Getting Cricky "U R SO SWEET" Blog Hop -- Nuts about YOU!! :)

Welcome to the "U R SO SWEET" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!

We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!!  We have an EXTRA SPECIAL hop for you this month -- All week long, the Design Team has been featuring many of Kristal's stamp sets in anticipation of the hop...  If you've missed out on any of the week, be sure to check out our previous posts for MORE THAN 100 CREATIVE IDEAS and PROJECTS using Kristal's stamps as well as giveaways, promotions, tips, and tutorials!! 

If you've hopped along from Lisa 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!!)...

I'm super excited to share my project with you tonight because this is how I feel when I think about YOU!!

I'm TOTALLY nuts about you!! :) tee hee...  I mean, I really, really, really, really, really am!!  :)  Without you, I wouldn't lay awake at night thinking what I could make to share with you...  You are really fantastic, and I think you should know!! :)

I'm also nuts about this adorable little squirrel that can be found on the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge...  Who wouldn't smile upon seeing this sweet little guy???  I attached him with one of my homemade wiggle wires (YES, I had plenty of requests for a wiggle wire tutorial, so it's coming next week....) so he just bounces to and fro....  I did add the little hands so he could hold the heart in front of him...

I started with a canister of some of our favorite Emerald nuts (peanut butter chocolate)...  These things are crazy good...  Almost as good as the Emerald almonds dusted with cocoa powder...  YUM.  The-Girl-Child always loved having some of these in her lunch...  And, yes, I still make sure she has a stash of these while she's away at college. :)

I wrapped the canister with three layers of cardstock -- a 2.5" wide strip of red, a 2" wide strip of pink, and a 1/5" strip of ivory (embossed with the Sizzix hearts and vines embossing folder)...  There's a peek at my wiggle wire too -- Bet you can figure out how to make these even without my help!! :)

For some extra fun, I attached the letters with wiggle wires too...  Those wires just add a wee bit more excitement to any project!! :)

The wiggle wires also allow me to twist the letters in any direction I need to -- so I could make them look a little, um...  nutty!! :)  Unfortunately, I cannot remember which cartridge these letters came from...  If you know, leave it in the comments and I'll send you something special if you're the first (and you're right)...

And finally...  The sentiment "about you"...  Of course, this can be found on the Owly Hoo Stamp Art Sentiment Set...  This is the set I've been featuring all week long (it's awesome for your owly and not-so-owly projects!!)...  For more details or to make this set YOURS, please click on the preview below:

Didja know?

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, Adopt a Classroom, 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: K Andrew Designs:
