POW - Owl cut

I was completely blown away by the amount of people that played along with us this week! There were so many amazing projects, I had an incredibly difficult time choosing just one for the project of the week. After much deliberation, I finally chose creativeprincess for her adorable owl notebooks. Who wouldn't love receiving one of these? Congrats creativeprincess, I will get in touch with you to send you the blinkie for your blog.

Stretch Your Imagination... Ice Cream Cone Cut Challenge

Summertime is all about fun and family, getting all of your friends together and eating lots of ice-cream in every flavor. I have the honor of hosting the bloghop this week. I heart everything about this season from roasting s'mores, swimming, bicycle rides, picnics, and of course ice-cream cones. This week I chose the ice-cream cone off of SYI. This cart is full of whimsical images which I love. The team has created some really yummy projects. I think you are going to enjoy each and every one of them. We would love for you to join us in making your own creations as we all look forward to seeing what you make, so gather your supplies, pour some lemonade, and get ready to create. Happy Creating...Your Host this week.....Krista Norman

This is blog hop week. So, get yourself a drink (coffee, tea, milkshake), sit back and visit each of the blogs listed after the projects for a chance to win goodies.

POW for Going Places cart

I'm sorry. I realize that I'm a little late on this. I should have posted this last Tuesday.

Anyway, there were so many cute entries. I had a hard time choosing one but this one really caught my eye. Did you know there was this darling dog on the Cricut Lite Chore Chart cart? I had no idea. It will be mine. Soon.

Congratulations to Ruthie for winning POW at BBTB2. I'll get your email address and I'll send you a blinkie to put on your blog.

Thank you everyone for participating in the challenges. We love to see your work. You inspire us!!

Time for a new contest!

It's time for a new contest! The winner will receive a great prize package from Shelly's Images.

How's your summer going so far? It's hot and humid here...as I be it is everywhere else. ;) I can't wait for fall.

So, let's base this contest on fall. Make a project that is fall related (you can even do Halloween!) that includes a Cricut cut and a stamp of some sort.

Link us up using Linky below. The contest will run for 2 weeks and then we'll pick a winner a few days after that.

Good luck!

I loved reading all your stories. If you haven't had a chance to read any of them, please do so. It's nice to know we're all human and make similar goof-ups.

So, anyway, Chris Wooten is our randomly chosen winner.

I'll get together with you, Chris.

Congratulations Chris and thank you everyone for sharing your stories.

Whooo's ready for a challenge? - Storybook Owl Cut

Hi, Karen here! I’m one of the newer designers for BBTB2, and it’s my pleasure to bring you this week’s challenge. I chose the adorable little owl from the Storybook cartridge. My mom collected owls back in the 70’s, so this little guy really brought back memories for me. The DT has made some precious projects with this cut, and I can’t wait to see what you will create with it! Remember, if you don’t have this cartridge, you can use any owl from another cartridge. And don’t forget, you will have the chance to win the “Project of the week” blinkie for your blog!

POW Genie Lamp Cut

First I would like to thank everyone who participated in last week's Genie Lamp cut challenge. It was a unique cut and I enjoyed all the exceptional entries.  Unfortunately I am only able to choose one Pick of the Week for BBTB2 and my selection is the card created by Critterbugg365. I just love the color combination she used for this challenge and all the little details she added... just lovely!

If you missed her creation you can see it on her blog right here.

Critterbugg362 will receive an awesome blog blinkie too... how great is that??:!! :-)

Well now, this is embarrassing AKA cart GIVEAWAY

Has this ever happened to you? You accidentally buy TWO of the same carts? Please tell me "yes".

Anyway, I have 2 Limited Edition Summer Vacation carts and I really only need one. I'm going to give away the 2nd one. So, who wants the Summer Collection cart?

Tell me something you've done recently that was totally embarrassing. I'm on vacation this week, so I'll pick a winner sometime around the 17th of July.

Good luck! :D

Thank you for all your support!!

Reader's Choice....Going Places Cat or Dog Cut

I hope everyone had a nice holiday yesterday.

You asked for it, so you get it. We had several readers ask us to use the Going Places cart. I couldn't decide which cut to use so I handed the handbook over to my 6 year old daughter. She chose the cat and dog cut. Of course she did.

I like these cuts. They're simple and quick and can be decorated easily.

I know you'll love what the designers have done with these cuts.

Please let us know in the comment section what carts you'd like to see us work with. We try to do Reader's Choice the first week of the month.

Also, don't forget to play along. Don't be shy! If you don't have the Going Places cart, use a dog or cat from any other cart. Link us up using McKlinky below so we can see your work and leave comments on it.
