Thank you, thank you Karen for giving me this special award.  Karen's works is simply stunning, so I'm especially honoured to be chosen by her.  Check out her artwork for yourself!

And now it's my turn to pass on the award to 5 other talented people (with fewer than 200 followers).  So here we go:

Tina Crocker: a card-maker extraordinnaire, Tina's cards are cute and detailed and inspiring!

Melanie Logan: I've admired her work for as long as I've known her.  She creates some gorgeous layouts.

Alanna Moses: We've never met but I love the work that she does.  Her cards are simple and clean and stunning.

Jenn Joncas: a great gal I've "virtually met" thru the CTMH network but never met in person.  She does some beautiful work and we share a love of House Mouse stamps. 

And last, but definitely not least:
Kim Mathers:  not a scrapbooker but a fellow writer.  And what a sense of humour she has!  Check out her Loathe Letters and have a great laugh.
