Getting Cricky Blog Hop Preview Day 4!

biggerbloghopbadge.gif.png

Are you ready for our UStream and blog hop?! The design team is very excited about what is in store for you!
If you plan on coming to our UStream post a comment to me today to tell me and you will get an extra chance at my FREE STAMPS this weekend!

Remember, to win the free stamps you have to post on all 5 days of my blog hop previews and on my blog hop post this weekend!

Here is today's project:




I am finding this set more and more versatile every time I pull it out!  This card is a thank you card for my daycare provider.  My kids don't go to daycare in the summer so we like to give her a small gift of appreciation at the end of the school year.

The sentiment is from K Anderew's Positive Thoughts
I used Core'Dinations cardstock and embossed it with my Big Kick.  Then I lightly sanded it down.

Don't forget, my 300 follower give away should be coming this Sunday!  Follow me today to stay posted on that!

    Love this card Rebecca! The colors are fabulous and the embossing - oh yeah! i just got a cuttlebug and I am dying to try it with my Core'dinations paper :) This stamp set is one of my favorites of Kristal's sets - this one and the Freedom isn't Free are my absolutely must haves... just as soon as my budget allows. That being said, i am grateful for any extra chances to win them :) I am already a follower of your sweet blog.
