Tony and I made it to Glasgow! We had a lovely evening in Cumbria en route, waking up overlooking the dales, with some very long hairy cows in the field below our window. We only got caught up in traffic once, while trying to join the M6 in Birmingham. The setting up of the exhibition stand went extremly quickly, all thanks to our great team of girls back home.

Anyway back to my main reason for this posting - first part of our Bling Challenge, and Oh you did love the NEW ribbons!

Beryl's card says it all - Bling! Bling!  Those colours are just so gorgeous, you must come and have a look at them Stand E18 Hobbycrafts SECC Glasgow.

Beryl has changed the words of the rainbow song, instead of sing it reads bling!!!

We love the bling snowman scarf. (I thought this card was made by Beryl, but Beryl thinks it was made by her friend Wilma - Wilma HELP!!!)

This is a delightful verse that is inside the snowman card, I hope you can all read it.

Such a classy card Beryl.

Beryl's last card is very elegant and quite a stunner!

Dorothy also enjoyed our bling ribbons.

This is the inside of her charming card.

Dorothy wanted to try some new techniques with this challenge.  To make the ribbons curl as on her box, wrap the ribbons around a dowel and hold in place with pegs, mist with water and then place in the oven on the lowest setting until ribbons are dry.  Slip ribbons off the dowel and you have wonderful curls. Magic!!

This hair slide has been created by braiding the ribbons, what fun Dorothy. and it came in it's own little box.

Dorothy's last challenge goodie is a matching Hair band, Sydney had her eye on this little gem!!

Jan you had me fooled with this card only for a little while mind!!

It reads "HO HO HO"......

Jan has trimmed her cracker with the bling ribbons, love the cracker Jan but had a sneak peak inside and it was empty!!!!

Isn't this tag amazing and it comes with its own wallet, trimmed with bling.

I have an idea what the wallets are made from Jan but think you need to confirm it first!!

This is Liz's first challenge, no worries Liz all your creations are fantastic - we love them.

Look at those colours, just shouts BLING!

Liz's last card is rather spooky!

That's me done for this evening, I still have lots of goodies to share with you, but I need my sleep as we hope to be busy tomorrow.

Nite, nite.
