It's a lubberly jubberly day here...sun is shining and there's not a cloud in the sky...I'm already running for the garden to drag the hammock from the shed and I'm gonna lay and read my book...I don't think there'll be much crafting done today!
We've got a CLEAN & SIMPLE challenge for you today over at CES Challenges and the theme has been chosen by lil ole me! I chose it because I really struggle with CAS and I see so many gorgeous cards out there in blogland but mine never quite turn out the same...that said I'm quite pleased with this card coz I found some gingham in my paper box and it was a bit like pulling a pair of old fav comfy joggers out the drawer...a good old faithful friend that made me feel comfortable lol!
The girls have created some fantastic cards this week...I don't think I was the most popular member of the DT when I picked this challenge but I have to say they have totally rocked this challenge...yes...even you Vicky...me old mucker!
This weeks prize is a cool £10 gift certificate for the winner to spend in Crafty Emma's on-line store

Donna, while you're out in the hammock reading a book and enjoying the beautiful sunshine there, we've got wind and rain! HAHA i don't mind at all though. Boy, what a FABBY card, girl! I love CAS - that's usually my style. The gingham is bold enough to make it lively and your sentiment with the scalloped background and that perfect knot fully make "simple" gorgeous! Love the little buttons too. This is too gorgeous and just my style - the subtle ink distressing adds even more; you're an excellent crafter girl! Have a lovely weekend!
I loved that you set this challenge, Donna!! Really enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone!! LOVE your card - the gingham background works perfectly with the sentiment and the ribbon!! Hope you enjoyed your day in the hammock!! Juliexx
