GCDT Simply Sunday Challenge: Arrrrgh Matey!

** This is my SECOND post for today! To view my Birthday Sundaes Challenge post scroll down or CLICK HERE! Thank you! **

 Hi again, everyone!

I'm back with another challenge from Getting Cricky! Today's Simply Sunday Challenge is: Arrrgh Matey! Create a project with a pirate or fish theme!

Well, since I recently created a project with a pirate on it, I thought I'd go for a fishie today!

supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents), turquoise, yellow (Recollections), orange (PaperTrey Ink); DP: Echo Park; cricut cartridge: fishbowl cut at 3 1/4" (Life is a Beach Cartridge); stamp set: Splashtastic Summer (K Andrew Designs); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); twine (The Twinery); Modern Label Punch (SU!)

I figured that this card would be fitting for this week. I'm nearing the end of my design team term with Getting Cricky and K Andrew Designs and I wanted to create a card of encouragement! And how appropriate: I'm ending with the sentiment stamp set that started my love for K Andrew Designs stamps!

Thank you to Kristal and the rest of the Getting Cricky Design Team! It's been a fabulous 4 months and I'm super honored to have been designing alongside you ALL!

Thank you all for visiting me today! Have a fabulous Sunday! :)

Welcome the “Getting Cricky With It” Surprise Blog Hop for Kristal!!!

 Today the Design Team is bringing you some very special projects created for our wonderful and amazing leader Kristal! Our term is almost over and we wanted to show her just how much we appreciate ALL that she has done for us this term. The projects that we will be sharing with you will also be sent to Kristal. We encourage ALL of her fans to join in on the fun as well! Be sure to add your card/project to the link below and then be sure to mail it off to her!

 If you've hopped along from JESSIE'S BLOG then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Kristal's blog (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help! K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America. You can learn even more about Kristal's stamps (and pick some up for yourself) by visiting her online store: K Andrew Designs:

Here's my card for today's HOP and for Kristal!

supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents), Solar White (Neenah); DP: My Mind's Eye; image stamp: Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps; sentiment stamps: Coffee & Tea for You & Me (K Andrew Designs); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Chocolate Chip (SU!); oval nestabilities (Spellbinders); mini brads: SEI

For my card today, I really wanted to use the Coffee & Tea for You & Me Set so I paired it with one of my newest stamps from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps! I'm really loving creating cards with coffee images - I'm slowly becoming addicted to coffee! I'm trying to limit myself, but I'm finding that, with me working nights, AND me getting older (and the kids getting older and busier), it's harder to stay awake!

Anyway, here's the fabulous set by Kristal!

Cute right?!

Anyway, the hop still continues! Now you can dance on over to your next stop: LETILLIA'S BLOG!

Simply Sunday Challenge: It's a Celebration!

Hi y'all! Happy New Year and welcome to my first crafty post of 2012! I can't believe I can officially say that now! *lol*

It's Sunday and it's time for another Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky! This challenge is all about CELEBRATIONS - so put on your thinking caps and create a project to celebrate a new job, a new home, an anniversary, etc. - whatever your crafty heart can come up with!

Here's my card today:

supplies: CS: grey, Very Vanilla (SU!); DP: SU! (retired); die cut image: from the Cricut cart Sweethearts (cut at 3 1/4"); ink: Chocolate Chip (SU!); ribbon (SU!); sentiment: Coffee & Tea TREATS Tag-Along Sentiments (K Andrew Designs); scalloped square punch (SU!)

So my card today celebrates an anniversary or it can be given for Valentine's Day... You know how after you've been married or with someone for many years, the spontaneity just sort of fizzles and everything becomes predicable... comfortable... and sometimes, routine? Well, this card is perfect to celebrate  the FIRE again! *lol*

I cut this image from my brand new Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge at 3 1/4". I think it was the perfect size for my card. I kept it really simple and just left it one-tone like a silhouette. I used more of my favorite SU! Bella Bleu (retired) DP and voila! a Celebratory love card. :)

Of course I had to use some fabulous K Andrew Designs sentiments from the Coffee & Tea TREATS Tag-Along Sentiments set... Check out the preview below (click on it to purchase!)

Such cute sentiments, right?

Hope you get to play along with us for our Simply Sunday Challenge! This challenge runs for 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to get your creativity juices flowing! For more inspiration, stop by the Getting Cricky blog to take a peek!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy New Year! :)

........................................

aloha!

Hi everyone!

I had a little bit of time in my craft room today and wanted to share with you a card I made:

supplies: DP: green (Bazzill), Whisper White (SU!), Solar White (Neenah); DP: Echo Park; image stamp: Hula Anya (The Greeting Farm); sentiment stamp: Splashtastic Summer set (K Andrew Designs); stamping ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Pear Tart (Memento); grass punch: Martha Stewart; cloud punch: Fiskars; twine: The Twinery; mini brads: SU!; other: Copic markers, dimesnional adhesive

It's been a while since I've inked up my Hula Anya, but I thought it was appropriate - my family and I are headed to Hawaii next year! *happy dance* I'm super excited because this is our first BIG trip to Hawaii with the kids. We used to go almost every year before DH and I got married but after having kids... well, you know how that goes.

Anyway, I wanted to create this card as my FIRST official member of the Getting Cricky Junior DT. I used the "aloha" sentiment from the Splashtastic Summer set - I'm TOTALLY in love with these sentiments! You ALL know how much I love collecting different "aloha" stamps - I just had to have this one in my collection too!

AND another great thing about these sets? Kristal donates a portion of each sale to charity! Gotta love that!

Here's the set I used:

Cute, right?

Anyway, I'm also joining in on the fun at Card Patterns this week! It's been a while since I've played along! :)

Thank's for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Yay!

Hi All!

Happy Monday! I have some FABULOUS news to share! I've been asked to be a part of K Andrew's Getting Cricky Junior DT! Remember THIS card? Yeah, the one that I made for the DT call, but didn't think was worthy enough for me to be invited? Well, guess what? I'm WORTHY! :)

I'm SUPER excited to get to with some awesome K Andrew Design Stamps and showing you what I can do with them - Yup, you all KNOW that I love me some GOOD SENTIMENT STAMPS!

Best of all, that means I'll have more crafty posts to share with you during the week - YAY!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a fabulous week, friends! :)
