Hero Arts - A stamp for all season/Leibster Award!

     Today I got a lovely email from Shirley-Bee, to say she

had nominated me for the Leibster award. I'd never heard of this

award before, but having checked it out, I think it is a lovely way to discover new blogs and bloggers.

Thanks for the nomination Shirley.

ABOUT THE AWARD

This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. Once you've been nominated, you award it to blogs that you like that have fewer than 200 followers, to encourage new visitors to visit these new blogs.

RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE

Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have fewer than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award!

PAY IT FORWARD

Here are the five blogs that I'm nominating.  I chose blogs which I often visit  and I am inspired by.
I have only just realised these ladies are all from Australia!!!! I promise this is a coincidence and I'm not just being nationalistic! Anyhow, go and check them out, they are definitely worth the  visit.  Better still, follow them then you won't miss out.

Now for a card. I made this Christmas card for using   Hero Arts big ticket stamp.
I wanted to make a Christmas card using non- Christmas supplies. I was inspired by some

Teresa Collins paper I had  in my stash. I think the red/black and white is a good colour combo for a male card.
I am entering this in the City Crafter Challenge
- the theme is Polka Dot Palooza!
