....for the last few weeks I have been mentioning to all of our wonderful BBTB readers that the BBTB was going to be starting something a bit different starting with our November 1st challenge.

To keep things fresh, the design team members will be hosting all of the weekly challenges besides the monthly BUG BLOG HOP at the end of each month...We think this will be a great way in keeping the BBTB site fun and fresh with a different design team member hosting each week..To start things off, we have our talented designer Carla Peicheff as our host this week.

Hello everyone! :) I'm Carla and i'll be your host this week on Bitten by the Bug!!! Are you ready for a fabulous new Cricut Challenge here at Bitten by the Bug!? Because this week we have such a fun cut for you! This weeks challenge is to use the "Penguin" cut from Joys of the Season. I love Christmas, especially fun Christmas cards & projects, so I knew this cut would make for some pretty fabulous projects! And as you can see from the amazing Design Team projects, I was right! We hope you'll have fun playing along this week! Be sure to leave your name & link so we can all check out your project!!
