Blog Award!

Just a quick post to add a blog award that I was recently given by my fellow AnnaBelle DT member Lisa:


Thankyou so much Lisa!!! Make sure you visit Lisa's blog as she has many awesome, inspiring creations including her two latest cards which I have to CASE!

Now onto 5 blogs that I think deserve this award:
Karen - I have followed Karen's blog since I first discovered this fantastic hobby about 2 1/2 years ago and I love her clean style and great use of colours! Karen is a fellow PTI fan like myself, so I am constantly inspired by her creations.
Teneale -  Teneale makes THE most elegant and perfectly laid out cards and I have been checking out her blog for a very long time. The detail that goes into her cards is just amazing!
Sharon - I have had the pleasure of being asked to join Sharon's Colour Create team recently and in doing so, I have discovered her fantastic blog. Sharon has the most pretty, feminine cards and her coordination of patterned papers and colours is gorgeous.
Christine - I have seen Christine's cards in some of the challenges I have been entering lately and I find her use of stamps in a clean style and pairing of colours wonderful. There are a couple of colour combos over on Christine's blog that I will have to CASE soon!
Sue - Sue is a fellow DT member for AnnaBelle stamps and has had her work published regularly in Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine which is where I first saw her work. Sue constantly thinks outside the square when using any stamp set and I love her clean style also.

Now I have to tell you 5 things about myself:
1. I am the messiest, most untidy crafter I know! I like the idea of everything being organised, but I am too impatient and you will often find the materials for one card strewn from my craft room to the dining table to the coffee table. I need to work on this!
2. I am a qualified primary school teacher, now working as a Special Education teacher aide which I love! This is the most rewarding job I have ever had.
3. I am English by birth, living in Norwich until I turned 10 when my family moved out to Australia.
4. I spend way too many hours checking out my favourite blogs when I should be doing housework! My standards of cleaning have taken a nosedive since I discovered this hobby and this is something else I have to work on.
5. I am extremely passionate about this hobby and can't imagine not having it in my life now. I find it the best stress reliever and I love nothing more than seeing a recipient enjoying one of my handmade creations.
