Happy February: Angie's Paper Passion's 50th Birthday Blog Hop

-
This has been a craft filled month! For the third time this month, I am in a blog hop! This time to celebrate BIRTHDAYS! Since, I celebrated my own birthday last weekend, I thought this was a great hop to be a part of... and Angie, a friend from the Cricut Demo Army, is celebrating her 50th birthday, so I had to join in!



Happy Birthday Angie!

If you are here for Angie's Paper Passion's 50th Birthday Blog Hop and you have just come from visiting Janice at http://www.cricutconfessions.com/, then you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to http://angiespaperpassion.blogspot.com/ and start at the beginning.

On to my project...


For this hop, I created a card. I used my Cricut Expression & my Gypsy along with the Heritage (50th), New Arrival (card base), & Cake Basics (flowers and circle ring) cartridges. I went to my stash and found patterned paper by Martha Stewart and cardstock by Bazzill (Bling Sunset), American Crafts, and Recollections.



I hope you enjoyed my project & will become a follower of my blog.
Thanks for stopping by & don't forget to check out the rest of the stops on the hop ~

    That is absolutely a beautiful card! I didn't even think about using my Heritage cartridge for any projects for my 50th! (Kinda scary to think that the Heritage cart & I go together now!!!) Thank you, Normea, for helping me celebrate my birthday!

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
