Rizzo back here today after my little rest last time.... the fabulous Kat did a wonderful job in the chair... a big thank you to her!

MAGICAL

As always, please follow our number one rule which is that you use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (excluding white and neutrals), otherwise your card may not be considered - and we do hate that!

Challenge #80....PINK RIBBON

Hi Pinkies....

It's Kat here today...yes, I have been making myself comfy in the Pink hot seat again to tell you all about our next challenge, which I think you'll really enjoy.

But first...we have hugely exciting news as we welcome DEBS back to The Pink Ladies!  I'm sure many of you will remember this lovely talented lady and we are so delighted to have her back on board sharing her gorgeous creations :-)

On to the challenge and it's kind of an obvious one because October is breast cancer awareness month so we would like to see...

PINK RIBBON
(on your PINK creation of course)

As always, we want to see more pink than any other colour except white/neutrals on your entry. We really hate to exclude those fabulous entries that don't follow our simple guidelines :-(

After a good old rummage through the pink ribbon boxes, here's what the lovely Pink Ladies came up with...










Debs

(if you pop over to the Pink Ladies' blogs by clicking on the link above each card, you'll see all the details of their cards)

Now, let's see those lovely pink ribbons... you must have some in your stash, and we can't wait to see what you come up with for this fab challenge!
