Challenge #17 - Spring/Easter in Pink!

Hi Pinkies

Today the challenge here at the PINKIE PALACE is all about this time of year...  at least it's the time of year that hopefully is just around the corner!  The theme is 'Spring/Easter' and you can do either/or/both - as long as your card contains more pink than any other colour... it's fine for In The PINK!

If you need any inspiration... check out the below:

And now I'd like to introduce the new Guest Designer here at In The Pink for the next couple of challenges.... it's Debs from Especially for You whose cards are always SO stunning.  Here's some fabulous Spring/Easter inspiration from her:

Here's a little more about Debs:

I am very happily married to John - my soulmate.  Mother of three fantastic sons, Jamie, Aaron & Jack.  Grandmother to Oliver and Lola (Apr & May 2011).  I am totally addicted to papercrafting - all sorts of styles and techniques but card making is my absolute passion.  I have been blogging for nearly 4 years and have made some amazing friends and am honoured to be part of some fabulous Design Teams.

 Can I say a big thank you again to all of you who enter the challenges... and particularly to those who leave a little love in the comments box...  I then know that our passion for pink is spreading far and wide - let's just see who lives the furthest away!!  I would also love it if you had a little look at other entries...  and maybe left a comment on your favourite??  How good would that be....  we'd have our own pink community!!

 So....  pick up your pink pens, your pink paper, and your pink ink.... and let your pink passion fly...  we look forward so much to seeing your entries for the Easter/Spring challenge..

Big hugs and happy pink crafting..
