    Wonderful bling on the DT creations. Noticed that you indicate 3 entries allowed when it use to be 1. Did you mean to do this?

    So I'm just casually watching the video of your extremely blingy card being amazed by this technique and thinking of ways I can make a project for the challenge. I looked at the rest of the fabulous inspiration from the DT. Then to what did my wandering eyes appear...but my name as the last challenge winner. Super excited. Thanks Miss Emma for all the inspiration you and your team give me each week.

    This card did not turn out as I had thought it would. This sunshine was blinged up with sequins and stickles. I have added Timeless Twine and the sentiment and banner were perfect!
