"Less is More" six months on!

"Less is More", our Clean and Simple Challenge Blog is 6 months old today. I know I'm getting old but I really don't know where the time has gone to.
It doesn't seem a more than a moment since Mandi emailed me to ask if I would be interested in a joint venture with her to create a new Challenge Blog for Clean and Simple cards! Boy am I glad that I jumped at the prospect!
I popped over to the island to meet her to try get things sorted. We had so much fun then and have continued to have fun ever since...and have become such good friends!
The details of our Feeling Fruity challenge and our cards this week are over on the "Less is More" blog.
ABC Challenge - Z for Zoo

I have had quite a busy week so far, with my daughter and her children staying for a few days... Thursday was spent at Peppa Pig's World at Paulton's Park. Daisy had a super time!

Have a great weekend and do join us this week, we'd love to see your creations!

    love both cards Chrissie, but i think i prefer the second one. Congratulations on 6 months - wow that has gone fast.

    Daisy looks so cute, we'd love to take Blake to Peppa Pig world but it's such a long journey I t ink we'd have to stop over - so maybe next year!

    Love

    You know that I love all your cards, but the second one is particularly exquisite! I can't believe what a big girl Daisy is now…shouldn't she still be a baby? So pretty, like her mom and grandma :)

    I look forward to your challenges! I just don't always do (esp. when you have TONS of submissions or I can't come up with something).
    So glad you two came up with it. I've learned a lot.

    I REALLY like your pineapple card. Your bear card is berry sweet too.

    So glad you had family near and a fun time.;)

    Hi Chrissie, Congrats on 6mths of brilliant challenges, I've enjoyed nearly all of them, it would be all but I missed a few right at the beginning:{ Great inspirational cards, love both:0) Teddy's fun and lovely and bright and the fruit is more grown up and sophisticated, yummy. Glad you had fun at Peppa Pig world, great idea, it would suit my 3yr old Grand daughter really well, I'm off to check it out, Thank you, Gay xxx

    Great cards Chrissie, and another great challenge. My favourite has to be the second, such unusual colours for a fruit card, but it works brilliantly :)

  38. Karen Aicken4 August 2011 at 20:46

    Such different cards and both terrific. My fav though, has to be the bottom card with it's text and colour scheme. Wonderful! TFS and thanks for another fun CAS challenge.
    Cheers, Karen
