Colour Challenge #5

It's the 3rd Sunday of the month so time for a new Ribbon Girl colour challenge. The challenge will run for 2 weeks and the colour theme is pink, brown and cream. You can make any kind of project and as long as you stick to the colours, create a new project (please play fair) and enter a direct link to your project (on a blog or in a gallery) in the in-linkz box at the bottom of the post you'll be entered into the draw to win this lovely selection of Ribbon Girl goodies and a voucher for £10 to spend in the Lili Of The Valley online store.  There is a new release of stamps due out soon from LOTV so a voucher to spend in the store would be very welcome I'm sure :)
