Midway "BLING IT ON" at Simply Magnolia AND my 100th post!!!!

Good Sunday morning fellow bloggers!!

Hope that everyone has enjoyed a FABULOUS weekend!!

Okay so things have been rather hectic for me of late...computer issues and just life in general!!  I feel that I am pretty much caught up now though so I'm looking forward to getting back into my blogging routine...which I have SO missed...lol!!!

So let's start off with my Team Glamour "Bling it on" DT project for Simply Magnolia...I have known what I wanted to do for this challenge right from the start and was so looking forward to creating it because...well hey I get to use up some of my LOVELY bling...colour those sweet Tildas and keep it for myself!!  I made myself "The Bling Box"!!!

AND I NEED TO WARN YOU...this is picture HEAVY once again...lol!!!

Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
I started off with a Tim Holtz Configurations Book from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Collection...
covered it with one of my favourite Maja papers from the Sofiero collection...
inked with distress ink, applied Gesso and then wiped down with a baby wipe...
 this is Tilda with Dexter the Dragon from the Animal of the Year 2014 collection...
I used my distress inks again...
I always loved working with the distress inks but haven't used them in a while so I figure if I keep practicing eventually I'll get the hang of them again...LOL!!...
sprinkled my beloved Frantage and mounted on white ruffled ribbon...
 Sneaky Tilda also from the Animal of the Year collection...
 computer generated "The Bling Box"...
 ripped the paper and inserted the opposite side to show through...
Frantaged two buttons and zipper charm...
 added beads and ribbon to the stick pin...
 added the diamante safety pin/ribbon knot to the lace that runs along the side...
 I have been so wanting to use this Diamante Cluster pin but it's so hard to give away...
so I gave it to ME...LOL!!...
added feathers and flowers...
the leaves are just scraps from a die...you never know when you'll use those scraps...
 added ribbon/lace around the book outside...
 and this is the storage inside for my wonderful bling...
I inked it all, applied Gesso and Maja paper inserts...
I'll need to organize better but you get the idea...
now this is the inside book cover...
YES it's blank...
I need your help...I was just too TIRED (when I finished this at 6:00 a.m.) to think of a witty saying to add to the inside...
IDEAS??? fellow crafters...
 
NOW in finishing up this MY 100th post I would like to offer blog candy to one random follower (you must be a follower) who leaves a comment on THIS post from today's date until next Saturday when this Simply Magnolia challenge ends!!  I will include any comments made from now until Saturday evening 6:00 p.m. EST.
