Getting Cricky "Argh Matey" Simply Sunday Challenge

Hello my Wonderful Bloggie friends, hope you find yourself well!!  I want to welcome you all to the Getting Cricky "Argh Matey" Simply Sunday Challenge.  I think it is quite obvious what the theme is this week, anything pirate or fish related so this is what I came up with!!

I cut the Beautiful Fish from the Pagoda Cricut Cartridge @ 4".  I embossed the base using my Bubbles folder and my Cuttlebug, then I used the negative image of my cut to ink a shadow on my base which is some old Blissful Blue Stampin up paper, I then layered on my cut image.  It really looks like a shadow!!  I stamped my sentiment using my "Pirate Tales and Fish Scales" stamp set from K. Andrew Designs.

EVERY stamp you purchase benefits charity! Atleast $1 from the sale of every single stamp set goes to a well deserved charity. Please check the charity tabs to see which charity your stamp set benefits.  And are made in the U.S.A. of the highest quality Photopolymer!!

I want to thank you for stopping by today and please be sure to play along with us!!

Until next time Hug's and Happy Craftin!!

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!

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.

So for today's project I used the "Amazing You" K. Andrew Design stamp set!!  I really hope that Kristal loves it and I hope you do too!!

I used 4 toilet paper rolls, cordinating papers, K. Andrew Design stamps "Amazing You", ribbon and K & Co. glittery flowers!!  I first painted the tubes with green acrylic paint and then attached my papers, brads, sentiment and flowers.  I cut tag's to go inside the tube for photos with room on the other side for journaling!!

I have to thank my wonderful Getting Cricky sister for showing me how to make the Toilet Paper mini album, so FAITH FREEMAN, THANK YOU!! You inspire me every day, not just with your projects but with your stregnth, courage and knowledge!  You have taught me soo much!!  Luv ya mama!!

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday "Wedding Bells are Ringing" & Day 1 of Pre-Hop Week

Happy Sunday to all of my Bloggie friends!!  I hope the day finds you well!!  Once again it is Simply Sunday Challenge time over at Getting Cricky and the start of Getting Cricky's Pre-Hop week leading up to the Blog Hop on Friday!!  For this SS Challenge the group was given "Wedding Bells are Ringing" as the theme.  For the Pre-Hop week we were told to pick one Cricut Cartridge or SVG file and use it all week long to create our projects and we are to use any of  the K. Andrew Design stamps on our projects all week long to show just how versatile they really are!!  So with that being said, let me introduce you to the "Create a Critter" Cricut Cartridge!! 

I soooooo love this cartridge, there are just too many fun cuts on it!!

For the sentiment I used Amazing You, Owly Hoo and Coffee & Tea for you and me.

You can get your K. Andrew Designs Stamps HERE!!

Kisses!!

Hello Bloggie friends, hope you all find yourselves well!!  I know it's been a while since I have actually posted a project (well since the promo week/blog hop week last month) so I though I would put something up!!  I have been super busy getting ready for Getting Cricky's upcoming promo week/blog hop.  It begins on Sunday 2/12 which is also the Simply Sunday Callenge, and runs through to Friday 2/17 ending with the Getting Cricky Blog Hop, so needless to say I have been working hard!!  Please be sure to come back every day next week to see what projects I have made to share with you everyday!  We were asked to use just one Cricut Cartridge or SVG file for the whole week and then we were able to use any of Kristal's stamps, this is to show how versatile her stamps really are!!

Anyway for the quick card today.  I recently attended my local Scrapbook stores 6th Anniversary celebration.  They had great sales, munchies and make and takes!!  I soooo loved the one make and take that I figured I would incorporate it into one of my cards!! 

So here it is:

The tag was embossed using Tim Holtz's "Love" embossing folder.

The crystalized effect on the Heart was made by using Stickles "Rock Candy".

Kisses came from K. Andrew Design "Winter Wishes" stamp set.

I can't wait to show you all the fun things I made next week, so be sure to come back!

Until then Hug's and Happy Craftin!!
