5000+ HITS ~ 'BLING' ing beautiful challenge

I just wanted to show my appreciation to you all, because I am sooo overwhelmed by the amount of hits I have received in such a short space of time. Thank you to each and everyone of you who has taken the time to visit my blog.

By way of saying thank you, I thought I would set a challenge, entitled.....'BLING'-ing beautiful. Where byI would like you to make a card of your choice, the only stipulation is that it has to feature some form of 'BLING'. Whether that be glitter, gems, sparkly buckles, anything you choose.

One lucky blogger will then win the stash featured in the post below. I would like to emphasise that I WILL NOT be choosing the winner. I will leave that unenviable job up to my friend Leigh. I will have her to choose the winner Saturday, April 12 at10pm.

I have made two cards with my bit of'bling' ,which I received from Natalies' blog candy. Thanks again Natalie, for it was these that gave me the initial idea. I hope you enjoy this challenge. I can't wait to see your creations.. Please leave a comment on this post if you want to take part and where your card is and I will then put up a list on this post who has entered. I hope I have made myself understood. Any queries just ask. Once again huge thanks to everyone.
xx Vicki xx
