Challenge #22 - PINK WITH FLOWERS - AND AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT...

Hi Pinkies everywhere....

Well.......  are you all sitting comfortably???  Today I can share some brilliant news that's been keeping me so excited for the last few weeks!!

I decided about a month ago that as In The Pink was growing lots and to be quite honest, was becoming a bit overwhelming... that it needed some new new blood......  and with that in mind... decided to look for a Design Team of like minded people who share the pink passion!!

Soooo... I approached some very talented card-makers that have been very supportive of In The Pink since it's inception.....  and am THRILLED TO BITS that they all agreed to join me here in the Pinkie Palace!  Without further ado.... I'd like to introduce to you........ the new fabulous In The Pink Design Team... (The Pink Ladies!)

Christine C (Nanaseaside)

Nikki P (Nikki's Crafting Creations)

Lis-M (My Craft Blogumentary)

Karen O (My Crafty Cupboard)

and of course.... there's still me....

Christine L (Cards by Christine)

I'd like to thank these very talented ladies for joining me.... just wait till you see their fabulous creations for today.... they've really blown me away!  And I'm sure they'd love you to pop over to their blogs and leave a little love..

I'd also love to specially thank Lis-M for being Guest Designer for the last two challenges - and to welcome her and the other Pink Ladies on board!

Today's challenge theme is 'PINK WITH FLOWERS' - So we'd love to see a card or other creation from you that as usual, has more PINK than any other colour....  and features flowers in some way!!  Easy huh??

Here's what we've come up with if you need any inspiration...

We'll still be having a Guest Designer spot.... but not for this challenge.....  however, one will be chosen next time.... and it could be you.... so get our your pink pens, your pink pencils, and your pink paper... ...... and let's see what you can come up with!!  

We can't wait to see your entries.... don't forget, it doesn't have to be a card...  it can be any papercraft creation, providing you use more pink than any other colour.  Good Luck!!

Big hugs and Happy Crafting
