Summer Heat is for the Birds

Hello, everyone!

Melanie here and it's my turn to host a challenge. I was thinking that the summer heat had been here too long and it was for the birds. From this I got the idea that my challenge would be using a bird cut from any cricut cartridge. This should be an easy one as there are birds on so many cricut cartridges.

Want to participate? Just make a project using a bird cut on any cricut cartridge! Need inspiration? Take a look below at what the Bitten By the Bug 2 team has come up with this week for this challenge!

School Bus Time Again

Hello everyone, Susan here to host this week's Bitten by the Bug 2 Cricut challenge cut.  With two of my children being teachers, I am aware that the new school year is just around the corner.  In fact, teachers report back next week in our area.  With that in mind, for this week I chose a back to school themed cut:  A School Bus.  I asked the Design Team to use a school bus from any Cricut cartridge on their projects this week.  For those who do not have a cartridge with a school bus were welcome to use a back to school theme.

We would love for you to join us this week.  Please read the challenge rules on our side bar, then link your NEW project into the link area under this post.  But before you begin crafting, how about a bit of school bus inspiration from our fabulous Design Team!
