Liebster Blog Award

I have had such a fun time these last two months finally getting out there and participating in the blogging community. So many creative individuals, it's really overwhelming. Imagine my surprise when I received a Liebster Blog Award from three lovely ladies with incredible blogs:

Cyndie who is not afraid to try new things or techniques to provide others with inspiration. You need to check out her flowers made of modeling film!

Suzanne whose blog is the first one I fell head over heals for. Each and every card is so well executed. It's always a treat to see her posts.

Nancy who is a crafting chameleon - making graphic clean and simple cards, then switching it up to do more vintage, layered cards.

Now for details on the award. 'Liebster' is German for 'dearest'. The award is a 'share-the-love' arrangement, given to inspirational bloggers with less than 200 followers. Here's the to-do list of any Liebster award recipient:

- Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you;
- Reveal your five blogger picks and leave a comment on their blog to let them know;
- Copy and paste the award on your blog; and
- Hope that those you award forward it to their favorite bloggers.

Below are five favorite bloggers who have different styles but always inspire me with their work. This award is a great chance to officially thank them for sharing their passions with the rest of us.

Nicole at oncloud8 (fantastic photography and life experiences - spaghetti on a table)
Kirsti at Bondi Papercraft (perhaps my favorite card ever - a cassette tape with ribbon coming out that spells "I Love U")
Mindi at Niebuhrchicks (great project life pages and free printables - thanks!!)
Chris at Hutch Studio (inspirational 3D paper projects, like a paper house light fixture)
Marie at Stitch in Time (love her mixed media scrapbook pages and December Dailies)

Thanks so much for all the inspiration you've given me! Please share the love and visit these talented individuals.
