ALRIGHTY.........Are you all ready for another fun contest...........Well before I announce the contest let's first talk about the designers challenge this week........Remember the GEORGE cartridge..you know that famous cartridge a lot of you got when you FIRST bought the BABY BUG...I remember buying the Cricut machine a month right after it came out a few years ago and I was in HEAVEN playing with the GEORGE cartridge....I mean it was unbelievable as to what I could do with that cartridge...did you all know that with the GEORGE cartridge and the Design Studio that you can just about design any type of cut.............all it takes is a bit of imagination.......With that being said, the designers this week were asked to use the flower cut from the cartridge...........but that is not all, this week the design team was lucky enough to play with a few products from SHORTCUTS...............they had to create a project based upon a sketch from SHORTCUTS using the FLOWER cut from the George cartridge....boy oh boy, did they do a great job....I tell ya I love these girls.......they are all so talented....

Have you ever used SHORTCUTS products before?.............Well guess what, they are sponsoring the bbtb this week with two prizes for two winners.............Each winner will get a $20.00 gift certificate to spend in their online store..............HOW FABULOUS IS THAT.......

Here is a little bit about SHORTCUTS:

This week’s artist samples are sponsored by ShortCuts . Launched in June of 2008, the sister site to SheetLoad of Cards, is dedicated making your papercrafting quicker and easier. Everybody likes a short cut every now and then!

The first ShortCuts product, available for purchase since July 1, 2008, was a Gift Card Holder Folders (GCHF)

The latest ShortCuts product, Clear & Frosted Card Blanks , will help you to make fabulous clear and frosted cards. Each of the stocks is made of a thick vinyl material. Think clear/frosted cardstock – none of that flimsy transparency material. Best of all the clear cards are fingerprint resistant. No more wearing white gloves while making your clear cards. You can also purchase the Clear & Frosted material in Full Sheets (8.5” x 11”).
