Challenge Title: Think P-I-N-K!
Hostess: PH in VA a/k/a Patricia
Keyword: HYCCT1115
Date: Saturday, October 15, 2011
Pink is the color associated with breast cancer. Today I'd like you to "think pink" a little differently. Your challenge is to create a card using products, images, sentiments, or techniques that begin with the letters P, I, N and K. You may include other things, but your card must have the following four required elements: at least one thing beginning with P, one thing beginning with I, one thing beginning with N, and one thing beginning with K. When you upload your card, please mention in the details what your P, I, N, and K elements are.
Here are some ideas for each letter to help the creative juices flow. If you can think of other things that fit the challenge, you're more than welcome to use them, too!
P: Peach Parfait, petals, pig, puppy, person, paisley, punches, pop dots, pinking shears, paper piecing, party, Pink Cat Studios

I'd like to extend a hug of thanks to my sample makers: Lee (LuvLee), Karen (kthaman), Michelle (tygerpaws11) and Lydia (Understandblue). Please join me in giving them some gallery love!
Thank you so much for participating in this card drive! I'm really looking forward to seeing what all of you create when you Think P-I-N-K!
Thanks for the K suggestions - my brain froze when it saw that! I'm imagining a weird card with pink kittens in a nest, LOL. But I'm going to take a nap while some pavlovas are in the oven, and hopefully I'll have some more intelligent ideas after that.
For today's Hope You Can Cling To Challenge, using elements representing P-I-N-K, I came up with the following items:
P for Pinking Shears
I for Ivy
N for Neutral background (white for ivy image)
K for kitten

Phew, it took a bit of thinking, but I managed to combine it with today's IC quite successfully.
P - Parchment, Personal Impressions stamp
I - inked edges, Impression Obsession backgrounder
N - Nestabilities
K - kraft paper
I first thought of this challenge idea about two months ago. Since then, I've been working on a list of things for each of the letters. I wanted to be able to provide some ideas to help out the challenge participants.
So yeah - it took me a while to come up with ideas for each letter too!
Ohhhh, you're going to make us think with this one. Off to my craft room for a scavenger hunt for supplies starting with P-I-N-K...how fun! Is your profile pic a James Madison Duke Dog?

Yes - it's Duke Dog! Go Dukes!
Hmmm... I wonder if I can find a live stream of the football game online. I'm not sure what time it was supposed to start, but I know it's a home game against Villanova.
And it's a GORGEOUS day for a football game here in the Valley - a bit breezy, but sunny and beautiful.
P -- Picket fence die cut
I -- Ink from the Touch Twin markers and distress ink
N -- Nature for the cone flowers
K -- Knot...tied the twine with a knot...!!
Y'all are rocking the challenge!!! I've been commenting on everything that's been uploaded so far, and I'm sitting here with a huge grin on my face, taking in all the creativity that's being shown.
Here is my HYCCT1115 P. I. N. K. Card and what a fun way to challenge us.
P is for pink and purple all around,
I is for "I simply enjoy you",
N is for new product - the Sizzix and Hero Arts Die Cut and Stamp set,
K is for Kids on Parade.
I'm sending four of the these cards. Thanks, Debby

Happy Sunday, y'all! I hope everyone's day has gotten off to a good start and that you're able to enjoy some crafting time. I'll be trying to make cards while I conquer Mount Washmore.
