Winter Woodland...Rabbit Challenge

Hello! My name is Melissa Kirwan and I am hosting the BBTB2 Challenge this week! It's very exciting to come back here and check out what all the FABULOUS designers are up to each week, isn't it? I'd like to say "Thanks" to all of you who follow and support this blog as well.It's that time again for the monthly Blog Hop! The first one of 2010. So please hop around to the designer's blogs for some free blog candy. The cut I chose for this week's challenge is the bunny from the Winter Woodland cartridge. Since I first saw pics of this cartridge I immediately fell in love with this little guy! I also chose him because we are getting close to Valentine's Day, and then Easter and Spring, so I thought he might inspire us to leave the winter blues far behind. Check out the amazing creations below and maybe you'll be inspired too! We'd love to see your designs too so be sure to use McLinky to show us.

Sweethearts - Stamp Challenge

Love is in the air...And it always amazes me how quickly after Christmas we start to see valentine treats...the shades of red, pink and purple start to fill the stores and we see love in the air...smile...I love Valentine's day and never find enough time to create everything I want or need so this week I chose a cut for our challenge that would start our Valentine projects... This week our team of wonderful, sweet designers were to use the Stamp cut from the Sweethearts Cartridge. The Sweethearts Cartridge is filled with wonderful cuts for Valentine projects and seemed to be the perfect fit...and it is...Take a look at these wonderful projects the designers have created...They have taken this challenge to a different level...the projects are not only perfect for Valentine's day but are the perfect gift for a wedding, anniversary or even just a "Just Because" love note.... Wonderful job ladies!!! I am truly "In Love" with all this creativity!!

Big Hugs

Doodlecharms...Snowman challenge

My name is Krista Norman and I am honored to be hosting BBTB2 this week. So what does winter mean to you? To me it often means sledding with my kiddos, ice-skating in our local park, and of course building snowmen. We recently had a huge snowstorm in our city so I couldn't help but choose the cute little snowman on Doodlecharms as our challenge this week. This snowman is the cutest ever and all of the girls did a fabulous job displaying that. Please join us in creating your very own snow friend. Remember whatever fills your life with joy, now is the time to embrace it and celebrate. I wish you a month of fun and taking some time to document the things you love, especially creating that wintery friend.

Please be sure to link us up with your completed project using McKlinky below!Melissa Kirwin

Contest Time!

I promised you a contest and here it is! It's Bitten By The Bug 2's first (of many) contests. Expressions Vinyl has a generous package of vinyl ready to ship to the winner of our next contest.

All you need to do is make a Valentine's Day project using any cut from any Cricut cartridge that you want.

Ok, but it's not that easy. I'm going to make you work for it. You have to add the color purple to your project. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just a little touch if you want or make the whole project purple.

I know you can do this and we can't wait to see what you create. To enter, please add your link to McKlinky below.

The contest is open until January 26 11:00 MST. We'll draw a winner by February 1st.

A Child's Year ...Valentine challenge...Expressions Vinyl

Hello everyone! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and what better time than now to start your projects. You're going to LOVE what these ladies have created this week. Jennifer Wuthrich chose the Valentine's cut from A Child's Year for this week's challenge. Jennifer is feeling a little under the weather this week so I'm going to do the introduction. If you feel up to it, maybe you could leave her a "get well soon" comment on her blog.

BBTB2 also has their very first sponsor! Expressions Vinyl is hosting the designers this week. Psssst....watch for a new contest this week.

Here's a little bit about them:

Expressions Vinyl sells craft vinyl for all your scrapbook vinyl and vinyl crafting needs.

We sell the same craft vinyl that Provo Craft sells for their Cricut vinyl. We cut out the fancy Cricut vinyl packaging and the distribution system to bring the same high quality Cricut vinyl to you at a fraction the cost.

If you've never used vinyl, that's not a problem. They have numerous How-To videos here.

I had never used vinyl before and was slightly intimidated by it. After watching some of the videos, I think I'm hooked. It's so easy and so much fun!

Look at all the different colors they carry, too! I'm going back to buy more. :)

So, without further ado, here are this week's projects from the BBTB2 designers. I'm suddenly in the mood for a big red heart filled with chocolates...

I've had a few questions asked about the challenges. Let me see if I can answer some of them here. The challenges run for 2 weeks. You can share your finished project with us and everyone else by adding your link to McKlinky below. You can link either your blog or another on-line gallery you have. If you don't have an on-line gallery, you can start one here at A Peek Into Yesterday. You can post ANY type of project you make. We love to see layouts, cards, boxes, anything you can think of. Please share with us! Thanks!
