LOOKING TO ADD A FEW BUG DESIGNERS

I am looking to add a few more BUG designers to the BITTEN by the BUG site........If you are interested, please email me 1 card using at least one cut from the following cartridges:
George
Doodlecharms
Christmas
Accent essentials

The THEME of the card needs to be holiday related from the following holidays...either Halloween, Christmas or Valentine's Day...

When emailing me the card, please let me know which Cartridge(s) you used....

As far as compensation goes for being on the team, well basically it STINKS because there isn't any..............BUT, what you do get is to be on a team that is lots of fun and you get to show the whole CYBER world your awesome creations using the BUG..........Plus you get to challenge yourself weekly....

Okay now for the small print:
Each week normally on Saturdays I email all the designers letting them know which cartridge we will be working on along with what cut from the cartridge............

There is a full week to do the challenges.........So for the challenges that I emailed you about on Saturday, I would upload your creations a week from that following Monday on Monday....

You do NOT need to do each challenge each week...........at least twice a month would be awesome.

I am looking for individuals that have at least 8 to 10 cartridges...........

You CAN'T enter any of the contest on the site.........(you would be one of the judges)

Please email me your card by October 22nd (Monday) fabriccutups@prodigy.net

Also if you have a blog or gallery, I would love to see that to....

CHRISTMAS CARTRIDGE CHALLENGE....

Okay, I think you all are going to love this weeks challenge and the awesome creations the designers came up with....The challenge for this week was to use the Christmas Cartridge card and matching envelope on page 127.....Whether you have the big bug or the small bug, this cartridge is perfect for making little note cards with matching envelopes.......The designers did an awesome job with this challenge............I know several of you have this cartridge, so why don't you play along and link in the comment section where we can find your creation......You could also use the card with the matching envelope you make for the current contest going on right now to win a CUTTLEKIDS machine.....


We also have a new Guest Designer this month: Denise Milazzo
Here is a little bit about Denise:


I live in Long Island, NY ( 20 minutes from Manhattan) with my husband Joe of 6 years and my 2 children Giavanna age 4 and Christopher age 2 1/2. I was a NYC Paramedic for 8 years (now SAHM due to a back injury) and met my hubby while working (he is a NYC Police Officer). Besides scrapbooking, I love card-making, rubber stamping, wine tasting, watching SpongeBob with my kids, reading and baking. I am very active on SplitCoast Stampers where you can often find me hostessing challenges during Virtual Stamp Night and Virtual Scrapbooking Night! I am always up for a challenge! I love to teach scrapbooking, card making and rubberstamping also and show lots of my work on my blog, Handmade by Me! Thanks for this opportunity!

Thanks for joining us this month Denise....we look forward to seeing your awesome BUG creations.

BBTB CONTEST.................

Well Hallmark Scrapbook is doing it again.............they will be sponsoring our next contest with one lucky winner, winning a very ADORABLE PRIZE....................The CUTTLEKIDS MACHINE....Yes this little machine is just awesome.....Now you and your child can scrap all day together and he/she will have their very own little BUG.................This machine is made for children and works great.....It has so many cute dies...........and it is very easy to use..My six year old mastered it in just a few minutes....It would make a great Christmas present....Hallmark Scrapbook is not only sponsoring just the machine, but also a few dies to go along with the machine.....now don't fret just because it is called the cuttleKIDS..........you big KIDS will love it to.....See this cute little truck.........I made this card with the machine......


Now for the details:


..Okay since probably the holidays are just about on most peoples mind right now, I think we might end up forgetting that several of our family and friends have birthdays coming up soon, so we want to see some cute birthday cards with matching envelopes..........but here is the catch, since the machine is suppose to be geared towards KIDS, the card and MATCHING ENVELOPE has to be for a kid: little girl or boy..........


..You must use at least one cut from ANY of the Cricut/Expression machine cartridges.


..You need to link your project to this posting thread


..All prior BBTB winners are welcome to enter


..Deadline is midnight of the 28th of October (Sunday)


..HAVE FUN..........


Note: If you are looking for a Cartridge that already has a envelope on it, the Christmas Cartridge has a card and matching envelope on it and also the New Arrival cartridge has a card with a matching envelope......I believe a few other cartridges have cards and matching envelopes to; but you don't have to make an entirely new envelope, you can just decorate a store bought envelope to match your kid card.................BUT...........if you just need to have a cartridge that does cut envelopes and you don't have one, hop on over to Hallmark Scrapbook and purchase one of the two listed cartridges...their service is EXCELLENT AND FAST..........Best I have seen on the Web by far.
