We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!! Each of us, along with our Special Guest - Heather from Heather's Crafty Blog Space, are so pleased to have you here with us!! Along the way, you'll see NEW ideas for creating Fall & Halloween cards and MORE with Kristal's stamps sets!!

If you've hopped along from LISA's Blog 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!!)...

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:

My card is a regular A2 size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") using purple Recollections card stock as the card base. The orange diamond paper and the purple stripes are from Echo Park! I love Echo Park paper!! The adorable image is from Bugaboo Stamps! I used Adobe PhotoShop to digitally color this adorable digi image. It's my first try at coloing digis on the computer, and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. Don't get me wrong, I have tons to learn. I still need to figure out how to shade and highlight, but hey, one step at a time, right?

I love that Kristal makes these MIX 'N' MATCH stamp sets! My sentiment for this card is actually 3 different stamps from the Fall-O-Ween set that I lined up together on my block before stamping. Cool, huh? Here's a close-up of the sentiment stamp using StazOn Jet Black ink.

Who wants some BLOG CANDY?! For my Blog Candy, you can win this pre-made card PLUS a CARD KIT to make another one like it! (The buttons may be a little different in the kit.) Yeah! I love CARD KITS! All you have to do to be eligible to win is....
