Guest Designer At Getting Cricky--Positive Thoughts!

Hi everyone!  I am very excited to be the Guest Designer at Getting Cricky this week for the Simply Sunday Challenge.  The theme this week is Positive Thoughts.   The design team will be featuring Kristal's Positive Thoughts Stamp Set which she donates $1 per set sold to charities including Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter (Homeless Children Shelter), Fallen Heroes, Autism Research, and Doorways for Women & Children against Domestic Violence.  I think that Kristal is such a caring and sweet person to donate to all of these great charities.  You can see all of her wonderful stamp sets HERE.  Now onto my card... I decided to make an easel card.  I don't have the Positive Thoughts stamp set yet so I thought the sentiment "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" would fit in well with this weeks challenge.  I hope you enjoy it!  Come on over to Getting Cricky this week and enter your creation! Have a great day and thanks for looking!  :)
