There are a number of blogs in that list that just really "jump out" at me, so to speak ~ and I would like to share some of those with you......    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; don't just look at the first one or two projects......  you need to look at the first 3 or 4 PAGES!&lt;/span&gt;  It doesn't take that long and you don't even have to read everything....  just look at the creations!    If there is anything that you want to see a better picture of....  just double-click on the picture and it should enlarge for you.....   I really find that this is a "learning tool" for me....  and hopefully it will be for you as well! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few to get you started....  I'll try to post more over the weekend (if not, then Monday)!&lt;br /&gt;Don't be afraid to become a "Follower" of any of these blogs!  And by all means, leave some LOVE!!!!   : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***  &lt;a href="http://regina-bittenbythebug.blogspot.com/"&gt;Bitten By The Bug&lt;/a&gt; ***   This is one of the most inspiring blogs you will visit!  : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***  &lt;a href="http://beautifuldelightsblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;Beautiful Delights Blog&lt;/a&gt; ***  Again, another favorite!  : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***  &lt;a href="http://www.scrapsketch.com/"&gt;Scrap Sketch&lt;/a&gt; ***    This is an AWESOME place to inspiration!!!  : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three (3)  sites should give you plenty to look at over the weekend!!!

That will actually work to our advantage since October 1st will be our kick-off for the Blog-iversay Celebration!  **&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me, music is a form of poetry.  I often find myself turning to music when I have a special picture that needs to be scrapped. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is my challenge to you...Create a scrapbook&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; layout&lt;/span&gt; (or a card if you don't do LO's) that incorporates the lyrics of a song. You can use a single verse or the entire song. The key is to have fun with it.   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Use your STORYBOOK&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cartridge for the title&lt;/span&gt; ~ if you do not have Storybook then pick another cart to use, but if you have it, use it!  Oh, and one more thing.....  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;you have to use three (3) pictures in the LO!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Due date is........   October 1st.........   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;*****************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When October arrives, we're going to hit the ground running!  We have TONS of things planned!  Lot's of little projects with a "Celebrate" theme (since we will be Celebrating our 1 yr Blog-iversary!)  There will be blog-candy to win and fun to be had by all!  Please make a special effort to join us thru out the month of October and Celebrate with us!   There will be a Blinkie available for DT Members to post to your blog!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;**Happy Scrapping!**&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-606937757807424201?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/606937757807424201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=606937757807424201' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/606937757807424201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/606937757807424201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2009/09/challenge-25.html' title='Challenge #25'/><author><name>Cindy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05094146706365025656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-5774771835029978126</id><published>2009-09-09T05:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-11T09:39:06.665-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Challenge 24 Projects</title><content type='html'>Hello Everybody!  Today is the day to turn in your Challenge #24 Projects!  I hope this was as challenging to each of you as it was for me!  I had to keep walking away from my project as I was working on it because it just wasn't coming together the way I had originally hoped....  finally after the third trip...  it worked!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The projects I'm seeing are wonderful!  You have each taken a different avenue with this challenge and I like it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't wait to see what the rest of the team has done!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~&lt;a href="http://asimplelife-cbt.blogspot.com/"&gt;Christina&lt;/a&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qEdXTBvB-y0/SqpBRUpWo8I/AAAAAAAAAWk/wEjJftBcwtE/s1600-h/New+Image.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

See, I am going to be stepping down for a little while as co-host of this amazing WSB challenge blog. The fabulous Cindy, whose baby this was from the beginning &amp;amp; was kind enough to offer me a DT/co-hosting spot from the start, is ready to step back up to the plate full time as your amazing host! She is such a great gal and I love the challenge she just posted the other day! It is going to be so much fun! She will be making sure new DT members come on board, that we get some rockin' guest designers, and that soon we will be having some great sponsors as well. For this I am so excited!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so excited because this is something that I had wanted so much to do with the site, but have not really had the time. Especially of late. I work full time, have an amazing family that I love to care for, and am blissfully happy creating projects whenever I can. However, the time I need to devote to the site in order for it to be everything it needs to be is something I do not have right now, no matter how much I wish I did. That, and I really enjoy the creative process more than anything. Which is why I am totally thrilled to say that I will be staying on the Design Team! I will very much be a part of the team, just in a different role for awhile. But not too worry, I won't be far! I will still help Cindy out whenever she needs me too and will still be sponsoring some blog candy for a guest designer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for those that may have wondered what the heck had been going on lately...this is it. Cindy and I were sorting everything out and planning away. I am sorry if we momentarily left you in limbo &amp;amp; please forgive us! She has some great plans so everyone needs to stay tuned! WSB will be celebrating its first anniversary before too long and that itself is so exciting! So make sure you participate in the challenges for your opportunity to become one of our guest designers! And, make sure to apply for the DT as well! Change can be very exciting and right now is definitely a time for everyone to look forward to tomorrow! So it may be goodbye in one sense, but I am definitely saying hello in another!

