Happy Hauntings...Witch challenge

Hello everyone, this Susan from Busy with the Cricky and it is my week to select the challenge cut here at Bitten by the Bug 2! With Halloween just around the corner and so many of us thinking of costumes, home decor and parties, I selected the flying witch from Cricut's Happy Haunting cartridge. I love how intense this witch appears – leaning forward as if she is in a real hurry to put a hex on someone!!

Remember, here at Bitten by the Bug 2 we love for you to play along and create your own project with the weekly challenge cut - just post a link to your project in the area below this post. Also remember that as the rules of joining us in the weekly challenge go, if you do not own the Happy Hauntings cartridge, you can use ANY WITCH from Cricut cartridge and play along.

Our wonderfully talented design team is offering up some fabulous inspiration with this week's selection of projects! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did - beginning with my flocked material home decor project.

The Stamping Boutique....Happy Hauntings challenge

Good morning everyone! This is Heather and I'm so happy to announce that we are working with an additional sponsor this month...The Stamping Boutique. Here's a little bit about them:

Tracey Malnofski's resume reads like a whose who of the Stamping Industry. Besides being the owner and a designer for The Stamping Boutique, she's also a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Company and has also worked for InStyle Stamps, Squigglefly, and The Digi Shack. She's a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in her community.Tracey has quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but she loves them all. Her "Boutique" has it all - fairytale, whimsy, sentimental . . . and Candy!

Here's what Tracey says about her Stamping Boutique.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality, as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

Store: http://thestampingboutique.com/
Challenge Blog: http://thestampingboutiquechallengeblog.blogspot.com/
Monthly Challenge: http://thestampingboutiquechallengeblog.blogspot.com/p/monthly-contest.html

I asked the designers to use any frame from Happy Hauntings and they got to pick a fall image from The Stamping Boutique. I love what they have come up with and I'm sure you will, too.

Look for a new contest coming up this week for a chance to win some Stamping Boutique stamps.

Project of the Week - Haunted House

Hi this is Susan the design team member who tortured her DT sister's by selecting the Haunted House challenge. I had so much fun creating the Haunted House for the Happy Hauntings house challenge. My biggest and most unfounded fear was that our readers might night want to play along. Boy, oh boy, was I ever wrong!! We had fabulous haunted entries and I loved each and every one. It was really tough to choose, but I loved all of the details and the finishing techniques that Cheryl put into her Haunted Asylum. And for that reason I have selected Cheryl's house as our Project of the Week. You can see Cheryl's house HERE and read about all of the amazing techniques she used in creating her haunted house.

Thank you again to everyone who joined the Haunted House challenge. You houses were all amazing !!

Do you need more incentive?

As of now, Friday night, there are no entries for the Haunted House challenge. It's not THAT hard! ;)

Just to entice you a little more (because you know how much we love looking at your work), I'm giving away two sets of Halloween papers from MME. Each one has 9 papers and a die cut sheet.

So, all you have to do is make a spooky Halloween house (either 3-D or flat like Theresa made) in order to win. One winner will be chosen at random. You have to upload a project using Linky.

I'm going to change the challenge end date by one extra week. You have another 2 weeks to complete a house. You can do it!! I know you can!

ETA: Ok, there were 7 entries, not zero. I had the wrong Linky code in there. Thank you for pointing that out!

ETA: Link to challenge: here

P.S. That Spellbinders die in the back corner is mine and not included in the giveaway. ;)

3-D Haunted House - Happy Hauntings

Hi this is Susan and this is my week to select the challenge cut for the Design Team. In true Halloween spirit (or is that Spirits?) I chose the 3-D Haunted House from Happy Hauntings. This house is sooo adorable when completed; it will make a perfectly haunting accent in your October decor.

There are quite a few pieces to cut with this house but the cutting goes quickly. The assembly on the other hand does take time, but the results are well worth the effort. The back of the Happy Hauntings manual has step by step assembly instructions that even I could follow!

As a team we discovered that cutting the house at 7 inches allowed it to fit on the 12 x 12 mat. With that little tid bit of info, don't forget to play along with us and add your project to Linky below. We'll be giving away a Project of the Week blinkie to one lucky participant. If you don't have Happy Hauntings, feel free to use another cart to make a spooky house (either 1-D or 3-D).
