    Hello Friends! I can't believe it's already April ... APRIL! I feel like Halloween candy is going to show up in stores next week ... Time does fly when you're having fun! It's my turn at the Style challenge, and while I could have gone outside my comfort zone and challenged myself, well, I didn't :giggle So, your challenge for April is to scrap a page in the Clean and Simple Style! These tend to be minimalistic, with few elements, and often focused on the photo. Now, in my mind, clean & simple doesn't have to mean white space; you can have a large photo, a big journaling block and a few key elements that take up a fair amount of space on your page, but still create a clean and simple page. My page for this challenge is both clean and simple, and white space, but feel free to fill your page with a clean and simple design!

    Please remember the monthly challenge rules: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread.

    The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month:

    2 challenges = 10% off
    4 challenges = 20% off
    6 challenges = 30% off

    If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).

    Now, go embrace simple, and show me your page!

    This was really fun and came together pretty fast (which is rare since I usually have a hard time editing elements to a few).

    I love this style!
    Here is my layout. I've been wanting to use Amber's Block Party and when I found these photos on the Internet, I thought it would make a fun layout to show my "grandchild" one day.

    I hope this is clean and simple enough... it's a hard style for me.

    Here's mine. Definitely not my style, I'm of the cluttered variety. :-)
