Where are all the fairies hiding??

Hi Pinkies

Oooh..... well, we think all the PINK FAIRIES must be in hiding... as they're not wanting to be seen in our Faires and Elves challenge!!  Maybe there's a fairy party going on and they are all enjoying themselves in their little fairy houses in their little fairy village at the bottom of the garden??

We hate to break up their party.... BUT.... we'd so love to see them appearing on some cards or creations for our current challenge...  We have had some beauties so far, but we're very sure that most of us have at least ONE fairy in our collection that deserves her spot in the limelight (or should that be PINK light!)..  so we'd love you to get out your pink pens and colour - then enter our fabulous challenge!

Remember, you have until next Wednesday to enter....  
See you there...

CHALLENGE #51 - FAIRIES AND ELVES (PINK - OF COURSE)

Hi Pinkies

It's Challenge time again here at The Pink Palace - these fortnights go by so fast!  But we love it really because it gives us an excuse to get out our PINK... 

This time we'd really like to see entries from you that feature

FAIRIES AND ELVES
(Pink ones.. of course!)

We thought you'd enjoy this challenge (we did!), as what self respecting fairy would be without her pink??

Here's what the DT have come up with for you..




(If you'd like more details, click on the relevant Pink Lady's name above each card)

Now... a little bit of sad news....  We're losing two of our lovely Pink Ladies this time....  Firstly, we're losing our lovely Stacey, who has only been with us for a very short time, but whose cards and creations are always fabulous!  Unfortunately, she's had to leave suddenly and hasn't been able to do a card for us this time, as she's had a fabulous promotion in her job so is having to take a step back from her crafting.  We'd like to wish you Good Luck in your new demanding position Stacey...  and THANK YOU for being a Pink Lady - we'll miss you - but GO GIRL GO in that new job!

(Pass the tissues now please...)

AND we're also losing our wonderful little French speaker... Helene - who has been with us for a year... and has produced some truly stunning creations for us!!  She really has been a pleasure for us to get to know..  but is now taking up a job so will also have less time to craft...   however, she also has another DT position so I'm sure (like us) you'll want to follow her crafting adventures!  We really are sad to see you go Helene... and wish you all the very best of luck in your new job.  THANK YOU for being a Pink Lady!

(OK...  Pass the whole box of tissues now....)

BUT... on the positive side.... we have two new PINK LADIES who will be joining us for our next challenge!!!  We're looking forward to showing them around The Pink Palace..  making them comfortable and getting out the celebratory Pink Champagne!  

So.... after all that news, I bet you've forgotten what our challenge is! LOL!  

FAIRIES AND ELVES
(Pink ones of course)

And don't forget our number one rule...  to use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR for your card to be considered.

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


Happy Pink Crafting..

Challenge #49 - ANIMAL ANTICS - PERFECT PINKIES

Hi Pinkies

Thank you all for a lovely lot of entries for our Animal Antics challenge...  we pondered and perused, and finally came up with the following who each earn a Perfect Pinkie badge...

(In no particular order)






(More details on these cards if you click on the link above each)

Here's your Perfect Pinkie badge to grab:

It really does take us some doing to pick out just five.... like I keep on saying, you're all winners in our eyes for just taking part!  So, what we do is that the DT each decide on a favourite - and they become our Perfect Pinkies.

We hope you agree with our choice this time...  there were some fabulous cards entered, as always!

Now..... watch for our SPECIAL challenge today!
