Challenge #116 - FLOWER POWER

Hi there lovely Pinkies...

We have a wonderful new challenge for you today - our theme is 

FLOWER POWER

So we'd love to see what you make using flowers.... either included in your image, using diecuts or mulberry flowers... or whatever you can think of to include some sort of flowers!  Easy hey??  Don't forget our number one rule though, that you need to use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of white and neutrals of course), otherwise your entry may not be considered.

Here's what the fabulous Pink Ladies came up with...

Our fabulous and very generous sponsor this time is the lovely Tracy at Dies to Die For - if your name is chosen at random from our Perfect Pinkies... you could win a wonderful £15 voucher to spend at their website... take a peek by clicking on the logo below - you'll go straight there.

Now, I'm afraid we have sad news (get out the pink tissues!)...  The sharp sighted amongst you may have noticed that we are a couple of photos short on the sidebar today - we've lost two of our lovely Pink Ladies in the one week!!  Our fabbie co-hostess Kat and our lovely Debs have both decided to step down as they have lots of other things going on..  We'll miss them lots of course, but wish them well in their future crafting adventures and thank them for all they've done for In The Pink.

So for the time being - we're going to get by with just the five of us... Annette and Squirrel take turns each challenge, so we will generally have four Pink Ladies making each time.

We'd love to hear from you in our comments section - do you enjoy our Pink challenge and want us to continue??  Would you like to see changes and if so, what?  Please show us your love...  In the Pink was started to have fun and to share our love of PINK... and we would love to continue if we know that we're hitting the right buttons!  We'd love to see lots and lots of entrants this time - we can break some records!

But back to the challenge...  let's see what you can come up with for our FLOWER POWER challenge (in PINK of course!)

Big hugs
