Sorry for the Challenge Delay

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delay in this week's challenge!  I was visiting Vegas with a girlfriend and only recently returned home!  I hope you'll forgive me.  If it makes you feel any better, it was a balmy -21C when I arrived home in Calgary~! YIKES!  So without further adieu, thanks to all that participated in last week's punch/diecut challenge!  Some fantastic entries and a few new DT entries as well!Good luck to everyone that entered.  We will be closing the DT call on the 25th of November, so you still have some time to get in! Just add DT to your challenge entry this week or contact Tammy with a link to your blog and a sample of your work!

To make up for the delay in this week's challenge I have randomly picked 3 winners from all the entries!

Congratulations to Tammylee Newberry, Piali and Joyce.  Please contact Tammy to claim your prize and your blog badge!

This week's challenge is a fun one, and ironically enough, considering I just came back from Las Vegas, an appropriate one.....BRING ON THE BLING! That's right, we want to see your bling this week, as little or as much as you can muster.  Remember, you don't have to use an AIF image to enter but we would love it if you did and you would get an extra entry to win.  You can visit our store for some great images to choose from and also don't forget to check out our freebie section as well.  Mia is adding new ones all the time!  I just saw the cutest little Christmas image of a bird holding a present that I definately want to use for some holiday tags this year!
Now here are the rules for this challenge: Link up your entry using the link at the bottom.  You can enter as many times as you want, as long as you create a new project for each entry and you can combine it with as many other challenges as you like.  All entries need to be uploaded by 11:59EST on Wednesday November 24th to qualify to win this week's image and blinkie for your blog.  If you are uploading from an online gallery please tag it with AIF057 so we can easily find it and leave you some love! 

Here is this week's image

 

It's called As Cool as Myself and I think it just rocks!  Here are a couple of DT cards to get you started.
