Simply Sunday Challenge: Fall Treats

  Simply Sunday Challenge:  Fall Treats
 
 Today is another fun Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky and for this challenge I wanted to make these cute little treat boxes.  I thought it would look cute if you filled them with candy corn.  For the box I used my big shot.   The Happy Harvest is from Kristal's new stamp set below.   I also used my new PK Scarecrow accessories that I won on the PK blog.  Enjoy!

Welcome to the Getting Cricky Blog Hop - Halloween Candy Favor

Welcome to the Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!
We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!!  Each of us, along with our Special Guest - Heather from Heather's Crafty Blog Space, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  Along the way, you'll see NEW ideas for creating Fall & Halloween cards and MORE with Kristal's stamps sets!! 

If you've hopped along from Heather 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!!)

It's your lucky because during the hop Kristal is having a 20% off sale but you have to enter the code 20kathy during the checkout process.  If you have not tried these stamps yet you really need to.  I love them!

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:

Simply Sunday Challenge: Halloween and Remembering 911

Halloween Paper Bag Album
 Today is another fun Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky and for this challenge I wanted to make a paper bag album.  I have made so many of these, I just love them all.  One year I made 5 of them for Christmas gifts and they turned out so nice.




For this book I used Kristal's new Stamp Set  Fall-O-Halloween
If you click on the link you will be able to order them.  I love these stamps!
Products that I used:
Kristal's New Fall-O-Halloween
2 lunch paper pages
Hole punch
Distress Ink - Peeled paint, spiced marmalade, and Dusty concord.
PK face stamps
I used my Cricut and Gypsy - I used several cartridges.
Lots of fun ribbon!
I sure hope you like it, if you have any questions please let me know.  If you have not made one of these, you really need to try it out.  They are so much fun.  My Emily has already taken it for her Halloween pictures. 
Have a blessed week everyone!

Remembering 911
Flight 93 crashed only 15 minutes from my house.  It could have been in my back yard, I will never forget that day.  So sad!  I found this poem on the internet.  May we never forget 911.   
This was a scrapbook page that I made when I took the kids up to visit the  site back in 1993. 

 
Poems about the Event or Feelings
September 11, 2001: The Day Our World Changed

Planes crashing into buildings
in pictures from a disaster film
before our actual eyes
On the small screen filling our homes
with scenes of terror so horrifying
they must be simulated
Unable to comprehend
how anyone willingly could commit
these brutal acts of terror
Yet these images of harsh reality
become etched into our memory
As we watch the destruction
of a way of life
The laughter of my young daughter
pulls me from the barrage of images
and back into the reality of our day
Too young to know what has happened
yet sensing the anxiety in the air
Focusing on the exploration of her world
with a simple request of "Out"
Her small hand placed trustingly in mine
to guide her on way
A little voice of hope for the future

A nation, a world in tears
united in grief and loss
A tragedy so large
the loss so pervasive
the depth of emotions so great
no words can truly convey the mood

The sacrifice of so many lives
from so many countries
As we struggle to make some sense of the senseless
and look to answer the question
"Why?"
Yet many others saved
by acts of kindness from strangers
and in the mission thwarted
by last heroic acts of sacrifice and bravery

The eagle like the mighty phoenix
emerges from the ashes
bruised, but not beaten
stronger than ever
Out of the rubble of destruction
Seeds of hope
Stories of courage
Heroes emerge
Our country unites

To learn and to change
so that it never happens again
To keep the memories of the events and the people alive
but to also keep living
If not for ourselves
for our way of life
for our freedom
for our children

Wedding Card

Wedding Card
I made this card for a girl at work she's in a Wedding this week and ask if I would make a card for her.  
 
Please check back later this week, I have two things made, I'm just waiting for my stamps to come in the mail. 
 
Sorry I have not posted anything this week, it's been a crazy week.   I sent my little girl off to Pre-School yesterday  day so it was a hard week for me.
