Since I have your attention (well, for those of you still reading, I know some of you have wandered off by now). I was very touched to receive two nominations for the Liebster Blog recently from Lunch Lady Jan and Cindy. Oh my gosh! Thanks so much! It was so cool to get nominated and recognized. I'm very tickled.
So, for my part of the bargain, I have to nominate five of my favorite up and coming blogs that have fewer than 200 followers. That was truly a hard choice and I feel bad about some of the ones I didn't mention. Here are 5 in no particular order:
1. 505 Whimsy Girl What can I say? She takes great pictures, makes lots of cards, and often has a bigger mess on my desk than I do--all things to love. Plus the "505" always makes me think of yummy salsa, and that makes me happy.
2. Linda AKA Blue Summer House Design Okay, I confess that I only just discovered her blog and spent quite a bit of time reading post after post. She makes and shares lots of great cards that I find to be very inspiring. I plan to be a regular visitor.
3. Ally Cat Cards Again, she makes and shares awesome cards, lots of bright cheery designs that make me want to get out my stamp stuff and play.
4. I SPI (stamps paper ink) She makes the best cards with the most scrumptious paper. This blog encourages me to cut up and use the "good" paper and just enjoy.
5. The Bloggess She's not crafty (well, not the way we are) and she's got way more than 200 followers, in fact she has a whole fan club, but dang it all, when I need laugh, a giggle, or divine inspiration, I go here. Bring tissues, you'll laugh until tears come out of your eyes.... um, as long as you have a warped sense of humor that is. And you must, cuz you're here!
And a bonus referral:
6. Simplicity I couldn't nominate Susan because of her having more than 200 followers, but I would be remiss in leaving her out of any blog listing. Hers was the first blog I checked all the time, waiting anxiously for the next post. Her style is CAS and often one-layed. Neither are me, but I find her blog so motivational.The Fine Print: Mice stamp by Penny Black, background paper and brads by unknown, large heart punch by Marvy, heart border punch by Martha Stewart, ribbon from Michaels.

Your card is very nice. Congrats on your blog award too!
Wow, this card turned out beautifully! Sounds like it was a bit of a fight but you are obviously the winner in this fight! Well done you!
