Welcome to the "Cabin Fever" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!
We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!! We have an EXTRA SPECIAL hop for you this month -- All week long, the Design Team has been featuring many of Kristal's stamp sets as well as an array of Cricut Cartridges, SVG cuts, and more in anticipation of the hop... If you've missed out on any of the week, be sure to check out our previous posts for MORE THAN 100 CREATIVE IDEAS and PROJECTS as well as giveaways, promotions, tips, and tutorials!!
If you've hopped along from my amazing sister Linda, 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 Pirate Tales and Fish Scales and Pirate and Mermaid Party Stamp Sets. For more details or to make this set YOURS, please click on the preview:
My Four Year Old Grandest Daughter, Lexi and I created a TIC TAC TOE game using Nates ABC Cricut Cartridge. We cut our our card bases at 3" and then again in contrasting paper at 2 1/2". We used Lexi's favorite stamp set to stamp pirates and mermaids. Then we created the playing board with scraps and stamped it too. Here's how it looks in pieces:
We played a few times and it really works well and is a lot of fun. Next time she comes to visit we are going to color our stamped images and add embellisments. When we are done we plan on laminating the game.
Make sure you stop by K. Andrew Designs and take a look at her awesome stamps - When you buy $25, you get the Mini Heart Bonus Set for FREE!!
I will be drawing one winner this month, from all the comments I have on my posts - The winner will receive a free Digital Scrapbooking package from My Memories Digital Scrapbooking. All you need to do is be a follower of mine and to leave me a comment.
Thanks so much for stopping by - your next stop will be Amanda.
