Welcome to the "Cabin Fever" 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 as well as an array of Cricut Cartridges, SVG cuts, and more 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 as well as giveaways, promotions, tips, and tutorials!!

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 in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained 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:

For my project, I'm featuring the Amazing You Stamp Set. For more details or to make this set YOURS, please click on the preview:

What I Used:
K Andrew Design Art Stamps : Amazing You
Give A Hoot Cartridge: Bees cut at 2.5"
Memento Ink: Tuxedo Black
Stickles: Crystal
Black and Yellow Paint
8 Popsicle Sticks
Hot Glue Gun

When I was trying to come up with a project to match this theme I had a hard time at first. It's kind of weird seeing how I run a home daycare and have done summer programs for kids and taught sunday school, but I drew a blank!! Finally having seen this cute bee cut I knew I wanted to do a picture frame for my daughter's Halloween picture. I thought it would be cute to use popsicle sticks and easy for the kids to paint themselves and then with an adults help hot glue them together. You can paint the sticks any colour to match the picture or the cut. I may put a magnet on the back or put some ribbon on it to hang it.