Since it was pretty popular when we did it awhile back, we are going to do another color challenge! They are so much fun and I love seeing what each person comes up with each and every time we issue a new challenge!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like for you to create a layout, card or project of your choice using the chosen colors of green, sky blue, chocolate, pumpkin and white/cream. I just love all these colors together and think they are so bright and happy too! I do want to note that the inspiration for this color challenge came from &lt;a href="http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/2009/01/color-inspiration-37.html"&gt;kwernerdesignblog&lt;/a&gt;. There are always fabulous color challenges along with terrific project inspiration you can check out on the site!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, the project will be due Sunday, August 16th. I will post the projects that Monday, August 17th. We would love for everyone to play with us and see what you come up with! If you would like to be featured as a guest designer for WSB, just send us your interpretation of this challenge! Our guest designers will also be awarded with some yummy candy too for playing along! So, send us your creations at designteamcreations @ yahoo.com - can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Scrapping!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-1296878916894059518?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/1296878916894059518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=1296878916894059518' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/1296878916894059518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/1296878916894059518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2009/08/challenge-23-coloriffic.html' title='Challenge 23 - Coloriffic!'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vL3Q_RTNlNc/Snc_SG3HFaI/AAAAAAAAAz4/zHaBokfHmok/s72-c/Color+Inspiration.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-4240119732633448412</id><published>2009-08-03T12:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-10T08:28:52.506-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Challenge 22 Vintage Inspiration Projects</title><content type='html'>Well, it looks like this challenge did exactly that - it definitely challenged our Design Team! It was definitely one of the hardest challenges we have ever done here on WSB - (even I have struggled with it &amp;amp; am still struggling - hehehe) - but as usual the girls rocked it out! I always am amazed by how different everyone's projects are! How everyone's interpretation is different and how they make such beautiful creations that meet the challenge requirements and match their style!

Sorry everyone! I forgot to put our latest challenge up yesterday and completely apologize! Sometimes I don't know what I am thinking about! LoL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Challenge 22, we will be doing a project using a vintage ad for inspiration! I loved the look of this ad and thought we could get a variety of inspiration from it, be it the colors, the layout, the vintage feel, a family heirloom or heritage page...anything is possible! All you have to do is use your Cricut as much as you can to design a card, layout, or project - whatever your little heart wishes! And, if you would like, throw some embossing in there as well if you own a Cuttlebug!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deadline for this challenge will be Sunday, August 2nd. Wow, I can't believe it is August already! The summer sure is flying by! Before long, the WSB will be having its one year anniversary! We will definitely be having one heckuva blog party then!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure to leave a comment and show us some love if you like our projects and, we would love for you to play along with us! Simply email your interpretations of the challenge to us at designteamcreations @ yahoo.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Scrapping!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-5077911417662696799?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/5077911417662696799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=5077911417662696799' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/5077911417662696799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/5077911417662696799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2009/07/challenge-22-vintage-inspiration.html' title='Challenge 22 - Vintage Inspiration'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vL3Q_RTNlNc/SmY1wXEaESI/AAAAAAAAAvY/mocODeeUKPg/s72-c/p_VintageCovers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-4201131237508644835</id><published>2009-07-20T13:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-24T08:27:57.729-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Challenge 21 Projects!</title><content type='html'>Just like summer, these projects are HOT!

It can be any kind of animal you want it to be from any of the carts that allow this type of cut. You can make either a layout or a card with this project - it is totally up to you! Use your imagination and let's see some awesome creativity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This challenge will be due July 6th with the projects being posted on Tuesday, July 7th. We are taking an extra day for this challenge since the July 4th holiday will fall on that weekend as well. We want to make sure we get everyone's challenge in and that they still are able to enjoy the festivities that weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, we would love to hear from you! We would also love for you to play along with us too! If you would like to be a guest designer for WSB, then send us your interpretation of this layout!

Let's celebrate summer with a themed challenge! Not necessarily a summer themed challenge, but let's do an alphabet challenge. Using the letter "S" create a layout or card that uses that specific letter as a focal point! You can use any Cricut cartridge to cut the "S" just make sure that it is the main focus of the project. You can use it in your title, a name, a phrase, whatever your heart desires! If you want to make it summer related, no problem! Just don't feel that it has to be themed to this particular season. Just all the hot weather got me thinking and I didn't believe we had done an alphabet challenge in the past, so let's give it a whirl!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projects will be due in two weeks, on Sunday, June 21st. You may email the projects to us at designteamcreations @ yahoo.com. We are super excited to see what everyone comes up with, especially our newest DT members! Just remember to have fun and challenge yourselves! And, if you would like to play along with us, we would love to see your work. Simply email your completed project to us to earn a spot as an upcoming Guest Designer! Also, if you have a challenge idea you would like to share, email that to us as well! We would love to hear what everyone thinks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Scrapping!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-7660674989315054717?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/7660674989315054717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=7660674989315054717' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/7660674989315054717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/7660674989315054717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2009/06/challenge-19-alphabet-themed.html' title='Challenge 19 - Alphabet Themed'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vL3Q_RTNlNc/Si12B4sqLmI/AAAAAAAAAlM/p03urbWM3Pc/s72-c/Alphabet-Tree.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-5059346320620879437</id><published>2009-06-08T12:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T13:01:54.243-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Introducing.....</title><content type='html'>...the latest and greatest WSB DT members!

Below is a description of our challenge blog, the DT requirements, and submission guidelines. If you have any questions feel free to email us at designteamcreations@yahoo.com. If you are currently a DT member, you will be getting an email from us in the next few days about staying on with the DT! If you are a DT member who has not submitted for awhile, please feel free to apply for the current DT call!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Whimsical Scraps and Bugs DT Call&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Whimsical Scraps and Bugs is a challenge site built solely around the awesome love we have for our Cricuts! We are currently looking for 8 amazing crafters to join our DT team and create projects based on our bi-monthly challenges. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The requirements to become a DT member are that you must own a Cricut Personal Electronic Cutting Machine. As well, if you also own a Cuttlebug that would be beneficial as we may feature some embossing in our challenges from time to time, however if you do not own a Cuttlebug that is okay and please still apply! It is not a deal breaker! We do expect that those chosen for the DT participate in the challenges that are issued every two weeks and turn their projects in on time as well. We do understand that life does sometimes happen and you will be allowed to miss one project if something unexpected comes up during your DT term. Communication is key and we would like to have members who are actively involved on our site and spread the word about Whimsical Scraps and Bugs to other sites as well. The DT term will run for three months and you will be required to become a member of the Cricut Message Board if you are not already. This is a wonderful online forum and a great way to communicate with fellow Cricut crafters!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;To apply please email the following to designteamcreations@yahoo.com (subject DT CALL):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;* send 3 submissions of your best work – 1 must be a layout, 1 must be a card, &amp;amp; the 3rd is your choice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;* a link to your blog, if you have one, and any message boards you post on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;* list of any DTs you are currently on and as a list of your publications, if any. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;* list of all Cricut cartridges you own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;* a short paragraph about yourself – where you live, what you like to do for fun, how you became a crafter, just tell us a bit about yourself!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;While there is currently not any compensation for DT members, we do hope to bring on some sponsors in the coming months as well as award some prizes now and then! Also, international scrappers are welcome and encouraged to apply!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;All DT submissions must be turned in via email no later than Wednesday, May 27th at midnight. The new DT members will be announced on our blog June 1st! If you have any questions, please feel free to email those to designteamcreations@yahoo.com as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks so much ahead of time to everyone that chooses to apply for our DT call - we understand and appreciate all the hard work and dedication each and every one of you put into your projects!

