Colour Challege No 13 ..Pink and White .... and a Christmas Candy Winner ......

Hi everyone, it's a quiet weekend in the Ribbon Girl shop this weekend as Andrea is away on a crafting weekend with friends so Mum (that's me Mary) is home alone and in charge today to start our latest Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge. This month the colours for the challenge were chosen by Jane and she chose everyone's favourite of PINK and WHITE

We do of course have a prize for the challenge from our regular sponsor Lili Of The Valley, a £10 voucher to spend in their store (and did you see the new release last week? ...) We also have a Pink Ribbon Kit from the Ribbon Girl - please go to the bottom of this post to find the winner of our Christmas Embellishments Give Away

We only have a few simple rules which will hopefully keep our challenge fair to all who enter - create a new project that follows the colour theme (please no backlinking to older projects) and mention this challenge in your blog post. Link your direct blog post using the InLinkz button at the bottom of the post, this challenge will run until December 3rd 9PM (UK time)

Our talented Design Team have once again created a beautiful array of pink and white projects featuring ribbons, lace, buttons, felt, charms, pins and twine from the Ribbon Girl to inspire you:

A warm welcome to Astrid our Guest Designer for November
