What a nice surprise!

I checked into my blog today and read a very surprising comment!  One of my favourite scrapbookers, Jody Rogers, nominated me for a Liebster Award!  Some of you know Jody from Urban Scrapbook, as an employee and instructor but she has recently moved to Winnipeg.  We all miss you Jody!  Make sure you stop by her blog, Creative Authority and check out what she's been up to and say hello!  Thank you so much, Jody for nominating me!

Liebster is German and means 'dearest' or 'beloved' but it can also mean 'favorite'. The idea of the Liebster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. So, in the spirit of good fun I am passing this award on to five other bloggers. Please stop by and visit

 them.

The Rules are:

1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

2. Reveal your five picks for the award and let them know.

3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogshare-other bloggers.

5. Finally and the best rule of all..........have fun and spread the love! 

So with that, here are my five picks!

Everything Happens for a Reason - Pat 

Livelovebecreative- Krista 

Bend in the Road - Roslyn

Grammiesthots - Nicole
La maison de Plum - Suzanne

I know all of these ladies from Urban Scrapbook, except for Suzanne, who is a very creative lady from Quebec!  These are all very creative people that share the love for paper and all things creative on their blogs.  Please visit their blogs and spread the love!

I can't have a post without something to show.  Here's a card I made using Authentique's Gathering collection.

The clock is made using a new embossing folder from Couture Creations' World Fair Collection called Renaissance.  I used Kraft Core paper, so after I embossed it, I sanded it and then cut it out.  Loved how the clock turned out. 

Have a great week!
