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!

Mermaid card-from the heart

Hi crafty friends! Hope you all are doing well! The weekend is drawing nearer..I can't wait! I just wanted to share a little card I made with you~

I started with some kraft cardstock, added a piece of blue from my scrap pile, then added a cute little piece of blue chevron to imitate waves. I fussy cut some clouds from some patterned paper and added them on top. I used the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge for the orange diecut. I then used misc. K.Andrew Designs stamps, colored the images in, then fussy cut most of them with my cutterbee scissors. I hand cut the little "island" and then added stickles for a little added sparkle. (The colored pencils are by EK Success.) The twine is by Doodlebug and it's called "swimming pool". This is something different for me..I don't usually color in stamped images but I had a lot of fun doing it!

Hope you like my little card today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Remember that shelf/shadow box thing I got at Goodwill for 35 cents the other day?

Kinda bland, huh?! Well, I did a little work on it and here it is now!

I think it turned out pretty cute! Here's what I used~

Pink paint

paint brush

K&Company papers

K. Andrew Design  Stamps, Fashionable Friends and Owly Hoo

3 Girl JAM  crinkle ribbon in baby girl

Cute wooden owl

rolled flower (Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge)

Here's a close up of the owl..

Look at that adorable crinkle ribbon and stamps?! The saying was "Let's paint the town red" but I only inked the first words and used my Owly hoo set to change it to owl. lol  

Here is my shelf in action~

Hello Friend/washi tape/K. Andrew Stamps Card

Hi all! Hope this post finds you well! Ryelynn took a short nap today so I ran into the craft room and made a quick card. Her naps last just a few minutes unless I hold her..then she will sleep for an hour! lol Spoiled little baby! ;) Here's my card..

For this card I used~
Core'dinations Foundations cardstock in canvas texture
K. Andrew Designs Fashionable Friends stamp
Washi tapes from Target (office supply section)
Sticker by Cosmo Cricket ( I stuck it to cardstock, fussy cut it, and pop dotted it )
inkadinkadoo ink
Viva Decor Pearl pen in Ice White
Atg
Glue Arts Dimensional sheet (u cut it)

That's it! Super quick and easy! I did use a sheet of white cardstock and put the washi tape strips on it and folded the edges over around the back then used my atg gun to tape that down to my card. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you like my card!  I really appreciate comments and will always come visit you, too!  ♥ HL

Good Morning! Hope everyone's week is going smoothly! Last night, I made a super quick and easy card to share with you. I love quick and easy projects because I don't have a lot of time on most days. Here's my card~

I can't believe Rye turns 6 months tomorrow! She loves to play with Gretchen's keyboard already! Soo cute!!

I also want to share a recipe for banana bread with you all. I have posted this before months ago but I want to share again because it is so good and so easy! I have literally made this hundreds of times!! It turns out perfect every single time!

Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup melted butter
nuts optional

In Large bowl mash bananas, add sugar and egg, mix..add rest of ingredients and mix well.
Bread takes about 1 hour but you can also make into muffins or mini muffins!

These muffins/bread are always a hit!! So easy, doesn't take too many ingredients,  and I just use one bowl ~so easy clean up, too!

I hope you all have a great day! I will be choosing a random winner for the ribbons, laces, twines, and flosses later today so if you haven't entered yet, go comment on that post!
