Pink Christmas!!

Happy Monday morning to you :)
The challenge at Cute Daisy May this week is ...Pink Christmas!! It's lovely to see all the traditional Christmas colours...but being the creative type that we are...it's good to see variation too. So put aside all those rich golds, deep reds and greens and gather up all those powder and sugar pinks...not forgetting the glitter of course!!! :)
