Passing the Torch

Hello everyone! It's me, Heather.

I want to thank you so very much for sticking with me for the last two years. I have made a difficult decision to step down from being in charge of Bitten by the Bug 2. My grandson was recently born in late October and I will be his full time caregiver while my daughter goes back to work. I will have little time to do much of anything except play with Blake all day. :)

I'll still be here and will do the occasional challenge.

So, effective 2012 Donna and Carole are to take over. Yay! They're going to keep it going and I know it's going to be better than ever.

Thank you again for all your support.

Winter Frolic Tag

Happy Monday everyone, Lori here ! This week I decided to select a Christmas tag to make using the Winter Frolic cartridge. I haven't used this cartridge before, but when I was checking out the book and the images I realized how many darling things were on this cart ! I just love the tag features and it is SOOOO much fun to mix and match the phrases too ! I hope that you will join us in taking the challenge with us ! I know that the Design Team loves to see what everyone creates for every challenge. Of course if you don't have this cartridge, please feel free to join in and select any tag and Christmas image you have ! Thank you so much for playing along with us this week !!!

What? It's Monday again?

*YAWN* I can't believe it's Monday again. We ate too much turkey and slept too much. We love our Cricut, but between the turkey, guests and Black Friday deals, many of us never really made it back to our craft rooms to play with our Cricuts.

We're taking another week off, 'k?

When we come back next week, look for a contest and giveaway from My Pink Stamper!!

Meow...Mouse Challenge

Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by to check out this week's challenge. Melissa here, and it is my turn to choose the challenge. I decided to use the mouse cut from the Meow cartridge, or a mouse from any cartridge. I saw this little guy and thought he was just too cute! With the holidays approaching, I thought this was a good choice that would look equally great in a holiday project or in an every day project. I'm sure you are as excited as I am to see the creations using this cut this week! We love to see your designs for the challenge too, so please play along and share your creations with us. I hope everyone out in BBTB2 land has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I for one, am very thankful to be part of such an amazingly crafty and creative team. Feel free to comment and let us know what you are thankful for this year. :) Wishing you all a wonderful week! --Melissa

Winter Woodland...Joy Challenge

Welcome everyone! My name is Mona from Scrapbooking for JOY, and I would first like to thank you all for visiting Bitten by the Bug 2 and participating in our weekly challenges. This is my first opportunity to choose the challenge, and I wanted it to be meaningful. It didn't take me much time for me to realize that my world revolves around God and my daughter Joy. My daughter has brought so much JOY to my life, including strengthening my relationship with God so I decided to use the word Joy since Christmas is near. This weeks challenge is the word Joy from Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge. If you do not have the Joy cut from Winter Woodland, you can participate by using any cart with the word Joy. Please make sure you're submitting a new project! Enjoy and I look forward to seeing your creation :)
