Hey my wonderful bloggie friends! I have missed you over the Holidays. I was going to try and post while I was away but honestly found myself enjoying my family time and could not pull away to post!

Getting Cricky SNOW MUCH FUN Blog Hop -

Welcome to the "Snow Much Fun" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!

Scrappy Holidays my bloggie friends!  We're so excited 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 the rest of the 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 - Patty from "Creative Diva", 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 the scraptabulous Laura at Lady B Crafts 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!!)...

You all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE my K. Andrew Design Stamp Sets!!! They are amazing quality, they have the best sayings, they are extremely versatile and are so darn adorable! But did you know each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity? It is true! 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! See not only are the stamps amazing but the maker of the stamps has the biggest heart! All the more reason to scoot over to K. Andrew Design and buy yourself or someone on your Holiday shopping list some amazing stamps!


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 fabulous Winter Wishes Stamp set! I bought this set last month and have tons of fun creating with it! LOVE IT :) I had been eyeing it up since it came out and finally bought it! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Did I mention that I love it!?!? ;)  Here is what it looks like...





Winter Wishes






Soooo many options right? I have had lots of fun just playing around and making cards!

I used this stamp set to make my Christmas card which is my first ever shaker card! WHAT WAS I THINKING? You know I have over 60 people on my Christmas card list? Nuts and then I decide to try something new! I am a weee bit crazy. I have to admit I had a ton of fun making it though! Only problem... who would have thought by December 16 in Wisconsin we would not have any snow!!! I wanted a picture of my kids playing in the snow for this but NO LUCK!!! But here is how my card turned out...

For this card I of course used my Winter Wishes stamp set which is where the words Winter Wonderland and the snowflakes came from. I used an embossing glitter to give it a little bit of dimension (I have not done embossing in FOREVER so I am pretty happy with the way it turned out). I used my Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge to make the snow globe at 3 1/2 inches. Inside is a picture of my fabulous little monkeys and some glitter so when you shake it up you get this...

 It is like actually having a snow globe right? Although it was loads of fun I think I shall pick an easier project for next years cards ;)

On the inside I simply stamped Merry Christmas (again using the Winter Wishes stamp set) and will sign the card love my family:) 

Okay so that was my main project but I had to share this card with you again.. I shared it on an earlier post but thought I would pass it along again because it turned out pretty darn cute...

I love the little elf and Snow much Fun is the reason for the Blog Hop right? So I had to pass it along! If you have a chance after you are done hopping you can stop back and visit my earlier post with this Elf and other fun ways to use Winter Wishes. (The elf was from Close to My Heart Happy Pursuits)

SO WHO WANTS CANDY?!?!? I will be offering blog candy but I have to be honest with you and tell you it will not ship until the last week of December or the first week in January! My friend Julie owns this amazing company called Say Cheese Design. She makes the most adorable buttons, wine stops, magnets, post cards... I could go on but please visit her site! I am going to give the Blog Hop Winner a retractable key ring and a couple of her adorable magnets to go with it. The reason I am not sending right away is Julie had a little fire in her shop and is not sending out at this moment... The good news I will be going to see her the end of December and can pick some up directly from her.  So I will send them to you as soon as I can. You have until December 24 to enter. How do you enter? Just leave me some bloggie love and of course I would love if you would follow my blog but it is not required. On the 25 I will pick a winner using random.org.

This is what your prize package will look like but because I am shipping after the Holidays I will get you some everyday scrappy magnets!
Well I hope you enjoyed my cards! Now it is time for you to head off to the next amazing Design Team member!

Your next stop is my scraptastic friend Faith at Faithfule Creations

SCRAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL!!!

Fun Thursday Post

Well hello my bloggie friends! Hope you are doing well today! I have been playing with my K. Andrew Design Winter Wishes stamp set and wanted to show you all some of the fun cards I have come up with (well at least I think they are fun).

(This is my favorite)

(This is my husband's favorite)

My kiddos like this one because they are dying to make a snowman!

Fun right? The sentiments came from K. Andrew Designs Winter Wishes Stamp set (LOVE IT!). And the elves are from Close to My Heart Happy Pursuits. They are funny little elves! The Snowflakes are also off the Winter Wishes stamp set.

