Liebster Blog Award

I just received this award from Barb

and had no idea what it meant.

Then I read further….

Well, so with that…

‘Liebster’ in German means ‘dearest’,

The idea of the award is to draw attention to blogs with less than 200 followers and pass the award on to 5 other bloggers all in the spirit of fostering new connections.

The rules for the award are :

1. Show your appreciation to the person who gave it to by thanking them and linking back to their blog.

2. Post the award to your blog.

3. Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and follow.

4. Leave a comment to the 5 bloggers to let them know you have chosen them for the award.

So I have some ‘thank you’s to give…

Thank you Barb for giving me this award

Now in light of keeping this Award going, I would like to give this award to :

Jerusha

For being an amazing DT coordinator and putting up with me!!

Edwina

Thank you for your wonderful friendship! Also the encouragement you give by

never giving up and doing all you can do even when you don’t feel good.

A is for AMAZING week!!!

Actually the new challenge at The ABC Challenge….A is for Auburn! But for me this past week has been AMAZING!  I made The ABC Challenge Design Team!!! In July they posted that they needed a couple DT members so I submitted my name. I got an email a couple days ago asking if I would like to join the team? WELL OF COURSE!! Have you seen the fun challenges they have over there….I would have never thought of A for Auburn! What a great way to challenge our creativity and get out of our comfort zone!!

So where is my card you ask? It’s coming! Like I said I just got notified 2 days ago! But I’m planning on crafting Friday so I should have a sample up soon. Oh and the sponsor this week is Meljen’s Designs and the prize for one lucky winner will be four digital images of their choice from Meljen. I’m so excited to work with Meljen’s stamps as I have had my eye on a couple for awhile now!

I will stop chatting away so you can go check out the challenge at The ABC Challenge!!

Yippee!! Wahooo!!!

Oh and look at the post ABOVE this one “Dog Days of Summer” for some MORE exciting news!!

Day 3 @ 365 Cards

DAy 3 @ 365Cards.blogspot.com

FOR CHALLENGES:

1)      Day 3: 365Cards.blogspot.com

Use fabric as a tool to apply ink or paint to your card any way you’d like. I used batting to dip into the paint and then blot/rub it on the textured white cardstock. Painting is not one thing I do often so this was out of my comfort zone. Like how it turned out!

Ribbon – American Crafts (old)

Cardstock – Bazzill orange peel texture
