Snow Day & Happy February

-
So, I am snowed in today :-D

I am so happy! I am being very productive & having a good old fashioned laid back kind of day. So far I have tackled the laundry and...

... Started my birthday month celebration! And what better way to celebrate than to start making birthday cards! For February to be the shortest month, there sure are a lot of birthdays to celebrate this month. In line with my personal cricut cartridge challenge, I whipped out my Gypsy & cut a bunch of "Happy Birthdays" from all the different cartridges I have with those sentiments on them. I will be making & posting cards throughout the month & getting them to my February birthday buddies!

And just because I always have so much free time LOL I am also in two Valentine's Day hops & an altered container/mini album swap - so stay tuned for many projects this month!

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