I am so excited to start my Christmas cards... I just need some snow so I can take my kids picture outside in the snow! I have this whole layout in my head and I can not wait to see how it turns out I just need the snow so it turns out the way I am hoping it will. But with no snow in the forecast for us in the near future I may have to rethink my picture! You would think by December 8th in Wisconsin we would have some snow right? Well I guess I will have to move North! ;)

Thanks for stopping over friends! Hope you have a truly delightful day filled with many blessings!
All my bloggie love,

Heather

Link Up the Love Party - Getting Cricky

Hello Friends! Tomorrow is Wednesday which means we are half way through the week. I don't know about you but these days are just flying by! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it!

Okay now on with today's info! :) Getting Cricky has another event that started today and will go until next Tuesday (11/22). It is called Link Up Love Party! It is a great way to meet others in the bloggie world, and find great new project ideas! For this you get to create a project that has to do with Thanks/Blessing. It is a great time to give Thanks! I wanted to share with you my project and then I will give you a little more information about the PARTY :)

I thought I would make a Thank You for my in-laws for having us over for Turkey day. They have us every year and my mother-in-law makes a big feast! I thought this would be a great way to thank her. I used the Turkey from the Little Critters Cartridge and the Thanks for a great day is actually from two of Kristal's Stamp Sets. I used the words Thanks for from the fashionable friends set. The actual words were Thanks for your support. I just covered up the words your support. The second part is from Food for Thought. The original saying was It's a great day! I just put a little tape over it's and made this little creation!
I have so many things to be thankful for this year and I can't wait to count my blessings with my family!

Okay so here is what you need to do to LINK UP THE LOVE :)
Link Up Love Party: How it Works

*Link Up Party runs from Tuesday 11/15 to Tuesday 11/22. Winners announced 12/20 at next Link Up Love party.
*Grab Kristal's blinkie and post on your blog's sidebar
*Be a follower of Kristal's blog
*Create a new blog post that is titled Link Up Love Party with K Andrew. In your post, you must mention that the link up love party is a way to get to know each other and find new blog inspiration, mention my blog, with a link back to Kristal's blog .
*Post your favorite project that you've done in your blog post THAT HAS TO DO WITH THANKS/BLESSINGS!! That could be a card, layout, treat holder or decoration.
*Copy and paste the link up code into your blog post so the Inlinkz will show up on your blog
*Spread the word so everyone can join in!
*You must visit, follow, and comment on the 5 people before you AND the 5 people after you in the Inlinkz. It would be fantastic if you would visit as many as you can--maybe everyone? If you are one of the first 5 then you will need to blog the ones before you and a few more after--as long as it's a minimum of 10 near you in the link up tool/gadget)
If you do not do the above your link will be deleted, because it's just not fair to those who work so hard linking up and showing love to the ones on the list. I have two moderators who will be checking this out to keep it awesome and fun!

Decorate to Celebrate Month Long Birthday Party - Guest Designer

Hello and welcome to this fabulous Wednesday! I am doing a guest designer spot for the Decorate to Celebrate Month Long Birthday Party for Rhonda and Amy!
In case you missed it...  This month Rhonda and Amy are CELEBRATING their birthday's ALL MONTH LONG (so you'll have ALL month to enter your projects at Decorate to Celebrate!!)...  Also for THIS month (and this month ONLY), they are opening up the challenge to ANY project (yes, this means you can enter a card or a layout too!!)...  Because of this, they have limited the number of entries to a MAXIMUM of THREE -- you can enter up to THREE projects this month for your chance at the Birthday Presents!!  A little birdie told me that there would be one of Rhonda's minis, one of Amy's explosion boxes, and several other FUN prizes thrown into the mix!!  I am sure you have seen Amy's explosion boxes and Rhonda's minis! They are simply fabulous and you would be SOOOO lucky to have one! So get working on those projects for YOUR chance to WIN!!

