Gratitude

Hello everyone, this is Susan from Busy with the Cricky welcoming you to our Gratitude challenge.  I have so much in my life for which to be grateful - loving family, wonderful friends, health, happiness and Bitten by the Bug 2!!  It is however, my sad duty to tell you that we have had some changes here at Bitten by the Bug 2 and will be moving forward without leadership of Carole and Donna.  I am pleased to tell you that Carole will remain on the design team, but Donna, our much loved Popsicle Toes, will be leaving the team.  We will miss their leadership, their humor, and Donna's fun designs, but we are grateful for their devotion to this site and wish Donna godspeed in her future endeavors.   One last farewell as we are also losing two members of our design team:  Sandi & Glenda, we wish you each all the best!

I have agreed to try to rally the troops and move forward with BBTB2 - grateful for the opportunity to see Regina Easter's vision of a weekly Cricut cut challenge blog continue.   You may notice one immediate change - we will be going live with our Monday morning weekly posts earlier from here forward.  We are hoping to reach those in the east before they have to get their day underway.  From here on we will be going live at 7:00 am EST. 

Today I am also grateful for each of you, our readers and those who choose to join us in the weekly challenges.  Without each of you we would be just a craft blog... and I think we are so much more!

Circle Design

Happy Monday dear BBTB2 visitors.  This week, BBTB2 will not be hosting the regular challenge.  Today our post is for inspiration only.  We selected the theme to be ...circles.  There is a lot of potential in this choice.   There are so many cartridges that offer a circle cut and I've actually used the letter O in a few card designs.   We hope that our cards have given you a bit of inspiration create a unique card using a circle.
