Getting Cricky "Holiday Wishes" Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the "Holiday Wishes" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!

We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!!  In addition to Kristal and the Senior Design Team, we look forward to introducing you to TEN member of our NEW Junior Design Team (be sure to visit Kristal's Blog to see ALL of our "new additions"!!)...  Each of us, along with our Special Guest - Ellen from "a little bit of this...", are so pleased to have you here with us!!  Throughout the hop, you'll see NEW ideas for creating cards and projects with Kristal's stamps sets!!

If you've hopped along from FAITH 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:








Kristal's stamp sets are perfect for cards, layouts, and so much more...

For my project, I'm featuring the "WINTER WISHES".  For more details or to make this set YOURS, please click on the preview:

My first card: Horizontal background



My second card: Vertical background


Both cards were made using backround paper from My Minds Eye-Wonderful Winter Pad, the base cards are just Craft cardstock that I purchaced at A.C. Moore and Simply Sage from Stampin Up.  The ornaments and Santa are dimmentional stickers from a Christmas sticker sampler by Studio 112.  I inked the edges and stamped the sentiments using StazOn Jet Black.  I wanted to show how you can use the same backround paper and make it look different!

Wow Ildi! I love these cards! That paper from MME is so gorgeous and I love the way you have popped up the ornaments and Santa! Very cute! My holiday wish is that things would slow down - very wishful thinking there I know - it seems like I am always rushing and never taking time to enjoy the holidays.

Forgot to leave my holiday wish. I wish that all our loved ones at war can finally all come home.

Beautiful card! I love the sentiment. Already a happy follower. My Christmas Wish would be for God to give my aunt and Uncle strength this Christmas Season as it will be their first Christmas without their daughter who is no longer here with us. She passed away last April and I know with the Holidays coming, it might be a hard time for them. I just wish for them to have a great Christmas. Sorry this was so long.


Hugs,

Beautiful cards!!!

My holiday wish would be to get to spend Christmas with my family. They live 12 hours away and we never get to spend Christmas with them b/c hubby's job will not let him take anytime off b/t Thanksgiving and new years unless it's an emergency (which I wouldn't want to happen, we've had that in the past) I just would love for a HAPPY reason to get to spend Christmas with my family as it's been years!

TFS!!!

Beautiful Ildi! I've never really cared for vintage ornaments... UNTIL seeing your card. They are so pretty. My Christmas Wish is that more people that I know and love will come to know Jesus personally.
