Hi Bestest Blogging Buddies..
Well I'm back from my lovely hols... just in time to get my card ready for the next challenge at In The Pink. This time the theme is an easy one... 'Anything Goes'.... of course, as long as it's PINK!! LOL! And for the Guest Designing - I'm joined by the super-talented Lis-M.... a big welcome to her!
As you know, I love my Saturated Canary digi images... and Ava is a particular favourite.. so out she came. She's an absolute joy to colour... and I did a bit of shading and sponging too... after I'd used my Spellbinders Floral Oval Die. I cut the balloon out a second time and shaped it to 3D... then used Stickles to give the bling! I've used the paper before, and had cut the name off (sorry!), but again, it's one of my favourite papers... love the deep pink dotty. The font was PC generated.. and I finished off with a couple of small flowers.. and some glitter on her pretty dress and boots.. I'd love to see you at In The Pink.. and have some exciting news to share with you regarding the challenge in the near future... but you'll have to wait and see!
Now... I promised I'd share some pics of our hols... so if you get bored easily.. stop reading now!!

| The view from our fabulous bungalow... from the bed! |

| Our special bath overlooking the Ionian Sea! We didn't find out what all the knobs did but the spa was fab! |
 |
| The view while we ate lunch one day.. very close to our bungalow balcony |

| A sample of the deserts at the hotel each night... well, I couldn't not try each... could I? They were only little.. And I soon learned to miss out the main course and go straight from the salad starter to the desert.. they were different each night... and see the little plastic dish that the ice cream came in? I have four now!! Perfect for my desk to keep little things tidy! Barry nearly disowned me! |
 |
| A little souvenir I brought back... and exactly what I resembled after eating all those puds! |
Soooooo after I've bored you silly..... why don't you pop over to In The Pink and see what pink fabulousness you can come up with!
Big hugs
