Challenge #331 - Neapolitan

Hey there LIMettes!

It's the start of a new month, which means a new sponsor and guest designer and time to announce this week's COLOUR challenge! We're delighted to welcome STAMPlorations back as our generous sponsor for this month and we hope you'll play along for a chance to win a fantastic prize. 

Here's our COLOUR cue card and there's a little picture graphic below, courtesy of Google

Challenge #327 - Yellow & Grey

Morning LIMettes! 

This is a news / photo packed post with lots to mention so you might want to grab a drink before you read on!

We'll get to this week's challenge in a moment but if you visited the LIM blog last week you'll know that we said our 'cheerios' to fellow teamie Jen. We wish her well and hope she'll be back when things are quieter for her! 

... BUT to soften the blow we are delighted to reveal not ONE but THREE new Designers to our team. 

From left to right we have Izzy of Izzy Scrap, Nonni of Nonni's Handmade Cards and Trina of My Crafting Closet

You may already follow them in Blogland but if not be sure to stop by their blogs and give them a MASSIVE welcome; you'll definitely enjoy all the inspiration they provide!

                 

    

Onto the challenge which is COLOUR week and coincides with our lovely fellow teamie Anita's birthday so she's chosen our colour combo and I hope you'll  pop by and leave a massive birthday wish on her blog too and if you'd like to make it a birthday card dedicated to Anita that would be awesome too!

  

Anita has chosen two of the three colours from our logo and we'd like to see 

any shades of YELLOW & GREY on your cards

 from your teamies Neets ... 

... and there's more; it's also the start of a new month which means we are thrilled to have Uniko back as our sponsor for this month of challenges. Bev (Uniko) is our super talented Guest Designer for this week and there's a whole new stamp release happening at Uniko today too - why not drop in HERE in an hour to see what's in store! 


... and if you happen to be in the Port Sunlight area today for the Happy Stampers Festival then please stop by the Uniko stand for a chat. Bev and some of the Uniko DT, including LIM DT member, Sarah P will be there and they'd love to meet you.

Now it's time to show you what Bev, our new Design Team have prepared to inspire you and do check out their personal blogs if you have the time as there could be a couple of bonus cards too!

As always please keep your designs Clean & Simple with lots of clean white / blank space and do check our Challenge Guidelines at the top right of the blog along with our 'How to Play' page at the top.
