FIFTY SHADES OF.................. PINK!

Hi Pinkies everywhere....

We're so happy today as it's our challenge launch day!!!   We hope you are all ready with your pink pens poised (that is soooooo difficult to say...), and your pink papers at the ready.....  not to mention your pink embellies....

And our launch theme is ............  called............  drum roll............

FIFTY SHADES OF............    PINK!!!!

Now those of you who have heard of/read the book that is riding high in the charts at the moment, will understand the relevance.....  (and no, you don't have to own up if you have read it!!)....  And those of you that haven't read it, well.......  it just means that for our first challenge we would like you to use pink....  in any shade, and we're not stipulating anything else......  so it's a kind of anything goes type challenge...  Just remember, we want to see LOTS of pink on your cards...

Here's our creations to lead the pink way....  More details of them can be found on our blogs.... just click on the link above each card.





Soooooooo  see how we said one of us is cute and girlie and one of us is elegant and classy?????  Or maybe not when you see our future creations... we could swap and confuse you!!

The challenge will be open for two weeks from today - with three winners chosen at the end of that time - who will all receive our 'Perfect Pinkie' badge!!  Each month, we'll choose one person who we'll invite to be our guest designer for the next two challenges.....  does that sound good or what?????

Now, we'd really love you to join in with our very first challenge...... we can't wait to see your pink creations in whatever shapes and sizes and for whatever occasion you like....   Just remember to check out the rules at the top of the page.....  it'll make life so much easier for us if you do....

Happy Crafting Pinkies..
Big Hugs
Christine and Sylvia xx
(AKA Posh Priscilla and Pretty Patricia - to be know in future as PP and PP! hehe)

    I've visited each and every entry to spread some Pink love, yes, even to those who have confessed to struggling with pink. Together we will convert them! LOL
