The Summer of Color #3 PINK

Well, week three of Kristin's wonderful colour challenge is here again 
 ....and this weeks challenge is  PINK
(one of my favourite colours!!)
Whilst browsing the internet, looking for a 'pink' quote to inspire me...
I came across this piece of info...
-oOo-
-For women who are often overworked and overburdened, an attraction to pink may speak of a desire for the more carefree days of childhood.-
-oOo-
Mmmm...Could this be why I like pink sooo much ?!!! LOL
Anyway i found this fun and inspiring little quote...

-oOo-
"I believe in pink.

 I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.

 I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

 I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

 I believe that tomorrow is another day

…… and I believe in miracles."

-Audrey Hepburn-


and this is what it inspired me to create...
(You can click on pics for a better view)
-oOo-
some more pages for my journal...
-oOo-
-oOo-
I've painted, stencilled, stamped and inked...
I've even manage to complete this weeks bonus challenge ...
to' incorporate wax into your piece' 
I have used assorted `Water-soluble wax pastels' to colour my pages
-oOo-

..and you can never have too much pink....can you ?
...Well personally, I don't think so ! LOL
So, I've also made a little 'pink' Thank you card....


...created with, papers, old envie, Image (Landof Enchantment), tickets, lace, paper flowers, stitching,fabric yo-yo, paints inks and mini scrabble letters.
-oOo-
Whooo, I've enjoyed this weeks PINK challenge...and next week is YELLOW...way out of my colour comfort zone again...so this could be a challenging week!
-oOo-
Off to have a nosey at what other pinkness has been created in blog-world :)
-oOo-
Thanks again Kristin for getting my mojo back from its Hols, with her fun colour challenge..
-oOo-
Thanks for Looking!
