You're Just Tea-iffic Card

For today's Card I used some scraps.  I made this card to give to a friend of mine.  Once again I did not use my Cricut or Gypsy.  This card took only a few minutes to make.  For this card I used Kristal's "Coffee &  Tea For You & Me" set...

Hope you have a great day, thanks for stopping by.

Simply Sunday Challenge: Winged Things

Simply Sunday Challenge:  Winged Things


 
For these card I used Kristal's "Winged Things" set
Welcome to another Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky and it's all about Winged Things.  I just loved this card, maybe it's because I love butterflies.  For once I did not use my Gypsy or Cricut. 
Now remember, for EVERY stamp set you purchase, Kristal is donating $1 to a charity.  Again, that's for EVERY stamp set, not just right now, or last week, but forever as long as she sells them.  So when you are thinking about purchasing a set, think about how you will be helping a charity also.  Isn't that just a great feeling too.  I must tell you that they are the best stamps that I have used so far! 


Please click on the link above it you would like to order Kristal's Stamps.

Hope you have a blessed week!

Getting Cricky Blog Hop

Welcome to the Getting Cricky Ustream Event and Blog Hop where we are showcasing three BRAND NEW sets of K Andrew Design's Stamp Art Sentiment Stamps!

All of the FUN will start RIGHT HERE at the Getting Cricky Ustream Channel at 9pm EST (6pm PST)...  So please click on the link and Join the Getting Cricky Crowd (if you are joining us later, we invite you to watch the recorded version of the Ustream so that you don't miss out on ANY of the EXCITEMENT!)!! 







If you're joining us after the Ustream, thank you!!  Each of us on the Design Team, along with our Special Guest - Amanda from Amanda's Crafts and More, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  
What an exciting night of NEW RELEASES we've had!!  So let's get HOPPING so we can each show you what we've created using one (or more) of Kristal's NEW stamp sets!! If you've hopped along from Janis 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, 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:

Love Link Up Party at Getting Cricky 8/16-8/23

Hi All,
Today is the Love Link up Party over at Getting Cricky.  I love these parties because it gives me a chance to check out some new ideas and maybe find a new blog or two.  

Here are the rules:
*Link Up Party runs from Tuesday 8/16 to Tuesday 8/23. Winners announced 8/29
*Grab my blinkie and post on your blog's sidebar
*Be a follower of this blog
*Create a new blog post that is titled Link Up Love Party with K Andrew. In your post, you must mention that the link up love party is a way to get to know each other and find new blog inspiration, mention my blog, with a link back to my blog .
*Post your favorite project that you've done in your blog post WITH ONE thing you are grateful for!
*Copy and paste the link up code into your blog post so the Inlinkz will show up on your blog
*Spread the word so everyone can join in!
*You must visit, follow, and comment on the 5 people before you AND the 5 people after you in the Inlinkz. It would be fantastic if you would visit as many as you can--maybe everyone? If you are one of the first 5 then you will need to blog the ones before you and a few more after--as long as it's a minimum of 10 near you in the link up tool/gadget)
If you do not do the above your link will be deleted, because it's just not fair to those who work so hard linking up and showing love to the ones on the list. I have two moderators who will be checking this out to keep it awesome and fun!


Here is one of my favorite cards I made within the last few month.
  I love Kristal's stamps and for this card I used Splas-tasic Summer.  I also used the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge, I love this cartridge.  I had this peace of paper that I had got in a pack that looked like the ocean so I thought it would be cool to make him look like he was just coming out of the water. I also used the PK stamps. 
 If you have not purchased any of Kristal's stamps you really need to do so, I just love them all and let me tell you that they stamp so nice.  You will not be disappointed.

Simply Sunday Challenge: Favors/Treats/Party

Simply Sunday Challenge: Favors/Treats/Party
featuring all K Andrew Stamps (variety)
Today is another fun Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky .  I thought for this challenge that I would make a favor with a back to school theme.  Every time I talk to my kids about going back to school they get this look on there faces, just like this PK face stamp.  For this card I used the Life's A Party Cricut  Cartridge for the favor box.   I also used this stamp set for the tag at the top.


 
    I love this Food for Thought stamp set of Kristal's. 
If you have not purchased any of Kristal's stamps you really need to do so, I just love them all and let me tell you that they stamp so nice.  You will not be disappointed.  Don't forget that Kristal has new stamp sets out.  Please make sure you stop and check them out.

Mom's Birthday Gift

I made this Glass Block for my mom's Birthday.  This was the first time I had ever made one of these.  I thought it turned out nice, and my mom loved it.  I made it so she could take out the flowers and put different agreements in it for the different seasons.   

Thanks for stopping by today!
