Bling It On - A Challenge and a Belli and Some Candy Too!

Bling It On, birthday style! Here you all are at my stop on today's blog hop, are you feeling the excitement? As my frequent readers know, I must have been a magpie in a former life; my most favorite things in papercrafting are those that SPARKLE - glitter, rhinestones, Shimmerz...anything to give that touch of bling. So show me YOUR bling on any type of paper creation and you could WIN! It's that shiny, glittery easy!

I combined my challenge to you with a challenge to ME - Chris' weekly emBELLIshment challenge. This week is Belli #43 is for CORD! You can visit Chris's blog for more details and to link up your creations for a chance to win a prize! The rest of the Belli DT has inspiration for you too, and their blog links are in my left sidebar. The sketch is MOJO61 from Julee's Poetic Artistry blog.

So for the QKD Blog Hop Challenge and your chance to WIN BIG PRIZES......You have until midnight PST on Friday, November 21st to post the link to your creation to THIS POST to get your name in the drawing for one of the awesome Queen Kat birthday presents! {That's 2 AM Saturday, CST}. If you use QKD stamps on your project, you get to enter twice! For every blog challenge you do, you'll get one entry, so start hoppin'.

For my bling, I used two types of glittery paper of this card, I after I colored my cute little cootie I went over him with a glitter pen, and my shiny metal dots and cord round out my urge to sparkle for today! You can see all the glitz and glimmer if you click the photo to see the LARGE view {and it is way large, LOL}.

Oh, I almost forgot, and this is important!! In addition to getting an entry into the QKD big prize packages, when completing my challenge you will also get a chance to win some rockin' BLOG CANDY from ME!! I will draw one random winner from those participating in my Bling it On challenge to win a little prize package - some ribbon, flowers, bling, patterned paper, and the October issue of Paper Crafts magazine. I don't have a photo because I'll just grab some of everything and throw it in. The more people who participate, the more I'll throw in! So link up!
