Getting Cricky Blog Hop and U-stream 8/19 -


Welcome to the Getting Cricky Ustream Event and Blog Hop where we are showcasing three BRAND NEW sets of K Andrew Design's Stamp Art Sentiment Stamps!

All of the FUN will start RIGHT HERE at the Getting Cricky Ustream Channel at 9pm EST (6pm PST)...  So please click on the link and Join the Getting Cricky Crowd (if you are joining us later, we invite you to watch the recorded version of the Ustream so that you don't miss out on ANY of the EXCITEMENT!)!!
If you're joining us after the Ustream, thank you!!  Each of us on the Design Team, along with our Special Guest - Amanda from Amanda's Crafts and More, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  What an exciting night of NEW RELEASES we've had!!  So let's get HOPPING so we can each show you what we've created using one (or more) of Kristal's NEW stamp sets!!

If you've hopped along from Amanda's blog 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, 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:



Tonight on the Ustream, you saw previews for THREE brand new sets!!  
Weren't they wonderful???

For my project, I'd like to share the "Winged Things" set...
A bee-utiful Mix and Match sentiment set to accompany all of our favorite winged things creatures (butterflies, bees, dragonflies, heart wings, etc) and a beautiful FRAME that allows you to stamp the mix and match sentiments into the frame! Bonus mini bee and butterfly art stamp to use as accents!
Mix and Match set offers endless possibilities making your stamp set versatile and useful for a long time!
This is a preorder--stamps will arrive August 31'st. Quantites initally ordered are very limited--so preorder yours now!
ALSO
Kristal will be offering FREE shipping this entire weekend for our ustream/hop! Also for everyone who spends $20.00 or more they will receive a special small stamp set FREE: Merci pictured below

No Onto My Project for the hop




This card was so easy to make and I love the details of the embossed butterflies (which come with this set).  I that Kristal has started to add some images to the stamp sets.  It just gives it that little something extra.  The "main" wings were from my stash so I have no idea where they came from and the paper is all from my scrap bin.

I will be previewing a new card throughout the weekend, so please make sure you stop over tomorrow and Sunday to check them out.  
On Tuesday, I will be giving away the Fashionable Friends stamp set, so be sure to leave a comment on EVERY post this weekend starting with tonight's.  
That will give you three chances to win the stamp set.  
You MUST be a follower and of course comment on all 3 cards.  
I would really like it too if you would follow me on facebook or on twitter, but that is NOT a requirement.

Now you can hop on over to your next stop:
