    Hi everyone! Today’s challenge is to make to make a clean and simple page. I know that many of you will find this aligned to your style, but if that is not the case, I have a few tips to make a clean and simple page:
    • White space is your friend! Don't be afraid to leave lots of empty space on your page.
    • Less is more. Choose your photo with care and place a few elements to guide the eye to it.
    • Rule of three. Placing elements in groups of three creates balance.
    • Take a shortcut. There are lots of great products in the store that make creating a clean and simple page a piece of cake! For example, this quick page set by Paislee Press.

    Here's my example, using the Jan. BYOC:

    I can't wait to see what you create! :heartlub

    The rules: Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Please post your page in your page thread you created in this folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants’ page threads so we can keep them clean. You should also post your page here in this thread, and people can comment here if they wish. Pages should contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers).

    I couldn't get any more simple than this! I just followed one of the Paislee Press templates, and wasn't sure what else to add...so I left it! Hope the photo speaks volumes!
