Blog awards!!

I received some blog awards from a couple very talented, creative, and sweet blog friends. Karen @ Kaleidoscopic Sparkles, is just the sweetest person, and a very gifted crafter. Every thing she creates she leaves a little of her soul stamped on it. You will be doing yourself an injustice if you don't visit her blog.  The other awards are from Shen @ My Curious Crafts. Shen is one of the most prolific crafters I know. Shen does not just post once a day, but usually several times a day! Each card is better than the one before. Her creations are very inspiring. Please go to her blog and be prepared to be wowed!

 There are different rules for these which I have done before, and I do not think anyone wants to hear it all again. I am not that interesting:)) So I will spare you that.


I am just going to say to these two wonderful ladies how much I appreciate their support they give me almost everyday! Even days I do not feel well I always try to go to their blogs and a few others. I will pass these on to a list of talented people in no particular order, below. Thank you again, Karen and Shen  my very sweet friends.

 This will be my list of talented crafters I wish to pass these awards on to, in no particular order. They are all just such wonderful crafters. Each of them different in style, but equally gifted! Please visit them and become a follower of their blogs.

If any of you ladies stop by just grab your awards, Hugs, Pam

Gingham makes me happy! And a Award too!!

One of the challenges this week was for a "Joy fold" card. I happen to really like this technique. So I made this birthday card with a new Emerson, stamp I just got. I love these stamps. I am not an artist, not even close. So with these stamps you can do very little coloring, or a bit more, whatever you want and the images are cute either way. I didn't use my cricut at all, but I did use  an EK punch. I'll list the challenges at the end of my post as I usually do.  The paper was DCWV and Bazzill.

See isn't this a cute stamp?? I actually colored it more than I usually do. I like this punch too. It looks like lace to me.  The next picture will be the inside of the card.

The butterflies I cut from a piece of pattern paper that I had in my stash. I have no idea where it came from. 

I added the red mat to have a place to write a message. I hope you like it:)))

The put this card in the following challenges:

Frosted Designs: Quote That!
Paper Cutz Challenge #100: "The Skies the Limit" (butterflies inside)
Crazy 4 Challenges C4C 96: Joy Fold Card
Gimme A Break Stamp Challenge #24: Stamp or product you've never used or rarely use(new stamp)
Birthday Sundaes Challenge # 18: Anything Goes

More Than Favors-Wacky Wednesday #45: Cricutless Challenge

I was also given a Best Friend Blogger Award from a sweet crafty friend named LaKesha @ Scrappin Diva.

She is a very special young woman. Not only is she very talented, she has a beautiful spirit!! Please go over to her site and give her some love. Be sure to leave her a comment and tell her I sent you, follower her too, she would love that. I am going to consolidate this with the other award I received. You can go here to see that if you wish to. Thank you again my sweet LaKesha. You are a blessing to me. Hugs, Pam

Stinkin' Cute and BFF Awards from Lisa, Shen, & LaKesha !!

Wow, a sweet blogger sister sent me  "2" awards. Lisa @  A Mermaid's Crafts  has thought of me for these two awards. The Stinkin Cute Blog Award  and  The Best Friend Blogger Award.  Lisa  is a wonderful crafter that if you haven't been to her blog you really need to visit her. She does amazing things with paper. I try to go every day, and she never has disappointed me.

The rules for the  Stinkin Cute Blog Award is, there are no rules. Just pass it on to at least 5 friends.

 

The Best Friend Blogger Award asks you to tell something about yourself, thank the friends who gave it to you.  And then pass it on to at least 5 friends.

Thank you so much Lisa you are so sweet. I just received this award from two other fabulous crafters too, Shen at My Curious Crafts. Shen is a prolific card maker. She does beautiful creations, and wonderful things with ribbon. Go over and see her cards, they are all so pretty. Thank you Shen for thinking of me. Also from LaKesha at Scrappin Diva. LaKesha is a lovely young woman who is very talented and gifted. She does beautiful work. Please go over and visit LaKesha, you will not be disappointed you did.

Something about myself is that I have been an Elvis Presley fan since about the age of 8. I own 65 or so DVD's. Music, concert, and movies. I still see the prettiest man I have ever seen every time I watch one. Which is often! I also share this obsession with my 12 yr. old granddaughter, who loves him too:) 

I am passing both of these to the following incredible paper crafters. Be sure to visit each of them you will love their blogs, and their creative projects. Each has different styles, all of them are brilliant!! These ladies are not the only ladies I could put on my list, but I am trying to pass around the love. My list is in no particular order. They are all equally wonderful!!

To except the award I am supposed to tell you something about myself.  Share with you who gave it to me, and provide a link to her blog.  Then pass it on to at least 5 friends. If you follow my blog you know I have an amazing husband. For Christmas he wrote me a book of prose. He has also composed a couple of CD's  of beautiful music, which he wrote, played, and sang entirely himself. Now this is what you need to know about me... I picked him!!!!!!!!   If you still want to know more about me go here.
