Just a Few Fun Announcements!

So I don't have any challenge cards for you today, but I will share a really fun Christmas card that I made with my Repeat Impressions Christmas Penguins stamps!  Check it out:  

    

I just can't get enough of these guys!  I also got a chance to play with my Stickles, which I haven't done in awhile!  And the black ricrac just adds a fun touch!
EDIT: So I later realized that this card was perfect to enter into the City Crafter Challenge Week 25 - Hooray for the Holidays!  =)  Check out their blog HERE!!!

Finally, last week I mentioned that I was given a blog award, and I finally have time to accept it and pass it on!  So without further ado, I am so excited to happily accept this One Lovely Blog Award from the lovely Emily of My Little Slice of Bliss!


Thank you so very much Emily!  I am humbled and honored by this great recognition!  =)

Next, is the fun part!  I now get to pass this award along to seven lucky ladies whose blogs I really admire!  This was a tough decision because there are SO many blogs out there that I absolutely love!  My choices are:
