It's Been Too Long - But I'm Back with Projects!!!

I have missed you all so much!

I hope you have been getting your inspiration from somewhere, but haven't given up on me :-)

While I was away, I did a little crafting, but not as much as I would have liked.

I created a save-the-date card, an invitation, & a thank you card for a friend's mother-in-law's 60th birthday.

Her request was green & silver and elegant... I figured I could do that!

Here is what I came up with:

Save The Date Card: Core'Dinations Cardmaker Series Pearls in Silver (base); Georgia Pacific cardstock in white; Celebrate It Basic ribbon in emerald; tools - Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades Embossing Folders Damask & Regal Flourishes Set; We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper (measures 5.5" by 4.25")
The Invitation: Core'Dinations Cardmaker Series Pearls in Silver (base); Georgia Pacific cardstock in white; Recollections Jewel Cardstock in Emerald; Celebrate It Basic ribbon in emerald; tools - EK Success Swirl Edger Punch; Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades Embossing Folders Damask & Regal Flourishes Set (measures 5" by 6.5")

Thank You Card: Core'Dinations Cardmaker Series Pearls in Silver (base); Georgia Pacific cardstock in white; Celebrate It Basic ribbon in emerald; tools - Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades Embossing Folders Damask & Regal Flourishes Set; We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper (measures 5.5" by 4.25")
The invitees loved everything & I was so happy to do it!

Thanks for looking & I hope to be back soon!

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
