WE DID IT! 250 FOLLOWERS!

-
What a wonderful surprise that I came home to today... WE DID IT!

Thank you all so much!

With all your help, I have reached my 250 follower goal!

All of the posts leading up to this point are closed for comments (entries for the first Cricut cartridge drawing). I will be preparing my big bowl and adding all those who have earned entries to the pot. My daughter is on Spring Break this week & she will enjoy the opportunity to pick the winner.

I am still holding out for 350 followers & I believe you all can help me do it! If I reach 350 followers by 11:59pm on Sunday, April 24, a second winner will be announced who will receive the other Cricut cartridge - remember the winner from the quest to 250 gets first choice!


  

All the ways to enter still apply & are posted below. If you have a post on your blog about the candy, please be sure to update the link to this post (no new comments are being accepted on any posts since the quest was first announced).

I am off of work this week & I will try to post something everyday until 4/24 - giving you at least 7 chances for entry into the second drawing!

Thanks again to all of my new followers and for those who shared about my quest with a friend! Good luck to you all in the drawing(s)!




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 new quest to 350 followers.

But, I think these things work best when there are more ways to win:

a. You'll receive 1 additional entry for every post you comment this week leading up to my reaching 350 followers.
b. You will receive 5 additional entries if you create a post on your blog (or a new post with the 350 info)about my giveaway. Once you create the post, be sure to come back here and leave a comment letting me know you did it & your blog address.
c. You will receive 1 additional entry for every new follower who leaves a comment letting me know you sent them. (Be sure that they include your name and/or blog name in their comment.)
d. You will receive 1 additional entry if you "Like" me on Facebook - M.M. DeZigns Fan Page. Be sure to come back here & leave a comment letting me know you did it (include your real name so I can verify it).
e. You will receive 1 additional entry if you add my Facebook page as a "Like"d page on your own fan page. Leave a comment on this post to let me know you did.
f. You will receive 3 additional entries if you follow me on Twitter @MMDeZigns and tweet about this giveaway. Comment under this post that you are a Twitter follower (include your Twitter account name so I can verify it).

Winner(s) will be chosen by random draw. There is no limit to the number of entries one person can receive. All entry options will be verified before entry. Winner(s) will have 48 hours to respond once announced; should the winner not respond in the specified time, another winner will be drawn. Should the goal of 350 followers be reached in the specified time, the first winner will not be allowed to win twice. Shipping is limited to the contiguous United States :(

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! 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!
