So Thank-Fall Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the "So Thank-Fall" 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 - Letillia from Diva of 5, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  Along the way, you'll see NEW ideas for creating cards and projects with Kristal's stamps sets!!

If you've hopped along from the fabulous Shawn 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:

For my projects, I'm featuring the Fall-O-Ween stamp set and the brand new Owly-Hoo!
Fall-O-Ween benefits "Adopt a Classroom
For my first project, I cut the adorable owl from Kate's ABC's at 3". I used the Cuttlebug polka dots embossing folder for the background and a white gel pen for the doodling. The twine is from The Twinery and the tag is a Spellbinders die. I used the brand new Owly Hoo stamp set to mix and match the sentiment!!
For my second project, I cut a tree from Heritage as a mask and sprayed Glimmer Mist from the Sunset kit over the paper. I distressed the edges and attached buttons. The twine is from The Twinery. Fall Blessings is from the Fall-O-Ween stamp set!

I have BLOG CANDY!  I'm giving away a set of K Andrew Designs Fall-O-Ween stamps!!

  5. Hey Lisa, guess hoo! (A lil spin on your owl card...lol). Well my dear friend, you know I'm a follower so let's check that off the list right away!

    You rocked both cards! The owl on the card is adorable and the sentiment goes perfect. Great colors too! And the tree card looks so soft and pretty. You never disappoint! Now as for my fav stamp, the one with the little mermaids are so cute but I love Kristal's sentiment stamps. I'll soon be ordering! As always Lisa, TFS your fabulous creativity!

    Oh, and I forgot to tell you yesterday, you inspired me to once again open my hubbys wallet and buy the Rock Princess cartridge! ;) Love it!
