Challenge #415 - Red, Raspberry and Grey

Hey LIMettes!

We have a little bit of news for you this week. Sadly, Nonni has decided to cut down on the amount of DT work that she does and she's decided to offer up her place on our design team to someone else. This will be her last challenge with us. We will be really sad to see her go, and we thank her for all her hard work and the amazing inspiration she has given to everyone who has entered our challenges. She will be deeply missed by the design team too, but happily she'll still be around in blog land and on Instagram so if you follow her you will still see her awesome designs.  Good luck with everything you do in the future Nonni!

So, how can you take the opportunity of stepping into her shoes and securing a place on this design team? If you are interested, please make a card for this challenge and for the following challenge too, and remember to add DT after your name when you enter your cards into the linky.

The DT call will close when the linky expires on challenge #416 (10 pm GMT on 10th April 2020. The lucky person will be selected and contacted shortly after that. Good luck everyone!

Challenge #413 - More (but still CAS)

Hey LIMettes!

Well, we just had to continue our 'Less is More' themes this month and as we tackled 'Less' last time, we are back with our latest challenge which is 'More (but still CAS)'

The idea behind this challenge is to use lots of small images or shapes or words/sentiments but at the same time keeping the card as CAS as possible. How many small images/shapes can you incorporate into your CAS design? For example, tiny flowers, stars, snowflakes etc. We look forward to seeing what you use.
