Hi Pinkies

Are you all getting nearly ready for Christmas??  It's getting so close and here at the Pink Palace, we have all the pink decorations up... there is lots of bling and glitter - in fact the Palace can barely be seen for all the fabulous sparkly stuff!  And we have a mahoosive PINK Christmas tree!!

So with all that in mind, today's challenge is:

CHRISTMAS

(pink of course...)

So that's got to be easy for you, hasn't it??  Hope so!  Don't forget to use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR - our number one rule!

Here's what the Design Team have come up with to inspire you...

Now, onto some fabulous exciting news!!  We have a lovely new Pink Lady who has joined us... if you are here often, you'll see this lady's creations quite regularly amongst our entries so she is very definitely a pink lover! Let me introduce to you Vannessa Hasty from Saffire's Stamping - here's her fabulous card - you'll love it!

Vannessa

I know you'll give Vannessa a huge Pink welcome - here's a bit about her..

I'm Vannessa, will be hitting the big 4-0 next year and am a primary school teacher by day, currently teaching a lively class of 7-8 year olds. I live in Peterborough in the UK with my boyfriend of 18 years and our very spoilt kitty, Tallulah. We don't have any children - 30 a day at work is enough for me!  I have been card making for about 8 years now and it started as something to do to fill the long summer holidays with. I began with a cheap set from eBay and it grew from there. I now have a huge amount of crafting goodies, but there's always room for more I say! I love layers on my cards and very rarely do you find one without some ribbon. I think I have enough ribbon to start my own shop - just love it.  In the Pink is just the perfect challenge blog for me. I love pink! I wear lots of pink, my bedroom is pink, my classroom has lots of pink bits all over it too! I am so excited to be one of the Pink Ladies! Thank you to Christine for asking me to join the team!  

And now........  even more wonderful excitement!  Our Guest Designer for this month is the lovely Kate from Downright Crafty - and here's her card...

Kate

How fabulous is this??  And here's a bit about Kate too..

Hi my name is Kate, 

I have been crafting all of my life in one way or another and was introduced to the land of blog by a very good crafting friend.  A little timid at first it did not take me long to find my feet and to start entering all the fabulous challenges.  I found copics three years ago and have never looked back, a year ago,  I attended my Copic Certification Class to become a Copic Certified Designer.  I have been published several times in the Mad 4 Markers Copicendium and occasionally published for Papercraft Essentials promoting Wild Rose Studio images.

Sooo... let's see what you can do for our Christmas challenge...  but again, don't forget, use MORE PINK than any other colour (with the exception always of white!)  HAVE FUN.. we did!

You have a whole four weeks to enter this challenge as we're taking a little break over the festive period..  we'll be putting our feet up on our pink pouffe's...  sitting around enjoying some Pink Champagne to celebrate.. and generally enjoying ourselves!



Now all this is left is for us to wish ALL of our lovely Pinky followers a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS and wish you all the very best for a fabulous 2015!

Big Hugs

Challenge # 58 - Diecuts and Punches...

Hi Pinkies

Hope you're all having a good time getting ready for the festivities next month..  everyone seems to be in advance of themselves this year somehow, with all the TV ads you'd think Christmas was next week instead of next month! LOL!

But here at the Pink Palace, we're only going to put up our decorations in December..  when we're going to have a massive Pink Christmas tree, and lots and lots of pink glitter and tinsel!  

Now onto today's challenge....  this time we'd like to see what you can make using 

DIECUTS AND PUNCHES

Now... onto our lovely Guest Designer - Viv from Daizy-Mae Designs..  Here is her gorgeous Diecuts and Punches creation..

Viv

Isn't this just stunning in it's simplicity??

I know you'll all give Viv a wonderful PINK welcome.. Here's a little bit about her...

Hi everyone, my name is Vivien Hodge and I live in Norfolk, UK.  I have been making cards and also wire jewellery for over 10 years now. Happy married, we have three children and three grandchildren too. My husband is also into crafts and makes lovely things out of wood, turning mostly but some carving also.

 

I like to make quite simple cards mostly, using digital images, rubber stamps, die-cuts etc.  I love my Happy Cuts machine, my Cuttlebug, Copic Markers, Promarkers & Flex Markers too. I love using distress inks and the lovely effects they can achieve.

  

I look forward to joining ‘In The Pink’ as a Guest Designer, such a great inspirational site. Rizzo knows I am well known for my love of pink too lol. What an honour to be chosen, thank you so much.

Sooo... let's see what you can do for our KISS challenge...  but again, don't forget, MORE PINK than any other colour (with the exception always of white!)  HAVE FUN.. we did!
