And a little bit about Lorraine...
"I've been crafting for most of my life, from sewing and painting to card-making. I started my little blog about 5 1/2 years ago and it that time I've made some lovely crafty friends. In between working and looking after my two children, I love colouring and find it's the perfect way to wind down."

And even more excitement... we have a fabulous Guest Designer  joining us for the month of April...  please welcome the lovely Carole Pollard - here's her fabulous make..

Here's a little bit about Carole...
"Hello to all you lovely Pinkies - my name is Carole and  I live in the NE of England. I’ve been crafting most of my life but became addicted to card making, in particular stamping and colouring after I retired. I love the friendship that crafting and the Blog world has brought me. I’m absolutely delighted to have been asked to be a Guest Designer this month for In The Pink, especially as its one of my favourite blog challenges."

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Di's Digi Stamps - you could win a fabulous $12 voucher to spend at their online store on wonderful digi images... take a look by clicking on the logo below to go straight there...
