WALK IN MY GARDEN....GRASS CHALLENGE

Hello Bitten By The Bug Fans!

DeeDee here this week to offer up a brand new challenge for you Cricut lovers! This week the design team was surprised with some yummy new dingbats and a font from Scrapnfonts.com. WOW! There are lots of fun little images in this set called DB Mulberry Lane and the font is one of the cutest I've seen in a very long while, it's called LD Outline Curl.

Please stay tuned this week for a new contest sponsored by Scrapnfonts! Woohoo!
Okay, on to the challenge I've chosen for you this week. I asked the team to use the GRASS from the Walk In My Garden cartridge. Oh my goodness! What cuteness they've all created this week! The combination of Cricut and Scrapnfonts made for very wonderful creations! If you have this cartridge, we'd love it if you'd play along with us and then post your project via McKlinky at the end of this post.

STORYBOOK....BIRD CHALLENGE

Good Morning and happy Monday to all. My name is Carole and I am just so very excited to be the host of this week's Bitten By The Bug challenge. Last week that wonderfully talented Carla started us on the new hosting program and I am thankful I had her lead to follow. I asked the designers to use the Storybook Cartridge, and to design something using the pretty bird. I love this bird and since winter is approaching I thought it would be fun to have one last fling with spring....

I am pleased to show below the wonderful cards from the designers. And I hope that you will play along and make a card for the challenge by attaching it with Mr. Linky.

Also don't forget to check out the latest contest going on right now....CLICK HERE for details...We have the wonderful online store called: DREAM DESIGNS sponsoring the BBTB.

JOYS OF THE SEASON....PENGUIN CHALLENGE

Welcome Welcome Welcome

....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!!

Have a wonderful day ladies~!!

Let's get the show started shall we? ;)

Enjoy!
