Design Team Call




Hello everyone.  Susan here to announce our Design Team Call!  We are very excited to offer you this opportunity to join our Cricut Challenge Design Team.  Our DT is a lovely group of crafters who love their Cricut die cut machines and love to inspire others with our creations.  We are looking for six new DT members who are as excited about paper crafting as our current members and who love to inspire others.

Members of our Design Team are asked to participate in at least 3 challenges per month.  We ask you to leave comments on the blogs of our weekly challenge participants.  We ask the team member to host one challenge each quarter of the year, and select that week's challenge cut.  We need for you to have a blog so that you can post your challenge project each week, linking back to the BBTB2 blog.

If this sounds like something you would like to do, we encourage you to submit a project as an audition.  We are asking everyone who is interested in joining the team to SUBMIT A FALL THEMED PROJECT which uses at least two Cricut cuts.  Link your project from your blog to THIS post.

We are going to accept audition submissions for two weeks.  The third week we may ask for a follow up project from our favorites.

We are so looking forward to seeing what you submit and adding our new members.  Good luck!!

French Fry Box Challenge

Hello everyone!  Susan here to bring you this week's Cricut challenge.  I selected the French Fry 3-D box from the Art Philosophy cartridge.  I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do with this under used cut box cut and I thought it would be fun to see what the Design Team came up with also.  And of course these creative ladies did not disappoint!  

Please check the challenge rules in our side bar and then plan to join us in this week's Cricut challenge.  We would love to see how you plan to use the French Fry box!!  But first how about a little inspiration?
