Simply Sunday Challenge - Let it Snow/U R SO SWEET Week long fun DAY 1

Hey all my bloggie friends! Today is an exciting day! Today we are starting a week long crafty adventure at Getting Cricky... The challenge (well more like the fun) is to use one set of K. Andrew Design Stamp Set on a weeks worth of projects! I LOVE THIS IDEA! Although I could come up with a lot more then a weeks worth of projects from any of the stamp sets because they are so versatile and loads of fun! But not only do we get to do this but it is also SIMPLY SUNDAY CHALLENGE FUN DAY! This weeks Simply Sunday Challenge Project is Let it Snow using embossing. Fun right? I will explain how you can participate after I show you my projects.

Well I just have to say this first I am VERY new to the whole embossing thing so please excuse the lack of ability to do this well. But here are two cards I made up for this weeks challenge...

Since the theme this week is "Let it Snow" I even went outside and took my pictures in the snow we finally got this week. And boy did we get a lot... no more long fall for us. On to the shovel and boots!

Okay anyway... This was my first card. The sentiment came from K. Andrew Design Crafty Friends Stamp Set. I will be using this stamp set all week long to show you how much CRAZY FUN you can have with it (or just plain fun if you do not like to get CRAZY like me).  The saying reads "Bloggie Friends are the Best Friends". This sentiment is so fitting!! I have been making so many new and wonderful Bloggie Friends and they truly become your family! I love my bloggie friends! :) The Snow people came from a Close to My Heart Stamp Set called Snow Friends. The embossing powder is Zing from American Crafts. The background paper is just something from my scrappy pile.

My second card I like a little more. I was getting a little better at the embossing process... not much but a little! The snowflakes in the back as well as the snowman is from the same Close to My Heart stamp as above. Again I used the AMAZINGLY fun Crafty Friends stamp set. The ribbon is from Michael's. GLITTERY FUN!  You have to love that.

This is the AWESOME K. Andrew Design stamp set I used. It is Crafty Friends. I think this set is so much fun. I love my blog... it is like my own little world and everyone knows me here :) haha. But the sayings are just to much fun. :) Especially if you are a blogger! Want to Order it? Check it out HERE

This past year was an incredible journey thru my heart and soul, and I'm celebrating the New Year with a NEW YOU attitude--life is going to have the ups and downs...but God is with us, and every experience only makes us stronger--and lifts our souls to a higher level. I started teaching 4'th grade! Met someone wonderful that I know God destined just for me...have found a charming historic 1941 home that my boys and I now both call home, divorced, moved across the country, and just fell out of crafting for a few months, and now.....I'm continuing the amazing journey thru life...just like each of you. Isn't that what our souls long to do? It's totally the Journey....not the end.

Love to you all!

Simply Sunday Challenge - It's a celebration!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had an amazing time ringing in the New Year. I spent a wonderful night playing games with my family! It is so much fun to just be home in your PJ's and not worry about going out and glamin up! :)

Well today is Sunday which means it is time for the first Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge of the year! The theme for this Sunday is It's A Celebration. This is open to your interpretation.... celebrate a new year, new job, new house... you pick!


Today I am celebrating the new year as I am looking forward to the year 2012! I think it will be a great year with beautiful blessing around every corner.

So here is my card to you! I used Kristal Andrew's Winter Wishes Stamp Set!

I used some paper I had laying around from Hobby Lobby. The snowman is a chipboard from Wallyworld. The brads are snowflakes I purchased from Hobby Lobby. And the fabulous gold glitter glue is from Wallyworld as well.

Here is the Winter Wishes Stamp Set I used.... SOOOO many ideas can come out of this! It is so easy to mix up the set and have tons of sayings!

If you would like to purchase the Winter Wishes set or any other set you see in the Simply Sunday Challenge please visit K. Andrew Design. THESE STAMPS ARE FABULOUS!!!!
