Liebster Blog Award Recipient!!

Patti from Patti's PaperScraps gave me this award!!  I was one of her five picks!

The origins of the Liebster Blog award are somewhat unclear but general consensus is that the originated in Germany, Liebster meaning favorite or dearest to showcase bloggers with fewer than 200 followers.  Upon accepting this award the recipient must then pass it on to five more blogs of note.

Here are my 5 picks:

Nickie Hoffer -http://nickiehoffer.blogspot.com/ gave us a sneak peak with  a card she created with the new Pemberly paper coming out Feb.1 from the new Spring/Summer CTMH Idea Book.

Pam - http://pamtctmh.blogspot.com/  created some wonderful winter layouts with the Wonderland paper.

Kristina Ponte - http://kponte.blogspot.com/  has created some beautiful layouts from her trip.

Lisa - http://bzscrapper66.blogspot.com/  has some beautiful cards on her blog.

Angel - http://angelctmh.blogspot.com/  has the cutest card for Mojo Monday 225 on her blog (Jan.25) using the new Lucy paper also coming out Feb. 1 from the new Spring/Summer CTMH Idea Book.

Have fun looking at these creative ladies blogs.

Thanks again Patti :)
