Ok now this set is awesome!!  Hmm?? haven’t I said that with all of them?? well they are all awesome!  This set will go with a lot of carts and greeting farm stamps!    Click on the picture to head on over to Kristal online store to purchase.  Remember $1 from ever sale of each stamp set goes to charity. Also, don’t forget to go to Kristal’s blog, Getting Cricky to be inspired both artistically and spiritually. So for this card I had this Greeting Farm stamp girl laying around.  I was trying coloring using prisma coloring pencils, when I didn’t have copics.  I think it my coloring turned out great, if I say so myself.  So I colored her but didn’t put her on any card.  So when I got the Fashionable Friends set, I pulled her out and here ya have it!!  LOVE IT!!! I just layered some pink and red glitter paper then embossed the pink top layer and scalloped the bottom of each layer.  The Simply fabulous! sentiment went perfect with it!! Hope you like! 

Oh my GOSH!  I received this stamp set along with a few others and I was like, “OMGOSH! I LOVE THEM!” Seriously they are way too cool!  Click on photo to head on over to Kristal’s online store to purchase! I had a few hours to myself to day and started to make a couple of cards for this stamp set.  Today is your day! card:  I wanted something simple to show off this sentiment. I love it!  I used some Sassafras flowers on an embossed SU soft suede cardstock and added a knot to the corner , sprinkled some tiny pearls and there ya have it!  LOVE IT!! Life is grand card:  I used some Kaisercraft 6x6 up up and away cardstock and rub-on’s but a knot ribbon and finished it off with Life is grand sentiment and LOVE IT!! I’m just loving how versatile this stamp set is!  Remember to head on over to Kristal’s online store to purchase this and her other stamp sets!  Just a reminder a portion of her sale from each stamp set sold goes to charity!  Guilt free shopping is the best!   Al

Ok, I so late in getting this video edited.  I was having issues with my Editing software. It just didn’t want me to make this video!  I was determined to get it to work, but in the end I didn’t.  I ended up having to use my Video Camera’s software which does not let me add stuff to it.  SO here is my video!

Howdy!!   I finally created 2 cards using Splashtastic Summer stamp set by K. Andrew Design from Getting Cricky . OMGosh.. do I love them!! they are soo cute!!  ADORE! The 1st card I created, I used some SU A2 baby blue card stock that came in my “grab bag” I got a few months ago, I am trying to use up all that stuff I got to make it worth it. The stripe layer, is from an old DCWV Glitter Mat Stack I’ve had in my paper hoarding stash.  The background I created using some flip flop stamps of a small stamp set from MFT Hit the beach stamp set that I forgot I had.  I used several Tim Holtz distressing inks to create my own background and then colored in a beach ball with SU markers.  I also finally used my Irock.  I really like the way it turned out.   Then for the sentiment I used,  Splahstastic Summer stamp sentiment “ DON’T FLIP OUT”  LOL  I love it.  Fernando & I been kind of grumpy at each other. Two teacher on vacation is kind of getting to us. UGH. I love him but goodness h

Their challenge was to create a project for father’s day.   Well I created this t-shirt for my brother in law.    I used my Yudu for the 1st time.. Well, let me correct myself, I used Fernando’s Yudu for the 1st time.  Guess what?? I did a better job then he did when he tried to screen a shirt! HAHAHA!  Why do you say my came out better?? Because I actually listened to the directions on the Youtube videos!  HA  typical man, who never listens to directions!  Well, enough of me bragging!  Here is my Father’s Day project.  Sorry the picture is kind of  fuzzy, took the photo with my back up 90’s cell phone! heeh not really it’s the early 2000’s.  LOL ..

I can’t wait till my set comes in!!   Isn’t it awesome???  OMGOSH I love it!!  Love that DOG TAG!  Here is a bit of what Kristal has to say about this stamp set and the charity it will benefit… (excerpt from her blog) Freedom Isn't Free to benefit Intrepid Fallen Heroes $14.99 “Intrepid Fallen Heroes is a non-profit organization that provides rehabilitative services to US military members who are severely disfigured from combat. (Imagine half a face blown off, or the loss of both legs). This charity is VERY dear to my heart, because there is nothing like being 20 years old, engaged, and coming home so disfigured you can't serve in the military anymore, and you don't even look like the person you were when you left. This is the price many of our service members make to keep us f

This is Day 2 of Kristal’s Stamp release.  Today we are showing off Positive Thoughts!! This stamp will benefite Storefront Children’s Shelter..  Excerpt from Kristal’s BLOG: “Storefront Shelter is my signature charity in which homeless children are found, rescued, and reunited with their parents if possible. If not, they are found new homes and are given intervention so they do not return to the streets. There are youth and children living on the streets; it's been reported that parents will drop their child off downtown, to abandon them. The children have no idea where they are, and no idea how to return home. Children also flee from abusive environments, and live in the streets. Just thinking about if something happened to me, and my children were placed in an abusive children's home, and my children ran away..if they were living on the streets. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a young child on the streets, but I can imagine a way to help them, and thi
