U R SO SWEET GETTING CRICKY BLOG HOP

Welcome to the "U R SO SWEET" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!

HAPPY FRIDAY MY WONDERFUL BLOGGIE FRIENDS!!!!  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 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 using Kristal's stamps as well as giveaways, promotions, tips, and tutorials!! 

If you've hopped along from Christel 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...

Okay now to pass along my project... here is the Crafty Friends stamp set I used...

I used the word love to stamp and emboss on the back of the red paper I had from Hobby Lobby. I created half in black hearts to place around. The two pictures of my belly are from a pregnancy photo shoot my friend Julie did just one week before my son made his appearance.

I used the stamps from Crafty Friends to say

Ready...

Set...

Love...

I thought this was a fitting way to use the stamps and show you that you can use them for ANYTHING! You just have to think outside the box and stamp a little differently. When you do you have hours upon hours of fun!!!

This just gives you a close up of the embossing and little black hearts

I hope you have enjoyed my layout as much as I enjoyed making it! Now on to the BLOG CANDY! Cause lets face it, we all love some blog candy! Okay so as I said before this Hop concludes a week long adventure in using K. Andrew Stamp Sets. Please be sure to check out my other projects from this week. For each comment you leave during the week you will earn extra entries into the Blog Candy Giveaway! There are a couple questions you have to answer with in the post this week too. If you get them answered that also gets you an extra entry! I will pick two blog hop winners next Friday (January 27). One will get a K. Andrew Stamp Set (if you have not ventured over there PLEASE DO SO! Don't forget if you want to order this weekend use the code heatherfreeship and you will get free shipping!) and the other will get a retractable key chain with a couple interchangeable magnets to go with from my good friend Julie at Say Cheese Designs. (Be sure to check her out!
