SPARKLES so Bright... You Gotta Wear Shades for Anything But a Card Challenges No. 33

Good Morning Everyone! It's a SPARKLY brand new month and time for a brand new ABAC Challenge. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful comments and those that "shared a story through scrapbooking" for Margarets's mini-challenge. Stay tuned for a new "Spotlight and Mini-Challenge" at the bottom of the month at the end of Challenge No. 33.

It's time for a new challenge today here at Anything But a Card Challenges... so get ready to play and have some fun! Kudos to all of the creative gamers who played along with Challenge #32 "Tic...Tac...LOVE". If you missed out on seeing all the amazing submissions... please CLICK HERE to check them out.

The new Challenge... Anything But a Card Challenge #33 - the word "SPARKLE"!! What does the word sparkle represent to you? Sparkle can be a personality trait, or a physical appearance, or an attitude. You could be inspired with the written definition; go with a passage from a book or poem - or even quote a song... and of course we include going crazy with bling!

Oh Yes! Sparkle for me is all about the Bling!

There was a lot of work go into these. Come on over and check out what I did on my BLOG. But then I decided to create even more sparkle. If you are going to shine do it big time.

Diana

I wanted to get as much sparkle as possible into the little wooden word. So there's glitter, glitter, and more glitter. Then there are some mica pieces. And a little bit of rusty pieces to round it all out! Check out my blog for more details!

Julia

I promise there is some shimmer here - the closest I can get to sparkle! There's also a little sparkly gem on my Fimo heart. The close-ups on my blog show more.  Please visit my blog for more details!

Susan

I have a large stash of glittery Christmas papers and this floral background was one of them. It had the perfect amount of "sparkle" to accompany this amazing quote by Virginia Woolf. I love this sparkly new entry in my art journal. Please visit my blog for more details!
