Thank you! Hi everyone - my name is Susanne and I am your host of the August 2023 White Space / Clean Challenge.
I love minimalistic layouts!!!
Sometimes less is more and today it's your turn to show this.
In your clean & simple layout every element "counts", so take your time to find out what works best.
Concentrate on one small area of your page - remember that you only need a small part "decorated" to create the clean & simple look!
Your challenge is:
- to use only one background paper, no more papers are a allowed
- your background paper should have a very light color (white, beige) and should be very "clean" (no big patterns, paint which is directly on the background (you can add paint as an additional element), big color variations)
- your creation should not fill more than 1/4 of your layout
- only one photo (should be a photo, no photoless pages please)
- a maximum of 7 additional elements is allowed (background paper and photo do not count)
- a frame around your photo (even if it's a simple white one) counts as one of the 7 elements
---> Templates are not allowed
---> pre-made clusters are not allowed
I made two example layouts for you:
For this layout I used the background paper, the picture (Cologne Cathedral Germany) and 6 additional elements:
I used
This is another example, background paper, photo (Table Mountain in Cape Town) and 7 additional elements:
I used
I hope this gives you some inspiration for your layout.
I wish you a lot of fun and can't wait to see what you create!
