This challenge could not be possible without an amazing Challenge Manager, I am so fortunate to have my sweet friend, Tracey McNeely with me on this new venture. She will be publishing each challenge, all the winner posts and helping with the design team. She is also one of our Clean & Simple Artists!!!
Let's give a big welcome to
Hi, I'm Tracey McNeely, and I am a Canadian girl that lives just out side of Toronto in Oshawa, Ontario. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 23 years and have two fabulous kids Ben, 18, and Brooklyn, 16. I taught computer science and special education in high school for nearly 17 years when I had to leave my job because I was no longer able to manage my MS along with working. I have been making cards since my teens and scrapbooking now for about 12 years. I love to be in my studio playing with paper and stamps creating projects that are clean and simple. I am so excited about the concept of this new challenge blog and to be on this Design Team with some great friends.
I have asked Tracey to share one of her favourite CAS (clean & simple) cards.
Here is a definition of what is clean & simple...
- One main image
- Lots of open space (uncluttered)
- Limited layers & embellishments
- Quick & easy to recreate
Are you a Clean & Simple designer?
Tracey is a FABULOUS addition to your team!!! Congrats Tracey!!