Since National Scrapbooking Day is this weekend I would like to do something in honor of what has touched all our lives and brought so many of us together, forging new friendships and bonds that last a lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this challenge, please create a project (card, layout, altered item, etc.) that showcases why you scrap! It can be because of your family or friends, highlighting a photo of them; for creativity and stress relief, showing off a pic of your scrap space; or whatever else you come up with. Just show us why you do what you do and what inspires you to do it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only requirement here is to use your Cricut in the most creative way possible! Please take that extra step and really try to think outside the box or go outside your comfort zone by trying a new technique. There are so many wonderful inspirations out there. One of my fav ways to find something that moves me to create is to visit Google and search under the images feature. So many talented scrappers can be found and the inspiration is never ending!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So ladies, put on your thinking hats and craft your little hearts out! I can't wait to see all the amazing work I just know you are all going to come up with! Our usual deadline will apply, so plan on sending your projects in by Sunday, May 9th.  As always, we would love for everyone else to play along! Please send us your creation via email and maybe we can feature you along with our DT's projects!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Scrapping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;PS ~ It is almost that time again to find our next Design Team members!

It is time for another challenge and we are hoping you love this idea as much as Cindy and I do! Oh, and I am sorry for not posting this Tuesday - been pretty hectic for me at work so please forgive me!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this challenge we want you to create a layout &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ALL ABOUT YOU&lt;/span&gt;! Yes, just you - who you are, what you like, something special or unique - whatever you want others to know about you. This is a great project - especially for others to remember us by, like our children. So often we scrap everyone around us and everything that makes them unique, but we don't take the time to scrap another important memory - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;OURSELVES&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you need inspiration, take a peek &lt;a href="http://ilovedirtylaundry.blogspot.com/2009/03/for-real.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This is Beth Perry's blog and she is one &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;awesome&lt;/span&gt; chick! This layout completely moved me and I love so many things about it - the colors, the idea behind it, the way she thought outside the box, it's vintage look - everything about it rocks and I hope you like it too. Make sure to check out the rest of her blog when you have time, too. Everything she does is simply awe inspiring! There are so many inspiring ideas out there, but I just wanted to give at least one great example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only requirements for this challenge are that you use your Cricut as much as possible. As always, give us your best creative effort. This is one memory that others will enjoy seeing when it is done. And think, when you look back on it five years from now, you will enjoy remembering what life was like at that very moment for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will be keeping the same normal due dates for our projects, so just make sure it is in no later than Sunday evening, April 12. I am so excited about this challenge and hope you are too. I can't wait to get started on it! And, we would love to see what others come up with for this challenge too! So play along with us if you would like and email your finished layouts to designteamcreations@yahoo.com!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Scrapping!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-3916549915786164645?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/3916549915786164645/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=3916549915786164645' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/3916549915786164645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/3916549915786164645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2009/04/challenge-14.html' title='Challenge 14'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-3476520839709608996</id><published>2009-03-30T12:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T12:39:58.248-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Challenge 13 Projects!</title><content type='html'>Well, Spring is in the air and it definitely shows in the work of our DT's latest projects! Everyone did a wonderful job and I love all the creativity that went into creating so many different types of projects ~ from signs to wall hangings to mini albums! I feel like I just can't ever say enough about how wonderful the DT Ladies truly are!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will say that there are only one or two photos for each project in this post. However, I would encourage every one of you to visit their individual blogs (click their names to go to their blogs!) to see ALL the photos for their projects. Some of the awesome creations have multiple pages and pics, so make sure to take a look the details of each one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And stay tuned for our next challenge - it's a doozy and I will get it posted tomorrow. Cindy and I are again looking forward to another exciting DT challenge!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vL3Q_RTNlNc/SdEbFvY5h5I/AAAAAAAAATM/ClGoWndS2_w/s1600-h/Kathrin%27s-Challenge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Time to take on another challenge and put all of your amazing talents to good use. This time, we have an EASTER theme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Easter right around the corner, Cindy and I thought this would be a great project for the DT. Some of you will remember the altered flashcard minibook we had you do for Christmas. Well, whip out those leftover flashcards because we are gonna alter them again!&lt;br /&gt;For this challenge we would like you to alter the flashcards (if you don't have any laying around, you can pick them up at your local dollar store for about a buck) in an Easter theme. However, you don't have to make a minibook. You can use the Easter-altered flashcards however you like!  Just use at least THREE to FIVE flashcards in your design. Use your creativity - we want to see you SHINE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure to use your Cricuts and have FUN! We will be going back to our regular schedule so these won't be due until March 27rh. So have fun with this challenge and start looking forward to our next challenge too! Cindy and I have already talked and decided Challenge 14 - I think it just might be our best yet!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Crafting!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-1939424270058670634?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/1939424270058670634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=1939424270058670634' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/1939424270058670634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/1939424270058670634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2009/03/challenge-13.html' title='Challenge 13'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-3245868654007653751</id><published>2009-03-16T14:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T12:38:48.880-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Challenge 12 Projects</title><content type='html'>We are definitely LUCKY to have so many wonderful DT members!

