It's a Smurf Party

Today we are going to celebrate my little girls (Elana) 5th Birthday.  She was born on the 21st of December so we decided to celebrate it in January after the Holidays so everyone would be able to come.  My Aunt Jackie is making a Smurf cake for Elana.  I can't wait to see it!  Since I am a last minute person.  LOL  I thought about making favors with something smurf.  So this is what I came up with.

I searched for Smurf coloring pages, I copied them and then cropped it and printed them out on white paper.  Used my Cricut to cut out the Pink and Blue paper.  

This would be her Birthday Card!

 Thanks for stopping by.  Have a blessed day!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish all of my followers a very Happy New Year.  I sure hope all of you have a blessed year.  My goal this year is to have more post on my blog. 

Today I thought I would post some of my projects from the past year.  Enjoy!

Hugs,
Kathy

Can you tell I love PK faces.  LOL

Gifts I made for Christmas

Sorry I have been MIA for a few weeks, I promise to get back to posting after the new year.

I just wanted to post a few things that I made this week.  I made a video of all the pictures that I had taken from Dec. of last year to Nov. of this year.  I put it to Christmas Music for my Mom and Roger's Mom for Christmas.  Get this it's over 30 minutes long.  I think I might take to many pictures.  LOL

This next picture was something I made for someone on my Christmas list.   I sure hope she likes it.  I thought it would be something nice to post notes on.  The snow flakes are magnetic and so is the Snow Wishes.  I think I might even make one of these for my self.

 For both these projects I used Kristal's Stamp Set Winter Wishes.

  Winter Wishes Stamp Set.

Simply Sunday Challenge: You're Just Tea-iffic Card!

Today is another fun Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky .  I thought for this challenge that I would make a Tea-iffic card.  I used my Gypsy and Cricut to cut out the shapes for the card.  I also used my new set of  PK stamps (Snowmany Face Assortment).     For this card I used Kristal's "Coffee &  Tea For You & Me" set... 

benefits Wayside House for Women

You will find that this set is such a fun set!

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

 

Kristal's Newest Stamp Sets ---- Mermaid Card!

 For this card I used both the Pirate Tales & Fish Scales and Pirate Party sets.

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:
