Versatile Blogger Award

Hello everyone

Just to let you all know i have been nominated for the versatile blogger award and i would like to say thanks very much i really do appreciate it.  Once again i have been very tardy and not acted upon the first one straightaway so i've ended up with 5 nominations i think.  Thanks you all very much ladies and apologies if i have missed anyone.

Thanks to ZoLindsayMariePauline and Jan.

This award comes with its rules ..........

"If you are nominated, you have been awarded the Versatile Blogger award".  First, you should thank the person who gave you this award. then:

  • Include a link to their blog,
  • Select 15 blogs that you have either recently discovered or follow regularly,
  • Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award,
  • Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.


Ok so 15 Blogs...decisions....decisions! i am also going to say why i nominated each one as i really do enjoy looking at all their fab creations and get loads of inspiration from them.

My nominations for the Versatile Blogger Award are all people who in their own way have an impact on me,  in no particular order.  



Linda   http://lindasrainbowcraftingcabin.blogspot.com/   Lindas work is absolutely, awesome, amazing, stunning, brilliant and any other word you can think of.  If ever i need to see how to colour something in i go and check lindas work out as she is just brilliant.  She is also the queen of paint fusion after Sheena of course.


Ali  http://simplystylishstamping.blogspot.com  Ali is just amazing too.  She makes fabulous cards and other projects.  If ever i need some inspiration for Clean and simple cards or elegant and stylish ones.  She is also an extremely lovely lady who listens whether you are up or down.  


Marcea  http://marceascraftingcorner.blogspot.com  Marceas colouring is amazing too and i often pop along to her blog to see how she has coloured images in.  I also take inspiration from her layouts and colour schemes as she is fab at putting cards together.  


Lynsey http://lynseys-place.blogspot.com  Lynsey makes some stunning cards and again its her layout and colour schemes i love to look at.  She is also a fab scrapbooker and i know the next time i am going to get round to putting some together myself i will be popping over to her blog for ideas.


Lisa http://crafty-moments.blogspot.com  lisa is a fabulous card maker and if you haven't been over to her blog yet you should do asap.  she seems to get the colours and layout just perfect every time.  i love looking at her cards as i love every single one.


Katina http://katinakilley.blogspot.com/  Katina, what a lovely name and i have only been following katina for a short time but i have fallen in love with her cards.  She is another card maker who has perfected the style of clean and simple and her cards are amazing.


Karen http://kraftykarens.blogspot.com/  Karen really is an inspirational crafter she even designs her own cards of which i purchased a number of kits.  Her colouring is superb and i often pop along to her blog just to look at what she has been up to next.  


Kerry http://aloadofoldpickle.blogspot.com  Again i have not long been following kerry but there is not a card on her blog that i dont love to bits.  She has made some stunning cards and they are all so stylish.  


Kate http://kraftsbykatemartin.blogspot.com/  Kate is an amazing card maker, another clean and simple style.  When looking at her cards recently i went off to try and find one of the stamps she had used so she must be inspirational to me if i want to buy something that she has used and made such a fab job of.


Marianne http://mariannescraftroom.blogspot.com  Marianne has a fantastic style in making her cards and putting them together.  she puts fab colours together with amazing papers and such a wide range of stamped images.  i love looking at her cards.


Donka http://donkascraftycorner.blogspot.com/  Donka makes some fab cards and she has the knack of getting colours just right.  Her cards are just stunning and the composition of her cards are fab.  She is fab at colouring too.


Catherine http://catherine-whatkatydidnext.blogspot.com/  Catherine is someone i have been following since i started blogging and i have missed her of late.  i love looking at Catherine's cards as she is so versatile and i never know what type of cards she will make next.


Sharon  http://sharonslittleblog.blogspot.com  Sharon has a lovely pretty style to her cards, again simple and stylish.  The colours she uses are soo pretty and she doesn't swamp her cards with loads of unnecessary embellishments.  Each card is just right.


Beckie http://outofthebexdesign.blogspot.com/  Beckies cards are just my sort of style which is why i like them.  they are so well laid out and colourful.  I have only been following her for a short while but i really look forward to viewing each one.


Margaret http://foxglovecrafting.blogspot.com/ Margaret has only been blogging since january and she has posted lots of stunning cards in these couple of months.  All of her cards are just gorgeous i really don't know how she comes up with so many different styles.  


Ok there is my fifteen and I'm sorry if your name is not above but i love looking a t loads more blogs than these.  If i listed every single one that i love i would be here till Christmas i can tell you.


Ok now i have to tell the people who nominated me 7 things about myself.

I have two children who only have 51 weeks between their ages.
I am related to a pop star.

  3. Wow, thank you Louise, though I am going to struggle to find time to blog this at the moment! I think you and I must have started blogging at around the same time because I have been following you from the beginning too and love your work. I am missing my blogging just now but know if I don't stand firm I will never get my other projects finished by Easter!

    1. Its not a problem Catherine, you can only do it when you have time to and i know how busy you are at the minute. That would not have been a reason to leave you out of my list though. xx

    1. You are welcome Kate and that's what happened to me, i just didn't have time to post it and then ended up with 4 or 5 nominations so thought while i was watching tv last night i would write my mammoth psot. So glad i have as it gave me some time to sit and ponder and really think why i love all of you lovely ladies work as i really wanted it to mean something instead of me just doing it quickly and picking the first fifteen people without a good reason. xx
