Challenge #75 - ANYTHING GOES!

Hi Pinkies!!

Well........ we're celebrating here at The Pink Palace today - as it's our THIRD BIRTHDAY!  That's right...... we've been around for three whole years sharing our love of PINK and giving all you lovers of this wonderful colour a place to showcase your PINK creations!

And to celebrate.... we decided to have an easy challenge.... so today it's 

ANYTHING GOES

(in pink of course!!)

We'd love to see all of your fabulous pink creations - not just cards, as long as it's PINK!  That's our number one rule - that you use MORE PINK than any other colour (neutrals excluded of course), otherwise your card may not be considered.

Here's what the lovely Pink Ladies have come up with to inspire...

Rizzo

Kat

Vannessa

Sue

And now for some wonderful news.... we have a new PINK LADY!  Please give a lovely pink welcome to Kerry Lifsey with her wonderful creation..

Here's a little bit about Kerry...

Hi... my name is Kerry and I live in England.   I am married to Paul who is very supportive of my addictive hobby, and I have 3 daughters.

I started card making about 3 years ago and my main love is stamping as I love to colour.  I use Copics at the moment but am about to start practicing with distress inks.  My favorite style of cards are easel and book cards and I love adding lots of embellishments and flowers.  And of course..... my favourite colour is pink ....

Now.... our wonderful sponsor this time is:

who have kindly donated a £10 gift voucher (exclusive of shipping) for the entrant chosen at random (our of a hat!) from our Perfect Pinkies.  Take a look at their fabulous website by clicking on the logo, to see all the wonderful craftie goodies and trimmings they stock!!

So........  let's see what you can come up with for our ANYTHING GOES challenge!  We can't wait!

Now.... we're going to share the pink cake and partake in a glass of pink champagne!!

Big hugs

We'd love to see creations from you that are inspired by this theme....... ie, starry in some way or another...  but please don't forget our number one rule - that you use MORE PINK than any other colour (neutrals excluded) - otherwise your card may not be considered.

Don't forget you're not limited to creating cards - we always love to see any other kinds of creations - as long as this time, they have some kind of pink and starry theme!

Our wonderful sponsor this time is Live and Love Crafts - you could win a fabulous £10 gift voucher (exclusive of shipping) if your creation is chosen as a Perfect Pinky and then randomly picked out of the hat for this prize..

Live and Love Crafts sell such a wonderful range of shabby chic craft items and embellishments - take a look at their website and you'll no doubt find something you NEED! 

Now.... we have a little bit of sad news here at The Pink Palace...  our lovely Debs is stepping down to concentrate more of her magazine work - we'll miss you so very much Debs - but can totally understand your reason.

Challenge #73 - FLORAL

Hi Pinkies everywhere...

Here we are again with another fabulous new PINK challenge for you.....  this time our theme is

PINK AND FLORAL

****

NOTE: Don't forget our number one rule is that you use MORE PINK than any other colour (neutrals excluded) otherwise your card may not be considered.

****

You have the added option of using the photograph provided below as inspiration for your creation.

These are what the lovely Pink Ladies came up with for you to take a look at...

Rizzo (aka Christine)

Vanessa

Kat

Sue

So as you can see - we all used a floral image - but in such very different ways...  The only thing we have in common is PINK!  This theme really does allow for such a wide range of images to be used in different ways - and don't forget, we love to see creations other than cards too!  

We have another fabulous sponsor this time - if you are randomly picked from our chosen Perfect Pinkies, you could win a £10 voucher very generously donated by.....

This is a fantastic prize, as The Hobby House offers such a wide range of craft supplies including the most gorgeous embellishments!

As you can see, we're a little quiet here this time at the Pink Palace.... what with holidays etc.  But we'll be back up to full strength in September - when we'll be choosing a Guest Designer again too... so bear with us if you will...

Now.......  as here in the UK our 'summer' has probably passed by... (although I do hope we get more!), what's stopping you getting into the crafting zone and coming up with something PINK AND FLORAL?! 

Big hugs
