Getting Cricky Favorite Things blog hop!!

Hello! Welcome to the Getting Cricky  "Favorite Things" Blog Hop! We are so glad you could join us! Kristal is looking to retiring some of her older stamp sets to make room for new. So tonight, we are showing off our favorite K. Andrew stamp sets!

I am so excited and honored to be asked to be a guest designer for this hop! Thanks so much for having me, Getting Cricky team! You all know I am a big fan of Kristal's stamps and I love all of you ladies on the design team!

If you have come from  Jennie's Blog blog you are on the right track. If you stopped by from your dashboard, please start at the beginning HERE at Lisa's fun blog!

Just in case you didn't already know all of Kristal's stamps benefit charity! At least $1 per stamp set goes to help people! How awesome is that?!

If you would like to purchase some K. Andrew Design stamps please visit her online store HERE! Kristal's stamps are perfect for cards, layouts, and so much more!

For my project I am featuring my two favorite stamp sets  "Hooty Owl" and "Owly Hoo Sentiments".

Here is what I made to share~

I used the K.Andrew stamps, as mentioned above. I used my CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge to make the little purse and I cut it out at 4 1/2 inches.  The patterned papers are from the DCWV Celebrations stack. I used green glitter paper and a piece of white cardstock from my scrap pile for the die cuts and the little banners. I inked all of the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I tied on some peapod twine from The Twinery and added some glitter glue. (The die cuts were cut at 2 3/4 and 3 inches from the same cartridge.) Hope you like my project tonight!

I have some blog candy to give away to one follower that hops tonight! I have a fun little twine sampler goodie bag to give away. I will choose a winner on Monday using Random.org.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! Next you will go to Debbie's Blog  to continue the hopping fun!

Please be sure to come by tomorrow for my "Have an Owlsome Fall Y'all Blog Hop"! There will be fantastic inspiration and great prizes, too!

Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge

Happy Thursday, friends! The weekend is getting closer! What do you all have planned for the weekend? We are going to an apple orchard to the Johnny Appleseed Festival. We go every year and I can not wait to get an apple fritter! lol They have the best ones at Mapleside Farms. Yummmy!

So, today I made a little project for the Facebook challenge over at Fresh Brewed Designs.  They have a blog hop coming up this weekend! You won't want to miss it! The link to the Facebook event is HERE!

The challenge I am entering requires you to do something "EXTRA". If you make a card, it has to have an extra fold, or you have to decorate the inside, or something extra. I decided to make a little 3D purse/treat holder/gift bag. I'm going to put a couple of small fall stamp sets inside and give it to a friend. Here it is..

 I used the CTMH Artise Cricut cartridge and cut the little bag out at 3 1/4 inches. I used DCWV glitter cardstock for the purse and background orange paper. I colored the cute FBD digi image with EK Success colored pencils. Then I used stardust Stickles over the top for some added sparkle and fun! I only glued the image on the top part of the flap so the whole cute pumpkin house lifts up so you can put goodies inside. That's it!

The other day I received some goodies from Yolanda that I had won from the last Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop. Included in the goodies were some really fun muslin bags. Yolie had stamped on one and colored it in for that hop so I borrowed her idea. I used the Fresh Brewed Designs "Crafty Girl" stamp. I love her..she is so cute! I already posted this on Facebook but wanted to share here for all of my bloggie friends that I do not have on Facebook. Here it is~

I added a strip of fabric and twine and a homemade fabric flower  to the bottom with a glue gun. I added a few star buttons and some glitter and it's done! Hope you like it!!


I hope you like my projects I have to share today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
