Challenge #76 - FLY AWAY

Hi Pinkies....

Today's challenge is always a popular one with our followers - and it's one us Pink Ladies love too!!  The theme is

FLY AWAY
(in pink of course - but with the option of PLUS ONE (other colour) this time)

We can't wait to see your fabulous entries using anything that flies and as always - remember our number one rule - which is TO USE MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR.  However, that's a major BUT this time....  some of the Pink Ladies (no names mentioned - LOL) got a little carried away with other colours (mainly green for some reason...) SOOO we decided to let you go for ONE other colour if you like...  sound good???  It IS just an option...  feel free if you just want to stick to our gorgeous PINK!  Unfortunately, if you don't follow our guidelines, your card may not be considered, no matter how wonderful it is!!

Here's what the PINK LADIES came up with...








(Kerry is away for this one)

Now some exciting news....  

We have not one, but TWO wonderful new Pink Ladies joining us!!!  They have decided to do a 'job share' so you'll probably be seeing them alternately - or they can both join in whenever they like!!  Two for the price of one?  CAN'T be bad!!

Meet the lovely

Here's a little bit about Annette...
Hi... I'm Annette from Netty's Cards, and I'm a paper-crafting addict!  My style is cute and girlie and I love all things pink - so I'm really honoured to be joining the talented Pink Ladies! 

And now... the equally lovely

And a bit about Squirrel..
Hello - I'm Squirrel - and I shall be your simple team member, sorry - clean and simple!  If it's cute and made of rubber, then I will stamp it!!

Welcome Ladies... Somehow I think there's going to be lots of fun at The Pink Palace in the future...  it's going to be so good to have them both with us!! 

Now... onto our fabulous sponsor this time - you can win a £10 gift voucher to spend at the wonderful BUNNY ZOE'S CRAFTS (exclusive of shipping of course).  Take a peek at their website... you won't be sorry you did as there are all sorts of fabulous stamps and crafty items to be tempted by!

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...





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!!
