It Seems Like Forever...

... since I have posted. I have missed you all!

My laptop had been stalling out on me for a few weeks & it just got to be too much! I took it in to Staples for the free PC Tuneup & they found that they needed to do a little more... $40 later, my baby is al(most) better LOL!

Anywho, I won!!! Jazzy let me know that I won one of the 3-month memberships to the Cricut Circle! I am so excited & can't wait to see what my membership entails! Thanks Jazmin!

This weekend is the blog hop. Be sure to stop by to see what my crafty friends & I have in store for you!


And a hop's no hop without a sweet treat or two along the way! Be sure to check us out to see what we have in our goodie bags :)

(Oh & I got a great deal on some Cricut Lite cartridges & also picked up Picturesque... stay tuned for new projects using these carts!)

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

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!

I went to my stash and found patterned paper by Martha Stewart an
