Winner Time!

-
Sooooo... I didn't make it to 350 followers today {I know there is still more time, but for me to get 85 followers in less than an hour is pushing it, even for me LOL}

So, it is time to announce the winner from the 250 follower quest. Let me tell you - it was a bunch of work just to tally up the entries & make sure everyone got credit for how much they helped me (Thanks Again Everyone!)

After much cutting & pasting & visiting blogs to verify info, I came up with 266 total entries! That is so amazing! I got a chance to read & reread some of your posts & again I was floored by the support & response to help a fellow crafter out that I almost cried.

However, you all are reading this post for one reason & one reason only {smile} and that's to see if you or a friend will become the new owner of the Freshly Picked or Designer Calendar Cricut cartridge.

With 266 entries, my darling daughter got tired of waiting for me to get everything ready so she could pick the winner & she fell asleep :( So, I turned to random.org to do the job for me.


Entry #197 was this post:

Congratulations Tracy! Please email me at mycraftz at aol dot com to let me know which of the two cartridges you would like to have - if I don't hear from you in 48 hours (by 11:30pm on Tuesday, April 26), then I will choose a new winner.

Also, since I didn't get to 350 followers, I will have one cartridge left. So, for the month of May, I will host a series of challenges called "Inspired By... Fridays". Each challenge you aprticipate in will be a chance to win the cartridge - stay tuned for more details!

Thanks again to everyone who hellped me reach my goal! I have also began to follow alot of new blogs & am inspired by all of you!

    Congrats to Tracy!

    I have been trying so hard to help you get to 350! Maybe you should look for a blog hop to be a part of. I gained about 40 new followers this weekend and it was a very slow weekend for hops because of the holiday. A little blog hop with some blog candy can bring them pouring in. Good luck!

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!
