PROJECT OF THE WEEK WINNER FROM THE "BORDER OR FRAME" CHALLENGE

We have a winner! Dawn, from "Welcome 2 My Happy Place" submitted a great piece of art to the challenge.  She used lots of inks and then created a frame with an anchor from the Stand and Salute cartridge.  Her card is standing at attention - it sure got mine.  Grab your button Dawn, and congratulations.  We hope you will join our challenges, and be on the lookout for exciting changes coming to the BBTB2 blog.

And here is Here is the winner of the "Hit the Beach -- or Lake" challenge: DebiB! Your palm tree goes so perfectly as part of the background to your stamped image card. Just adorable! Thank you to all who did this challenge - I love your projects equally!

Happy Monday!  It's Michelle here, hosting this week, and I've selected a vacation/travel theme for our challenge.  Summer is a popular time to travel, so many of you probably have some vacation pictures or memorabilia that needs to be showcased in some way!

We are changing our format at BBTB2 a little to allow two weeks for our challenges going forward, which will hopefully let more of you have time to create and participate.  You can use your Blog, Pinterest, Instagram, or Flicker to link up any new project in the challenge which includes a cricut cut. The design team has shared some great projects below and we would love to see what you create!

Summer Swim Challenge

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here hosting this week.  Are you enjoying some summer?  Our challenge theme this week is Summer Swim, so you can have some cricut fun relating to swimming in the pool, lake, river, ocean....did I leave anything out?  I know my family has already spent a LOT of time in the pool, so I have lots of pictures to scrap!  The design team has some projects below to get you inspired and you can link up any type of new project that has a cricut cut fitting the theme below.  Have a great week and enjoy some summer fun!

Wearing of the Green!

Happy Monday!  It's Michelle here hosting this week.  Instead of a specific Cricut cut, I selected a 

COLOR CHALLENGE

to use GREEN (since St Patrick's Day is coming up!).  You still need to use a Cricut cut on your project along with some GREEN, but it does not have to be related to the holiday at all.  So you have lots of room for creativity!  However, my layout below is all holiday ready for some St. Pats parade pictures next week.  

The design team has some fun projects below and we hope you will link up a project too!  We love to see what others are making with their Cricuts!

It's Snowy and Cold!

Hi everyone, welcome to 2018!  It's Michelle here hosting this week.  Is it snowy and very cold where you live?  It appears much of the country is covered in snow and ice, making our challenge theme this week very appropriate (and if you're not covered in snow and ice, the rest of us are envious)!  Snow is the theme this week, and we look forward to seeing what wonderful new Cricut projects you come up with!  The design team has some inspiration below to get you started!  Cold snowy days and nights are perfect times to cozy up in your craft spot and get creative!

Cricut Word Challenge

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here hosting our challenge this week.  I chose a very general challenge theme - use any of the many Cricut words on your project.  This leaves your project choices wide open! You can do something for Halloween or another holiday, or branch out to anything your creativity can come up with!   The design team has some amazing projects to get you inspired below. You can link up a new project that includes a Cricut word cut below.

Back to School

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here hosting this week.  In my neck of the woods, it is back to school this week so I selected "Back to School" as our challenge theme.  You can interpret that any way you want to, just include a Cricut cut on a new project and link it up below.  I always take pictures on the first day of school, so I made a layout, with the trusty locker and backpack!  The rest of the design team have some great projects and we hope you'll share yours too!

Summer Theme

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here hosting this week.  Summer is here and I thought we should celebrate with a summer theme for our challenge this week.  Warm days, cold drinks, and sunshine, anyone?  I vote yes!  Any kind of summer themed Cricut cut will fit the challenge.  The design team has some ideas below to get the creative juices flowing and we hope you'll join us with a project.  Have some summer fun this week!
