A New Favorite???

-
So I found a new product at Michaels' earlier this week & since I had a coupon on me, I decided to pick it up. Well, let me first say, that I will be going back to get more & that I think it is my new favorite thing (can't really call it a tool, because it's a consumable).

What is it, you wonder? Beads in a Bottle... Am I late, have you heard of this? If you have, why didn't you tell me?!?! LOL. If you haven't, you should definitely check it out!

It's a product by Tulip designed for use on fabric but it works so great on paper!


You simply uncap it, hold it perpendicular to the paper (pretty close to the paper, but not touching it), and gently squeeze until you have it to the size you like it - stop squeezing & pull it straight up & you're all done! {You do  have to let it sit for 4 hours, but that's not too bad considering how stinking cute it comes out!}

I was just testing it out on some Mothers' Day cards I was thinking about making (too long a story for today's post) & here is one of them...


I just love them... have to go back & get more colors! I will need more coupons LOL!

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
