3-D Rose Challenge

Hello everyone, Susan here to introduce this week's Cricut Challenge Cut! I also have some sad news to share - Our sweet Carole has decided to reorder her crafting priorities and will be taking a step back from Bitten by the Bug 2.

From Carole: "I am stepping away from BBTB2 for now so I can devote my time to sewing for some shelters and other worthwhile agencies. I have about 14 quilts I have finished with many more to work on. I love sewing and this new adventure will take a lot of my time. So for now.... a fond goodbye to the wonderful design team sisters and to my friends and followers. I will post cards now and then, and maybe some sewing projects." I am going to miss Carole so much; she has been a pillar of strength and inspiration.

Now on to business as usual.... I have recently become addicted to the 3D Rose cut on the Art Philosophy cartridge. I think the flowers have such potential and I thought it would be fun for the Design Team to share some ideas on how to use the flowers.

We would love for you to join us in our weekly challenge. Once you create your project using the 3D Rose from Art Philosophy (or any other 3D flower from a Cricut Cartridge) be sure to check the challenge rules on our sidebar, and then add your project into the link area at the bottom of this post. If you do not own Art Philosophy and would be interested in purchasing the cartridge, click the Close To My Heart blinkie on our sidebar. And now - onto a garden of 3D floral inspiration!!

Spring is in the Air

Happy Monday dear BBTB2 visitors.  It's Carole and I am the hostess of the weekly challenge.  I also have the honor of introducing our new Design Team member, Sarah from Live, Love, and SCRAP!   As a team we are so excited to welcome Sarah and her creative genius to the Bitten by the Bug 2 Design Team!  We hope each of you will help us welcome Sarah to BBTB2.

Currently Arizona is in a mild warming zone but I see so many areas battling brutal weather with snow and frigid temps.  I decided that perhaps we should honor Spring with our challenge.  It will arrive soon and it will be a welcome sight indeed.

Please join us on our Spring themed challenge.  Create a new card or project, be sure to use a Cricut cut for a spring theme, upload your creation to Mr. Linky.  On your blog be sure to link back to BBTB2, and be sure to name your cartridge.  We love it when you join up.  There are so many talented friends that visit us. We appreciate you all.
