Challenge #434 - Theme - Fashion and /or Accessories

Hey LIMettes! A Happy New Year to you all!

We're back with our first challenge of 2021 which, for those of you on total lockdown, will give you something to do. We suppose most people are sick of wearing sweat pants, PJs and casual clothes, so let's look forward to the time when we can all dress up again.

Get out those smart suits 👔, pretty dresses 👗, costumes 👘👙, high heels 👠, gorgeous handbags 👜, bling jewelry 💍👸, or maybe even something snuggly and warm to keep out the cold on a lovely winter's walk, and start crafting.

(snigger) We have visions of everyone in their craft spaces all dressed up for a fabulous night out now! Of course we meant get out your stamps and not for you to dress up 😂.

This week we're joined by our fantastic October winner, Heather from Heather's Pages and this is the wonderful card that she made for us.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that there is no sponsor for this challenge. We've taken the difficult decision to run the majority of the challenges this year without sponsorship because there are so many companies struggling to stay afloat at the moment. We thought it would be best to do our part to help them out by not requesting free product from them. We hope you all understand this decision and will continue to support our little challenge throughout 2021.

(We should however have a bumper sponsorship in February as it is our 10th birthday then!)

Enjoy the challenge, keep those entries CAS and have fun!

Hey LIMettes!

Can you believe that this year is coming to a close? Hasn't it flown by so quickly! Today we find ourselves at the last challenge for 2020 because the hard-working design team needs a little break over the festive period.

And what better way to finish this year than on a 'love it or hate it' one layer card?

We're joined by the founder of this challenge who also happens to be our fantastic September winner, Chrissie. How lovely to see her back here and we hope you'll pop over and give her some of that fabulous LIM love.
