It Has Been A While!

- 

It has been so long since I posted that I am not sure if I still have  followers... are you all still out there???  Let me hear from you (at least 20 of you) and I will give away some goodies!  I haven't given up on crafting though. I made my first explosion box for my  daughter for her birthday. She really liked it - but she hoped a puppy would  have jumped out LOL!  (Leave a comment to be entered in the "drawing" by Tuesday, October 4th at 12pm  EST. If you are chosen as the winner, you may win a Cricut Cartridge, a set of  Nestabilities, or some other wonderful goodie!)

    Funny story about your daughter wanting the puppy to hop out.

    What an adorable box! I love the bright colors you chose to use. Funny about the puppy, thank goodness she didn't want a pony huh?!?!

    Welcome back! ;)

    Sweet box - I love the colors and papers you used! So cheerful - perfect for a birthday box! I am thinking that would have been a tiny puppy :)

    Hope nothing bad was keeping you from blogging.

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

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
