Liebster Blog Award!!

First of all....."Thank you for thinking of me Sarah, you have made my day"!

I was tagged by my very dear "Bloggie" friend Sarah (The Stressed Stamper) and given the "Liebster Blog" award!!! This award is given to recognize a blog that you feel doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I know we all have blogs we follow and wonder, "Why doesn't this person have more followers?". This is a good way to share these blogs with others who normally wouldn't have seen them. Hopefully I will share at least one blog that you haven't had the chance to enjoy. These ladies are Super talented and it was hard to narrow my choice down to just five.

If you have been TAGGED and want to participate? Then create a post where you post the 'LOVE BLOG' image. You should also blog the persons link that gave you the award and inform her/him that you accept the award. You can then choose 3 - 5 favourite blogs which you also link in your post, then each blogger will inform you that they have been tagged

Dear bloggers,
The aim of this action is that we bring unknown, good blogs to light, so I would ask you not to blog fellow bloggers that already have 3,000 followers. I follow so many blogs , but I chose 5 that I think deserve more followers than they have, because in my opinion they make stunning - yes stunning card...Please pop over and show them some love - honestly I promise you will NOT be disappointed.





Here are my picks (in no particular order):

1. Toni ...Cuppa-Craft

2. Gemma...De FreubelFreule

3. Jackie...Jackie's Space

4. Mary...Southern Moments

5. Kim...From My Stamp Room

Passin' on some Love...
