Ice Cream Cone Challenge and New DT Member Reveal

I would like to shout out a warm welcome to this week's BBTB2 Weekly Challenge, my name is Penny Shuberg, and it's my honor to be the host for this week's project. I asked the design team to create any project or card using the Ice Cream Cone cut from any Cricut cart.  Ice cream to many may seem to be a sign of the warm months to come, but in my family it is almost considered a household staple. My DH and Grandchildren love ice cream any time of the year. Please don't be shy come and join us in the weekly challenge by creating your very own project. By entering and playing along you will have the chance to have your project picked for project of the week, we look forward to seeing what you come up with........YUUUUMY.........

Bumblebee or Ladybug Challenge

Welcome to BBTB2 challenge for this week. This is Krista Norman and I am your host. I asked the ladies to do a project using a bumblebee or a ladybug using any cart. I can't believe it is already Spring and these cute little bugs are flying around again.  I love new beginnings and the fresh air that Spring brings. Please join us this week in creating your own project, we love to see what you all come up with for a chance to have your creation picked for Project of the Week. Cheers....

Balloons and Birthday Card Challenge

Welcome to a new week and a new challenge here at BBTB2. Jeri here this week as hostess. I'd first like to thank all the players we've had in the last two weeks for our challenges. We appreciate everyone who takes the time and effort to play along. We love seeing your creations and how very talented you all are. April is birthday month at my house so I decided to ask the Design Team to make a birthday card using balloons from any Cricut cartridge. I used Lyrical Letters to cut my balloons, but you can choose to use balloons from any Cricut cartridge. Now remember, for our challenges here you must use the Cricut machine to cut (balloons) to be eligible for the challenge and it must be a new creation. No back links. You won't have any problem finding a cartridge with balloons because there are so many of them. Even if you don't have a balloon on one of your cartridges you can get inventive and perhaps use a circle or an oval to make a balloon. That would be acceptable, too. Have FUN!!! And don't forget our Design Team Call. There's still time left to apply. For all the deets, click HERE.

Thanks to all of you for participating in our special "Welcome" challenge sponsored by My Creative Classroom.

So without further ado, the winner of the class of her choice is #4 Cindy A

Congratulations, Cindy! Please contact me at dlmundinger(at)yahoo(dot)com to arrange for your prize.

And now a few words from Theresa, who chose the theme for this wonderful challenge.


Okay all, I have a winner for the POW and I have to tell you I had a HECK of a time picking a winner, I wish I could have given all of the participants a POW but one really stood out. It was so Bright and Cheery, brought a smile to my face, and I just kept going back to it (and my hubby even said he really liked it, said it reminded him of something I would do, lol!) so my Winner is Suzanne Pipitone, also known at Cricut Craftin Grammy! Congrats Suzanne and I know you'll display the POW on your Blog with Pride and I'm sure you'll be doing some Bragging too, LOL! Thanks again to everyone who played along, like I said before, I Loved them ALL! =]
Big ((Hugs)) to All and Take Care,
Theresa

A huge congrats to both Cindy and Suzanne. Again, the entries were just wonderful and we thank you all for playing along. Cindy, you can email me too, at dlmundinger (at)yahoo(dot)com and I'll send your POW badge right out.
