CHALLENGE #63 - CUTE

Hi Lovely Pinkies...

Here we are again with another exciting challenge for you - today's theme is sooooo easy...  it is:

CUTE
(in pink of course...)

So - the interpretation is up to you...  we'd love to see your cute creations...  Don't forget our main requirement is that YOU USE MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR on your creation (with the exception of white of course)

Here's the cuteness the Pink Ladies came up with:







(more details if you click on the name above each card)

Now we have to announce our wonderful new Guest Designer for the next two challenges.... (drum roll)..   it is Sylvie - aka Gibmiss!  Here's her gorgeous 'cute' creation...

Sylvie

And a little bit about Sylvie..
My name is Sylvie - I am retired now and live in Gibraltar.  I got into card-making about 13 years ago when my friend who owned a craft shop here introduced me to it.... yes, it's all her fault! LOL !  I have always crafted - I've knitted, cross-stitched and done parchment work - but I love card-making the most - especially using PINK! 

So as you can see from all our creations - we use any shade of pink, and any style of card or creation....  and we LOVE to see all the different entries from you lovely Pinkies....  this time, as long as they are CUTE!

Our wonderful and very generous sponsor this time is The Ribbon Girl - specialists in all types of wonderful trimmings and embellishments - who are kindly donating a fabulous £10 Gift Voucher to be spent at their store (shipping extra of course).  So if your creation is lucky enough to be chosen as one of our Perfect Pinkies, your name will be put into a hat with the others and one will be drawn at random to receive this fabulous prize!

We can't wait to see your CUTE creations - in PINK of course.  Oooh and don't forget, you can share them on Facebook too on our page.... it all helps to spread the PINK word far and wide!


Big hugs

Challenge #62 - Love is in the Air - Perfect Pinkies

Hi Lovely Pinkies...

WOWWWW - What a wonderful response we had to our 'Love is in the Air' challenge!!  And again WOWWWWWW to the standard of the entries!!  You really are doing us proud ladies...  and how wonderful it is to see In The Pink growing so well and becoming a place that us pink lovers just HAVE to be seen!!

Now... onto our Perfect Pinkie choice...  well, us Pink Ladies have a real job on our hands - we all choose one creation each to be a Perfect Pinkie..  then those go in a hat and a random one is chosen for the prize.  I can't describe how difficult a job the choosing is - we all struggle to narrow down our choice as we all end up with about half a dozen each time that we absolutely LOVE!  But then I have to get tough with the Ladies and get them to choose just ONE each..  here's the final choice:
