It's the one you've all been waiting for at this time of year, and you've maybe been saving yourself up for...... our theme this time is...

PINK CHRISTMAS
(in PINK of course!)

We'd LOVE to see any sort of Christmas creation, maybe a card, a gift bag, a piece of decor.... ANYTHING that you've made that uses MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of whites or neutrals), otherwise your entry may not be considered.  Our PINK blog is just about that.... our love of our favourite colour.... PINK!

Take a peek at what the Pink Ladies came up with for you to see..

So...  now it's your turn.  And you could win a $15 voucher (exc of shipping) from our wonderful sponsor - The Paper Nest Dolls - if your name is randomly chosen from our Perfect Pinkies.  What're you waiting for??  No excuse not to get your entries in to us!

We can't wait to see your wonderful Christmas creations - and you have four weeks this time instead of the normal two, as the Pink Ladies are taking a well earned break over the festive period...  we're getting all the pink decorations out for the Pink Palace and putting up the Pink tree!!

Challenge #83 - Favourite Stamp or Image

Hi Pinkies!

Are you getting all your Christmas cards ready?  It's getting so close now!

But today, we're staying away from Christmas as our challenge is:

FAVOURITE STAMP OR IMAGE
(in pink of course)

Now even us Pink Ladies struggled a bit to make the final decision of what was our favourite - so you could narrow it down to your 'favourite at the moment' if that helps!  Don't forget our number one rule though, that you use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of whites or neutrals), otherwise your card may not be considered.  Our PINK blog is all about just that...  our favourite colour - PINK!

Here's what the Pink Ladies came up with for your inspiration....






(More details on each card available by clicking on the name above each)

Our generous sponsor this time is Bunny Zoe's Crafts - you could win a £10 voucher (exc of shipping) to spend at their fabbie store online, if your name is chosen at random from our Perfect Pinkies.
