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 special "Thank You" card to be mailed to Kristal. She has been so kind, generous and enouraging to all of us and we all wanted to show her just how much we appreciate her!! You can all join in and send a card to her as well by going back to the beginning HERE.

Ok so now on to my Very Special Card for Kristal.
I wanted to make a card for her that would be unique
but incoperate things that remind me of her.
Does that TV and owl look Familiar hehe?
Here it is open, it is a Wiper Shaker Card!
So did you figure out where you have seen this owl in the TV?
It is on Kristal's blog that links to her Ustream Channel!! I tried to get the colors as close as possible to the one on her blog! 
All the sentiments are from K Andrew's Amazing You set!

Ok, blogger gave me an error so here's to try #2. I'm a follower of both you & Kristal's blog. Have had Kristal's blinkie on my blog sidebar for some time & have added yours now. Wonderful Owl theme. My daughter likes Owls so I may be borrowing ideas from these.
