We have a super talented Guest Designer for this challenge...Chrissie Stokes

Chrissie is a retired Primary School teacher, who began cardmaking in 2007, prompted by a request to make her daughter’s wedding stationery. In the years which followed,  she experimented with a variety of styles until her chosen genre, Clean and Simple, became the focus of all her cards. For many years she was on the Design team of the British Craft Magazine ‘Craft Stamper’ and has served on numerous blog design teams.

In 2011 she created the CAS challenge blog “Less is More” with fellow crafter Mandi Moore, which has gone from strength to strength. Since stepping back from the full time running of LIM she now has more time to  enjoy spending time with grandchildren and taking many breaks and holidays, cruising being a particular favourite!

Here is Chrissie's gorgeous card

OK, now let's see what the DT gals came up with for the code word:

We have a super talented Guest Designer for this challenge...Ingen

I loved crafting since I was a little girl. In 2003 an American friend showed me a Stampin’ Up! catalog and I fell in love with stamping. Over the years I learned a lot of techniques and stamping became my favorite hobby. I like to make my cards in the Clean and Simple style and I prefer to work with bright and cheerful colors. If you like to see more of the cards I make you can find me on Instagram and Facebook under the name @leukedingenvaningen or you can visit my blog
