Hey LIMettes! 

We're back with our latest challenge which is the turn of 'COLOUR' fortnight and as you can see from the post title and the Cue Card below it's pretty obvious what we're looking for. We're sure you'll enjoy this easy challenge.

Being the start of a new month we announce our sponsor for this month's challenges and we are extremely delighted to welcome a brand new and super generous sponsor - it's CASual Fridays and just in case you haven't spotted this company already here's a little bio from Michele, designer and owner.

At CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, we've been creating clever, stylish and sorta sassy designs in beautiful Colorado since 2012. All the stamp and die sets you'll find here were personally dreamed up and designed by owner Michele Gross - just a little glimpse of the fun stuff happening in her head! With new designs released throughout the year, and regular jaw-dropping inspiration from our amazing design team, you'll want to visit often so you don't miss a thing.

Let us inspire you! Follow us on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Blog

As well as sponsoring the challenge Michele is also offering all of our players this month a special discount on CASual Friday's stamps using the code 'lessismore' so why not visit the store.
