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...
