Today the Getting Cricky Design Team and some special guests are coming to you for a special blog hop "thanking" Kristal for all she has done for us. We will each be featuring a special "Thank You" card to be mailed to Kristal.
Our Design Team term is coming to an end and we just want to be sure to let Kristal know how much she has meant to us over the last 3 months. Wow, how time flies when you are having fun. If you are interested in participating, you can add your card to the link at the end of the hop and mail them to the address here.
If you've hopped along from Ro 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 Brenda's blog (I wouldn't want you to miss a THING!!)...
We have some *Grand Prize* Blog Hop CANDY for one lucky WINNER!!!
(there are LOTS of stops along the way that will be offering Blog Hop Candy as well!!)
Amy Chomas has graciously donated a mini gel pen set and holder as our grand prize and some of the ladies have also added to the pot (surprise package). To be eligible for this AWESOME prize package:- Please go to each blog and leave a comment (following would be nice also)...
- Be sure to leave a comment on Brenda's blog letting her know you have visited and commented on each blog...
- Brenda will pick one lucky winner on Wednesday, July 27th (be sure to check back!!)
When I found Kristal (actually through one of my super DT sisters, Brenda), I felt like I was meeting a long-lost friend... Kristal's posts have always been inspiring and motivational and kind... Although I've never won one of her many, many giveaways on her blog, I felt like I had won the GRAND PRIZE when she invited me to be a part of her Design Team... Each member has been encouraging and helpful, and I am proud to call each of them my FRIEND. If you have not yet submitted your application for Kristal's next Design Team, you can find all of the details here on Kristal's blog: Getting Cricky Design Team Call...
Okay, I've had your attention for just about long enough, BUT before I send you off to your next stop on the hop... What's a hop without some CANDY??? I have a collection of Card-making supplies to send out to one fabulous winner!! :)

This is very pretty! I can't totally remember how I was introduced to Kristal. I am pretty sure it was through a blog hop of some sort and I liked her work and decided to become a follower. Her work is great and she is an amazing person! I like her outlook on life.

OMG! What a sweet sweet Thank you card...Kristal is just going to love it! I stumbled across Kristal blog over a year oago when I saw a link to her site for a challenge. I have been with her ever since and watch her blog grow so fast. TFS your card and for the chance at the blog candy.
Snow White is at it again, haha, jk.
This was really sweet of all you ladies to do this for Kristal. She seems to be an amazing person and it just stands to reason that her DT peeps would be too. I know at least one of them is.
Amy, what an AWESOME card! You are so creative my friend! I have never seen one like this and it is so fabulous (scraplift alert!!) The colors and design are just perfect! Kristal will love this! I'm so happy to be hopping along with you :) Oh, I almost forgot - Kristal's blog was one of the first I found when I started blogging a few months ago. I think it was a Simply Sunday challenge that lured me to her site but it was her powerful, inspiring messages and amazing generosity that hooked me and keeps me going back :)

I LOVE your thank you card! It is so cute and fun!!! I can't exactly remember how I was introduced to Kristal, more than likely through a blog hop and I've been hooked ever since! Not a day goes by that I don't stop at her site, or even simply re-visit a message that she has posted because I needed to read her inspiring and motivating words again, and again! I just love all that she does and she is truly amazing!!!

Nice accordion (wow, I first spelled it with an 'a' instead of an 'o' and I even played the instrument when younger) card. I've been a follower of yours & Kristal for some time. Was introduced to both of you when I came across your blogs looking for ideas which both of you have given me. Wonderful Owl theme. My daughter likes Owls so I may be borrowing ideas from these.

I'm a new follower!!! I found Kristal's blog looking for digi stamps, I google digi stamps and her blog came up, since then I love it!!!!
Amy you always inspire me. Every post I think OMGosh I have to make that. I found Kristal through one of her posts on a yahoo group. She was the first blog I ever started following and she was my very first follower. That was almost a year ago but I feel like I've known Kristal forever. She just has a way about her that is so very amazing.
Precious Hugs
Amy, this is simply fabulous! The colors are so rich and yummy.. and all that ribbon! I LOVE RIBBON. Seriously though, this accordion card is beautiful and Kristal will see all the love and heart you put into it. She has such a gorgeous spirit, doesn't she? :o) Thank you for sharing another lovely creation with us!
Hugs and blessings! :o)

Thanks for the blog hop... I am a follower already. I met Kristal on facebook. She is such an inspiraton to everyone. She is truly the phrase "You Are My Sunshine". I love the DT and thanks for a great job. I made my card because I was going away and thought I might now be able to do it. I mailed it Friday along with a goody box. It does not have an owl but the inside is using her stamp and especially a message for her. This is a wonderful thing to do for her.

I've been following Kristal for a long time, not sure how I was introduced to her. I think a blog hop was the first time I was introduced to her site.

Soooo love your accordion tag card!! awesome idea!!
Amy, love your blog! Thanks for doing this hop in honor of dearest Kristal. I found her while surfing scrapbook blogs! We bonded instantly. I was like in her first 50 followers or so. She is one of the most encouraging people I know. I'm a follower of your blog. http://coffee24tea.blogspot.com
Cute card Amy! Very whimsy. Love it! I Just happened to fall upon Kristal's webpage and loved it! I followed her on Facebook and just instantly fell in love with the inspiration she sends to others! She inspired me to start blogging (and even though I am not very good at it, I have loved getting to know other people through my blog! Wonderful people like you. I love the dt and their projects but love that I can continue to follow you all in the future. Thanks for sharing you amazing time and talent with all of us Amy!!!
Beautiful book, all the different embellishments and bling making each page unique. I'm a follower, email subscriber, and Facebook friend already. I met Kristal through a blog hop some time ago, sorry I don't recall which one. I really appreciate that her stamps are made in the USA and she donates to charity with every stamp set sold. That's amazingly generous of her! lflinesatcomcastdotnet
I am already a follower. And I ran into Kristal's page on another blog hop. I find all the great blogs from the awesome hops. Thanks so much ladies.
I liked your Face Book page

I found Kristal through blogs like yours and am SO glad I did. She and all her design team have been such a source of inspiration (both creatively and personally). Love your project!
I love how you hinged the tags. Great idea. I found Kristel through a blog hop or another crafty blogger. I can't remember which.
I'm already a follower of your amazing blog!!
I can't remember how I first ran into Kristal...probably a blog hop or a link from another blog. I'm glad I did though!!
