I've Won an Award!


My friend Caz at http://cazscraftysnug.blogspot.com/ has nominated me for a blog award. I am so chuffed!
Thank you so much xxx



The LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD is used to show appreciation of smaller blogs (under 200 followers) and to help spread readership and joy.

As part of the tradition the award is to be passed along to five other blogs that have motivated and inspired me.  The name comes from the German meaning Dearest or Beloved, but can also mean Favourite.

To accept the Award you must:

1. Link back to the person's blog who gave it to you, and thank them.
2. Post on your blog.
3. Give to five other Bloggers who you appreciate and value.
4. Leave a comment on the five blogs you choose and let them know.

And here are the five people who I think deserve this award:

Jen - http://thetinybluebutterfly.blogspot.com/
Lorraine - http://lorrainebailey.blogspot.com/
Deb - http://pinkdandelionscraftspace.blogspot.com/
Fiona - http://lildaff.blogspot.com/
Helen - http://molecraft.blogspot.com/

I hope you all will accept this award.

tulip jungle

I was inspired to make a card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, which is "floral frenzy"

This image seemed totally apt!



I decided to use a sketch from "sketch and stash", their current  challenge  is free choice sketch, so I chose sketch 7 for my card - papers, stamps and gems from stash.



Hopefully I will get the hang of this blogging lark - my card fitted more challenges yesterday - I just need to make it quicker.

Ingredients:

Papers: first edition - hideaway
Stamp : penny black - tulip jungle
Sentiment - lotv
Gems - from stash
Coloured with promarkers

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
