Happy Birthday Scrappin' Sista!

This month, I am one of the special guests over at One Scrappin Sista's blog.


All this month, she has had her crafty friends stopping by to create beautiful projects using her favorite colors.


I chose to create a Beautiful Butterfly Birthday card using turquoise, orange (my favorite color), and purple.


For my project, I made - what else - a birthday card. 






I recently picked up an American Girl border punch & a Cuttlebug embossing folder - from the Cricut Companion Once Upon a Princess set -  that, both, featured butterflies. I was so anxious to use them on a project together. What better time to create than now?!?! I used turquoise Recollections metallic cardstock from Michael's along with purple & orange cardstock from their seasonal packs. 






I used some of my VersaMagic chalk ink in Sea Breeze to ink the edges of the card base & layered pieces. I added some white ribbon from my stack & a few brads and viola! 






Hope you all enjoyed my project. Happy Birthday month Christel!


There are some great projects over at her blog & some chances to win some sweet blog candy - be sure to check it out here!


I have a few more birthday cards coming up along with graduation announcements - so stay tuned!


(Hope all of this month's winners received their goodies!!!)

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
