We did it! We did it! We did it! Yay!

I reached 125 followers!

Thank you all so much for following my blog. I am so excited & inspired even more to share my work with you.

As I move into reaching my goal of 250 followers, I will be sharing more of my inspiration with you - the videos I watch, tutorials I try out, blogs I follow, etc. So definitely stay tuned to see what is to come.

As I mentioned before, on my quest to 250 followers, the winner of the Cricut cartridge will be an active follower - so make sure that you are commenting on my posts at least once a week so that you can have a chance at this sweet blog candy.

And now, for the moment you have all been waiting for... drum roll please...

The winner of the special blog candy is...



Follower #66 - who is that???

I figured out after I did the Random.org number-picking that I had no way of knowing who my 66th follower was (or, I should say that if there is a way, I don't know how to do it). After much searching, I did find that I could print a list of my followers, but that it would not be in the order in which they followed - whew!

So... I went through the list as printed & numbered starting at the beginning (the newest followers, I guess) and ended up with lucky number 66 and then I numbered from the end (the longest followers, maybe) and found follower number 66... realizing that these were two totally different people, I decided that it would only be fair to send candy to BOTH of them!

So the winners of my special celebratory blog candy are: HBrown005 & Brigitte (SE. Louisiana)

Congratulations to both of you!

Please send me an email at mycraftz (at) aol (dot) com with your name & mailing address along with your favorite color & favorite craft (scrapbooking, cardmaking, crochet, knit, quilting, etc.) by 11:59pm on Friday, March 4, 2011. If I don't hear from you, I will choose another winner.

Thanks again to all of you for your continued support!

    Thanks for your posts ladies!

    Sher - I did a screen shot once I had entered the numbers into the box & pressed generate. I pasted that into a word document & cropped it. I saved that picture (thru the clipart organizer) and uploaded it to my post... hope that makes sense!

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
