Hop, Hop, Hoppin' to 125 Followers! (Blog Candy & a Challenge)

-
This weekend will be very busy for me. In addition to going to see my HUSBAND in concert & being a part of a panel for a conference at my undergraduate university, I will also be participating in TWO blog hops! I believe I will make it through & I know you all will be there to support me :)


The first hop is Friday, February 11th starting at 6am - my CRAFTIN' SISTAHS will be sharing the love with you all. So be sure to stop by on Friday to see what these wonderful ladies have whipped up for Valentine's Day.



The second hop is Saturday, February 12th starting at 6am - the members of the SST group over on the Cricut message board are at it again! I am sure the talented divas over there will amaze you with their red, black, & white creations... you don't want to miss it!

And what are blog hops without blog candy?!?! I am trying to reach my goal of 125 followers this weekend and I need your help. Share my challenge goal on your blog & leave a comment here letting me know you did it & you will be entered in a special random drawing for some super sweet blog candy! {You have until midnight Thursday, February 10th to post to your blog & comment here to be entered in the drawing.)

Be sure to let your readers know that if they follow my blog (helping me get to 125 followers) and leave a comment during either of the two blog hops they will have a chance to win some candy too! {They - you can enter here too - have until midnight on Sunday, February 13th to enter for this blog candy... and two hops equals two chances to win!}

Oh, I guess you want to know how sweet the candy really is, huh? Well, there's bling... embossing folders... card kits... stamps... and more!

And before I go: Jinger Adams from ProvoCraft has posted all the entries from the handmade card contest she hosted last month (see details here). Well, I mustered up the courage to enter & my entry is below.

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

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!
