Bitten by the Bug 2: Lisa Swift

Hi folks, it's Donna Mundinger here, bringing you this week's challenge. I'd been looking over what seems like a TON of my new cartridges lately and trying to remember why each was a "must have" at the time (especially since so many of them have remained untouched, sound familiar?). While leafing through the manual of Sentimentals I came across the gorgeous bee with the swirly wings and knew immediately that that is the cut I wanted to play with. I'm hoping all of my Design Team sisters have the cartridge, but there are so many with busy little bees on them that could be substituted, I hope everyone can play along. That goes for you too, dear readers. Feel free to substitute the bee of your choice if you don't have the Sentimentals cartridge. It's also the last Monday of the month which means it's BLOG HOP TIME! Here's the list of participants, each of whom will be offering up a little candy so be sure to buzz by their blogs and take a look.

Buzzin' By..to say "Hi" by Marina Vazquez

Happy Monday to all. This is Carole and I am so pleased to be the hostess this week for our design team. I have chosen Plantin Schoolbook for the cartridge, and I have used the rick rack cut for the die. I love this little cut...it serves so many different purposes on cards or scrapbooking. I love the way the designers take a cut and make it their own. All of the ideas and creations are just fantastic. We would love to have you play along. If you don't have this particular cartridge, play along by selecting a strip design from any other cartridge. There is a cute cute scallop on several cartridges. Why you can even pick a flourish. We always love it when you play along with our challenges.

This is Heather and I'm pleased to announce we have another Guest Designer this month. Her name is Lisa Swift. You can see her gallery here. Lisa is also part of the Good Grief blog.

Hi! My name is Lisa Swift and I’m excited to participate in some of this month’s challenges with the talented BBTB2 team. I started scrapping nine years ago when my daughter, Alexa, was born and I’ve been addicted ever since. The Cricut is one of the newer additions (about a year or so) to my scrapbooking collection, thanks to Heather and some of the other enabling ladies at apeekintoyesterday.com. LOL! When I’m not scrapping, I like to volunteer at my daughter’s school, go to yoga class, bake/cook, and read.
