Craftin' Sistahs Blog Hop

-
  
Welcome to the Craftin' Sistahs first ever blog hop! We are a group of Facebook friends who share the same passion for papercraftin'. The hop starts with the Mix On The Memories blog and ends with A Scrap Above. Along the way you'll stop by 7 other great blogs for a total of 9! You will find creations of all kinds along the hop. Be sure to start at the first blog and follow your way all the way through...several of the divas are offering blog candy! You never know where you might find some so be careful not to miss any of the blogs. While you're there, leave some blog love! Creative people love feedback on their work! We hope you enjoy this first Craftin' Sistahs blog hop!

Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I created this card. The front says "if I put a cherry on top..." and the inside reads "will u be my valentine". I used my Cricut Expression to cut the wording & die cuts - using Printing Press, Gypsy Wanderings, & Calligraphy Collection. The patterned paper is from DCWV & the red cardstock is from the DCWV Shimmer stack. All other cardstock & vellum is from The Paper Company. The finished card measures 6.5" by 5".

I am trying to reach my goal of 125 followers & have blog candy if you help me out! Simply become a follower AND leave a comment on this post (and come back tomorrow for another chance to win!). You will be entered for a chance to win a prize pack that includes acrylic stamps, card kits, embossing folders, bling, and more!

Want more chances to win? Send a friend to follow my blog & have them leave your name in the comments and you're entered in the drawing again!

The winner will be chosen on Sunday using random.org!

Now back to the hopping... Be sure to hop to every site!

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

Using all the Cricut Cartridge Images - even the catridges you don't have!

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