Okay so I am going to show off a little work I did for my son's 5th birthday! We decided to do a Batman theme. I purchased the Batman Brave and the Bold Cricut Cartridge and had fun creating... I am a little bummed because I was so busy occupying 20 kids that I did not get more pictures so I will show you what I have! :)

These were the birthday invitations. Not sure if you can read it well or not but it says

The Riddler is tricky don't make a mistake.

He has stolen the candles off

Noah's birthday cake.

But you can help Batman recover

the candles by answering

this riddle I know you can handle;

How old will Noah be when his birthday arrives?

Just think of a number that rhymes with "dive"

The answer is ______

Help Batman and Noah find his birthday candles

and then lists all the birthday information.

The backdrop behind the vellum is a city outline with a bat signal... pictured here :)

I made this back drop of what was suppose to be Gotham City... I tried hard but it did not come out the way I wanted and I used a lot of spray paint... I did not think it would take that much but wow I used about 9 cans on this small little section!

Okay so this is a little hard to see but this was a game called stomp out the villains... If you look close you can see the little one on the right side of this picture stomping a silver balloon. I took balloons and filled some with candy and I left some empty. When we brought out the balloons we explained to the kids they were to stomp out the villains and they would get a prize! I had taped some pictures of Batman and Robin on some of the balloons and villains such as the Joker, Riddler, Mr Freeze and The Penguin on others. The kids had so much fun stomping the villains!

For a little down time we played a game of Bat, Bat, Joker (much like a game of duck, duck, goose!)

We even had a surprise visit from BATMAN himself! My sons face was just priceless when he showed up.

No because the information said that the Riddler had taken the candles off my son's birthday cake Batman was there to help. I had placed green cards with question marks on various places outside (like the pool, trash cans, the jungle gym) and gave them riddles as to where they could find the birthday candles! They had so much fun hunting for the candles!

Here are some of the kiddos from the party with Batman... some were to hungry to take a picture with Batman and they just ran off to eat!

Oh this is another picture from the villain stop. We also played a game of Mr. Freeze Dance where we would play music and when the music stopped they had to freeze!

Here is Noah's birthday cake. I wish I had gotten more pictures of the food. I had themes for most of it. I had Cat Claws (buggles), Posion Ivy punch (green punch) Penguins Chips and Dip (Served these is a top hat upside down), Bat Pops (cake pops) Alfred's Gourmet hamburgers... oh there was more. I had also purchased yellow plastic ware and wrapped it in a black napkin and made my own napkin rings with a yellow piece of paper and a bat on them... OH HOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE HIRED A PHOTOGRAPHER ;)

Ha! Well I hope you enjoyed the Batman Birthday! Be sure to hop over to Decorate to Celebrate and check out their month long celebrations if you have not done so already! Enjoy your day everyone!

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge - Tea Time

HELLO! Okay so my New Years Resolution is to get better about posting and I have just the reason to do it now! I have made the Getting Cricky Junior Design Team! I am sooooo excited and greatful to Kristal Andrew for this opportunity. As you know I LOVE her stamps and love to use them on any and every project I can. They are amazing stamps made right here in the US! Fabulous right? It gets better. For all of the different stamp sets she has, Kristal has picked a charity (that she has researched) to give money to. So for each set she sells she gives $1 to the charity! She truly is an amazing, talented and given person. I am blessed to call her my friend! So be sure to check out her stamp sets!!!

So I created a new little card using her Fashionable Friends stamp set. Here is the set!



Lots of fun to be had with this set! And her sets are all so versitle and easy to use with any project!  With the sales of this set $1 per set goes to Cancer Angels to help Stage 4 level Cancer patients. Cancer Angels gives atleast 95% of all monies raised to the people in need. AMAZING :)

Okay so for my project!

I used just a plain Jane piece of blue paper for the backround. The snowmen came from the Christmas Cheer cartridge as did the coffee mugs. I added a little glitter glue to style up the snowmen and to add snowflakes to the back drops. The stamp saying is "Old friends never go out of style!" The ribbon is from a dollar bin at Target from over the summer.

This card goes along with the theme for this weeks Getting Cricky Challenge. The theme is Tea Time!
Challenge Requirements:

1. Post any Tea Time project of your choice & link up by 11/19/2011
