DO YOU WANT TO BE A BBTB DESIGNER

Do you love using your CRICUT or EXPRESSION machine? Well I am looking for a few new people to join our BBTB team. The term would be for 3 months (end of July).
Here is a little bit about being a BBTB DESIGNER:
There is a weekly challenge each week.
You need to try and do at least 2 of them a month.
You need to own at least 10 cartridges...or have access to at least 10
Most of the time you can create any type of project you want.
The COMPENSATION stinks because there isn't any....just pure weekly fun.
You are not eligible to enter any contests....because you would be a judge.....
So if you think you would be interested, please email me 2 projects (any type) that you have done using the Cricut/Expression machines, that you feel best shows your work...The projects can be of work previously done or new.
Also if you have a blog or gallery please email me that information also...

CELEBRATIONS....HAT CHALLENGE

Oh my I have got to great things to tell you all about today.......One being that we have a new Guest Designer for the month of April; Kazan Clark and my on my her work is going to truly inspire you.....Here is a little bit about Kazan:

First off I would just like to say that I am thrilled to be BBTB’s guest designer for April – this is going to be a fun month to create things from our beloved little Bugs. I am a SAH- Mommy to Ashton (almost 4) and Alex (almost 2) and wife to an adoring husband, Kevin. We have been married 10 years (on Valentines Day) and live in beautiful Colorado. Our family is scattered all over the globe, including Canada, Hawaii, South Africa and Dubai – so we do enjoy traveling and visiting exotic places.

I am a relatively new scrapbooker and even newer cardmaker. I started scrapbooking just over 3 years ago when Ashton was born. This year I tried my hand at making cards and I am really getting into it - now I have to be careful that I find a balance between the two so that I stay up to date! My style is forever changing but for the most part I like a simpler clean cut look on my pages and cards. I tend to use a LOT of black - that seems to be my signature. My dream remains to be to be picked up as a designer for a manufacturer or craft company or to get published on a regular basis but until then, I am happy blogging, visiting forums and getting inspiration from all those talented scrappers out there!


WELCOME KAZAN..........We here at the BBTB are so excited to have you as our Guest Designer!

Be sure to check out Kazan's blog.....it is awesome


Okay now for the other great thing, I am not sure if many of you have ever really used that cute little hat cut on page 103 of the Manual from the CELEBRATIONS cartridge, it is by far the cutest cut for birthdays...oooooooo I had so much fun designing with this cut and as you will see the designers had a great time to.......My oh my all of the designs are just adorable.....
