And The Award Goes To... and a Blog Hop!

-
So I was reading through my Google reader, enjoying the creativity of all of my virtual friends & I came across Amy's post from Frugal Cricut Scrapper and... She presented me with an award!

Your blog has been deemed Cricut-tastic. Wear this badge proudly on your blog and share it with friends. Share this award with 10 people that you think have Cricut-tastic blogs. You also have to tell 5 cricut related things about yourself.

FIVE CRICUT FACTS ABOUT ME:
  1. I fell in love with Cricut from an infomercial. I then found a friend who had one. And, I was determined to get one once I started researching and watching Youtube videos.
  2. I love, love, love Design Studio (the Gypsy is cool too, but I fell in love with CDS).
  3. I have 4 Cricut machines - 2 baby bugs, my Expression, & a Cake.
  4. I can't wait for the Cricut Craft Room to launch (or at least for my beta group to come up LOL) - see #2.
  5. My favorite Cricut cuts are swirls & butterflies, so most of the cartridges I have have these cuts or sentiments/titles.
I AM AWARDING THIS TO:
  1. PKay
  2. CraftyNetta
  3. Diane
  4. Cassie
  5. Tangee & Tammy
  6. Dee
  7. NubianCrafterNC
  8. TSREL
  9. Trell
  10. Christel
Oh, and before I forget! I am hosting a blog hop on May 21-22, 2011. The theme is "Something New" and it's open for interpretation. This is the season for weddings, lots of baby showers, graduates getting out into the world... you can see where I'm going with this. If you are interested in being a part of this hop (I'm thinking May 21-22), send me an email at mycraftz at aol dot com with your name, blog name & blog address. Hope you all can join me! {If you aren't interested in being a part of the hop, be sure to come by that weekend to check us out!}

    Congrats on your reward! I also have Design Studio but have no idea how to use it! It came with a package deal when I bought the Cricut. Your post has inspired me to play around with it more!

    @Susan - you will love it! I have found that with the basic cartridges, you can make just about anything (if you fiddle around with it enough).

    Thanks to you both on the congrats!

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
