artful adventures kristie sloan liebster award

Joanna Grant from Joanna Banana Original Designs who has a blog about Mixed Media with Recycled Materials  kindly gave me a Liebster Award.  It is an award awarded by bloggers to other bloggers.  It’s really about discovering new blogs which don’t have a huge following yet.

Thank you, Joanna for thinking of my blog and giving me this award.  I feel so honored to accept this and pass it on to five other very deserving bloggers!

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 five blogs that you like that have fewer than 200 followers, to encourage new visitors to visit these 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

It’s hard to choose only five bloggers who I find inspiring but here are my choices of art blogs that have less than 200 followers and that I know you will enjoy:

Beth Solar – ScrappingWonders.com

Danielle Taylor – ScrapperOnTheStreet.com

Alice Boll – ScrapbookWonderland.com 

Gina Z – MesstakenIdentity.com

Heather Dubarry – NoExcusesScrapbooking.com 

(I may have included a blog with over 200 followers as the number of followers was not always listed but I still felt that these individuals were very deserving as some of these are newer blogs!)

Recipients, you may copy and paste to your blog and change the introduction and the list of blog awards. I hope that you decide to participate and award some other very deserving artists. Make their day!!!

Cheers to YOUR Creativity!

NOTE:
There really doesn’t seem to be an official Liebster Award site, and if you do the techno-research, you can actually find several versions.  I think it is a great idea, and even in it’s chain letter style, I still appreciate the thought and the idea of supporting other bloggers who are working to offer great content to others!

My friend Beth Solar over at ScrappingWonders.com asked me to do a guest post for her today!  I am so honored to be invited to share with Beth’s readers because she is has such an excellent site!  I certainly hope I can live up to what her readers are used to!  If you are reading this after the publishing date, here is the link to the specific post:  No Photos, No Problem.

Use a pocket style page and fill with patterned paper, embellishments, and of course your story!

Jump over to find out some tips I shared on documenting some of your stories when you don’t have any photos!  I even give you an opposite tip about how to scrap a bunch of photos when you don’t have much in the way of stories!  Hey, that’s the way I like it — if there’s a problem I’m going to find a way to fix it and move on.

You should be sure to sign up for Beth’s emails while you are at her site.  I am NOT kidding, she has great tips!  I love her Tuesday phone app reviews.  I had no idea there were so many phone apps to do all kinds of things with your pictures from your phone.  Shoot, I don’t even do Instagram yet!  Now GO!  🙂
