I visit a TON of blogs and it's always hard to pick out just 5 favorites so if your name isn't here it doesn't mean that you aren't a favorite of mine.
1. Laura - She is super duper talented so if you haven't checked her out yet be sure to do so.
2. Paula - A blog I recently discovered through Anna Wight (Sweet Miss Daisy). She does fabulous coloring.
3. Sharon - Another new blog I've been enjoying. She has a nice clean approach to stamping that I really like.
4. Jenn - She has such fun cards on her blog and oh so cute.
5. Jackie - Yet again another new blog that I've added to my list of favorites. You'll find clever, cute & creative cards here.
Be sure to check them out.
