~*~ Ooooooohhhhhh ~*~

Lookey what the wonderful inspiring {pam} presented me with - an award for having an inspiring blog. Really?? Seriously I just post some random stuff on there and I am tickled pink to think that anyone would be inspired by my bloggy - I am totally thrilled to receive this wee little award.

The problem I have now is that all the scrappers who inspired me with their blogs and their work of art have already received this award, so what am I gonna do??

I will list for you again the girls and boys who inspire me to no end and I hope it is not against the rules to nominate peeps for the same award more than once...{hey, I am a rebel anyway - so who cares what is allowed and what isn't, right??}

My main inspiration has always been and will always be the one scrapper who's fault it is that I layer and ink until the cows come home. She still rocks my world and she was the first one I know of who used the dotted circle stamps on her layouts - so that alone is worth an award. You can check out my friend {jenn} here.

Now, this woman doesn't scrap but she inspired me with her witty style of writing, the way she tackles live and she has some AWESOME tips on how to tweak your photos (and she doesn't charge you for sharing what she knows). Thank heaven for {pioneer woman}

As for general crafting and blowing me away with EVERYTHING that she does (where the heck does she get all these ideas?? Superwoman she is in my humble opinion), in my next life I do want to come back as {vicki chrisman} . Tell me you can look at her work and not be inspired - impossible.

As for the next lady - if her email wouldn't have been eaten by my Spam folder, I would have never had the privilege to get to know the incredible {donna salazar} . Had her submission for one of the {rusty pickle} challenges gone right through I would have never started an email conversation with her. Many emails and blog comments later and I am proud to call her an online friend who inspires me with all her art.

Last but by no means least is the one chick who totally changed my way of looking at my hobby. No one else makes me wanna just dive right in and get dirty. {nat} is not afraid of trying new techniques and is totally doing her thing - regardless of what the industry tells us the "fashion" should be. I used masking tape on layouts thanks to Nat, I used bubble wrap and corrugated cardboard as a stamp. Now everybody is doing it.

There are so many more creative peeps who inspire me and I would like to name a couple more whose blogs are on my most watched list :

{danyeela} - who produces her own patterned paper
{sir tim}  - need I explain??
{anam} - purely amazing
