And now, we'd like to introduce you to our fabulous new Guest Designer for the next two challenges...  it's the lovely Pamellia from My Little Craft Things - and here is her wonderful creation:


Isn't this just a WOW?????

Here's a little bit about Pamellia who we know you'll give a lovely Pink welcome to:

Hello Everyone! My name is Pamellia Johnson and I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with my wonderful husband and our two little girls, Scully (a teacup Maltese) and Pebbles (a teacup black Pomeranian).

Thanks to my very creative and talented Mom, I have been crafting in some form or another since I was a little kid. I've dabbled in a variety of crafts, but my true passion is card making. I enjoy many different styles, but my favourite is shabby chic, oh how I love all the soft muted colours, big shabby bows and frilly laces.

Whenever possible, I try and make every aspect of my projects by hand. I prefer to make my own backgrounds and flowers, I dye my own ribbons, I even make some of my embellishments out of clay. I find such a sense of accomplishment in knowing that I made it myself.

Thank you so much to Christine and the In The Pink team for inviting me to spend the day with them. I am thrilled and honoured to be here with such a talented group of artists!

Pamellia has been one of our regular entrants and will also be with us for our next challenge.

We hope you'll  have fun with this challenge and ENJOY making something pink for us (that's what it's all about)...  We're looking forward to lots of fabulous entries!

You can also pop over to our FACEBOOK PAGE to share your pink creation there too so your fellow pinkies can see it properly and have a chat... we'd love to see you!


So come on ladies....  Lets get our dots and stripes out...

Happy Pink Crafting..
