Hi and welcome - here is Gina with the clean & simple challenge.

Many of you try to use a lot of elements but sometimes less is more.

For this challenge you will need
3 photos
3 papers (your background paper doesn't count)
3 elements
That's all.
No templates and frames allowed.

For your photos you can use a stroke if you like.
A title is optional.

You think it doesn't work? Be sure - it will.

Think about what shape you want your photos to be -
circle, rectangle, square, triangle, hexagon - there are many options.

Here are 2 examples - I need the same papers, the same photos -
only the elements are different and the shape of the photos.

For my pages I used Blue Creek Bundle by Dandelion Dust Designs

So - show me your creativity. I am looking forward to your pages.
Have fun!

Thank you for the challenge!

Wow - gorgeous page with these wonderful photos of the birds. Very clever to use one paper creating the frame. So you cleverly avoided the rule - no frames allowed. The added elements fit perfectly and the little girl with the bird is such a nice addition.
Thank you so much for playing along with me.

Thanks for this challenge!
Fantastic page, Véronique - you have to look very closely to recognize the papers as such - a very clever solution. And you combined the elements wonderfully to draw attention to the great photos.<
Thank you so much for playing along with me.

Gorgeous page, Mary-Lynne - I like the diagonal flow and the different sizes of your beautiful photos. Good idea to combine the photos with the flowers. You integrated the paper strips excellently.
Thank you so much for playing along with me.

I used a floral bouquet, "memories" element, and a paper edging. Hearts with 3 different papers.

Gorgeous page, Glori and wonderful memory photos - I love that you used the square and the rectangle shape for them. The added elements and papers with the heart shape are so beautifully placed.
Thank you so much for playing along with me.

Gorgeous page, Cath - I love the photos of the clouds - so good you had your camera at the right moment. The added papers behind the phots fit perfectly as well as the beautiful chosen elements.
Thank you so much for playing along with me.
