perhaps some of you are away skiing, but if you aren't we'd love you to play along with us.

Just Add Ink #665 Winners

Oh boy, you guys really love Clean and Simple! We were thrilled at how many of you entered cards in this week's challenge.  Poor Fiona from our Design Team who suggested it didn't even get to play along because she's only just returned from 2.5 months in Europe. But she loved seeing all the entries.

You really made picking a winner tough work!  Every single one of your cards were just amazing.  And if you can nail Clean and Simple, you're a winner in our eyes.  The person whose card really stood out for us though is...




Here is what some of the design team had to say...

Such beautiful colouring brings this sweet image to life.

Love the touch of humour

Lovely card with beautiful colouring


Congratulations!
