POOH AND FRIENDS....FLOWER FRAME CHALLENGE

AWE..............what an awesome challenge we have for you all this week which comes from the POOH AND FRIENDS cartridge.....I am not sure if many of you are like me that when new cartridges come out, one of the first things I like to do is see what every little cut is on the cartridge...many times just because the title may seem basic, there is so much more to the cartridge, which is in this case why I love the POOH AND FRIENDS cartridge...There are so many cute ICONS and other cuts on the cartridge that one can use for all sorts of different things.....The cut the designers this week were asked to use is the FLOWER FRAME (FLWFRME)...which can be found on page 62 of the manual.........this cut is beyond cute...boy just think of all one could do with this cut....This cut would be awesome around a mirror for a little girls room..(smile)....Take a look at what the designers did this week and prepare to be INSPIRED.....Don't forget to post your take on this cut in the comment section....

Also this is the last week to enter in the current contest here at the bbtb....you really don't want to miss out on the awesome prizes from PROVO CRAFT....click here for details....deadline is next Monday the 22nd of September....

I so love when Sundays come around because I get to show off the awesome work from the BBTB designers....and this week they did a wonderful job using either of the two BASKET cuts from the DOODLECHARMS......You can find them on pages 89 and 116 from the manual.......OOOOOOOOO I love the designs....It is just so amazing to see the different takes on one simple cut....they were able to use the cut any way they they wanted....Don't forget to link your creations to this challenge in the comment section....

This month we also have a guest designers joining us...SUSAN EDWARDS, here is a little bit about Susan:

I am Susan Edwards, wife, mother, daughter, sister, artist, administrative professional, and scrapbooker. I have always found enjoyment and gratification in creating art. For me scrapbooking was an archival form of art allowing the chronicling of my three children’s lives (now BIG children at 22, 20 and 17). I have been a scrapbooker for the last decade, but the introduction of the Cricut turned a boarder-line scrap addiction into a full-fledged scrapping obsession! I love my Cricut Expression! Honestly! I really do!

In January 2007 a group of friends and I attended a scrapbook retreat near Atlanta, GA and that weekend changed our lives! The retreat center provided a Cricut machine for our use and we were hooked! After returning home, several of us purchased Cricuts, and since then even more of us purchased and/or up-graded to the Expression. The Expression machine combined with Cricket Design Studio software has allowed me to once again enjoy being an artist, a designer, and scrapbooker, all while chronicling the journey of our lives. So again I say, I love my cricut, honestly!

WELCOME SUSAN.....WE CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE YOUR AWESOME

WORK.....


Don't forget the bbtb is having a CONTEST going on right now with some YUMMY prizes from Provo Craft....A new cuttlebug machine and the Design Studio software..........so you say you already have those two items, well remember Christmas is coming up and those two prizes would make an awesome gift...........Click here for details.
