Baby Name Word Book

-

A friend of mine is expecting her first child, a girl, that she is naming Aaliyah. I decided to use my Cricut & my Don Juan cartridge (so glad to have it!) and create a memory book (word book) for her. I am not a fan of pink (I actually can't stand it), but she told me the baby's room will be pink & brown and I want this book to have a home there. I see a few more of these books in the near future for my nieces & nephew!

    You did a great job with making this book. Did you use chipboard as the base for each page?

    Thanks so much! I used cardstock. I cut each page out of patterned paper & then cut it again out of a coordinating cardstock to back it. The back page is two pieces of cardstock. - didn't want to have to do too many multi-cuts with the chipboard.

It's that Time! The Pursuit for 250 Followers!

I have a plan & I need your help to make it happen. I am on a journey to reach 250 followers. I promised that when I reached 250 followers, I would give away a Cricut cartridge. Well, I am holding to that promise & I am taking it up a notch. SO FAR , I have 2 cartridges to give away - brand new, in the package, reward points in tact, never synced to a Gypsy. So, the plan is this - when I reach 250 followers , I will use a giant bowl (easiest method with all the entries I hope to get) to pick the lucky winner who will get to choose which of the 2 cartridges they would like to have. If I reach 350 followers in that same week , I will pick another winner and they will get to have the other cartridge. Sounds fair enough right? So how do you win? 1. You must be a follower of my blog - that's the whole point of all of this right? 2. Leave a comment on this post to let me know that you are supporting me in my quest to 250 followers. But, I think these things work

A little while ago I figured out a way to utilize the entire Cricut cartridge library without owning all of the cartridges. I posted a few pictures & promised to come back with the details – and here they are! … interested in hearing more? Well read on to learn how to get this wonderful Elmo image & many more! To do this wonderful trick, you start with your desired image in Design Studio. Here, I am working with an Elmo image from Sesame Street Friends. Here is the base for Elmo. I right-clicked on the mat to change the preview color to black. I added a layer (reordering it to be placed in front of the base layer by right-clicking and selecting "Page Order") using the "Body/White" function key to add Elmo's fur. I changed the preview color to red. On that same function, I pressed the shift key to add Elmo's eyes. Placing this layer in front of the others and changing the preview color to white. I added a 4 th layer (using page order to "Bring

"I was gone but now I'm back!" ( Back in My Bag , Aha Gazelle) It has been a while since I have posted & I think I am happy to be back! I am trying to commit myself to posting here went to start, so please bear with me as I get into my rhythm & flow. This first post is inspired by my recent love for podcasts & planning. I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts & was reminded that I hadn't done a vision board for this year yet. I also realized that last year, I didn't do anything at all around my vision, so I needed to remedy that. I posted on my Instagram ( @MMDeZigns ) and Facebook page about the vision board I created for my planner & I am going to share that post here as well. Do you have a vision board? If you plan, do you include it in your planner? ----- Finally got around to doing my #VisionBoard for this year. I realized that I no longer subscribe to print media (newspaper, magazines, etc.), so I needed a different way