What an awesome job everyone did on Challenge 11! I am so proud of all the magnificent creativity we have on this board!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cindy and I would like you to create a St. Patty's Day card for Challenge 12! The real challenge (well, maybe - LOL) will be that you will only have ONE WEEK to complete it. Since St. Patty's Day is Tuesday, March 17th, one week from tomorrow, we will expect all challenge entries to be turned in no later than Sunday, March 16th by 6 p.m. That will give us time to get them posted by Monday morning and give everyone some inspiring card ideas just in time for the green holiday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only thing you really have to do for this challenge is use your Cricut! We would love to see some funky and not so typical St. Patty's Day cards, too. Whatever you would like to do is fine; let your creativity shine through! Oh, and since green is also my fav color, please make sure to use at least one shade of green somewhere on your card!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it ladies! Have fun creating - we are so excited to see what you come up with! And, we would love for everyone else to play along too! So, if you check out our blog - come play with us!

We will be altering a barn star! The inspiration for this challenge comes from a scrapbooking magazine I read awhile back and for further inspiration, visit this link, &lt;a href="http://because-estee-says-so.blogspot.com/2008/07/altered-barn-star-x-2.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://because-estee-says-so.blogspot.com/2008/07/altered-barn-star-x-2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I absolutely love this idea and think that we can all have fun with it. I know that some may not have access to a metal barn star, but we can definitely come up with some alternatives because we want everyone to participate and have a blast! Any size barn star will do, but large or medium ones are probably easier to work with. If you can't get access to a metal one, a paper mache or wooden one from a craft store will do just fine. Or, you can even create a cut file on DS, too. That would provide even more of a challenge!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can alter the star using any cartridges you would like, but let's keep a Christmas theme. These would make wonderful gifts for family or friends too. Also, make sure you incorporate some photos into the design as well. Some are strictly for home decor purposes, but we want ours to multi-task as home decor and scrapbooking works of art!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any questions, feel free to either email or pm Cindy or I at any time. As well, if you would like more inspiration, simply type "altered barn star" into Google and click on images at the top. It pulls up quite a few ideas that everyone should find inspirational!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Scrapping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*ps....  these are due two weeks from today....  that will be December 2nd...........  : )&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-7316922549212618319?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/7316922549212618319/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=7316922549212618319' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/7316922549212618319'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/7316922549212618319'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2008/11/challenge-4.html' title='Challenge #4'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-2915152991352237508</id><published>2008-11-18T14:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-18T14:15:02.445-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Challenge Is On Its Way!</title><content type='html'>The completed challenges for #3 are rolling in and they all look fabulous ladies!

I hope this finds each of you anxiously awaiting the third challenge!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been pondering for weeks now exactly what I wanted this challenge to be.... it's been an interesting thought process to say the least! LOL I have searched tons of web-sites for ideas... and I have found so many things that I just adore... but I was really looking for something "different" that we could challenge you with... it's not a difficult challenge at all... and I'm hoping that you'll really enjoy doing this! I'm excited about seeing what each of you will do with this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's going to be a Christmas project of course... using whatever colors you want to use because I know that not everybody does the "red &amp;amp; green" traditional Christmas colors! LOL So here's where it's going to get a little "different"..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We are going to make Mini Christmas Albums using Jumbo Playing Cards!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264888077614992482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 109px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 117px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qEdXTBvB-y0/SRCjz-BuTGI/AAAAAAAAADc/gNnRxt4rJiA/s400/card+album.jpg" border="0" /&gt; You can get these for a very low price at just about anywhere you can buy playing cards at. You can use whatever colors you like as I mentioned earlier... HOWEVER you will need to use either Christmas Cheer... Joys of the Season... or PDDU carts for any Christmas cuts to put on the "pages" of this album (or any other carts you have that you can get Christmas cuts from). I seen this on another site (the credit goes to Patter Cross) and I absolutely fell in love with this idea! Here's the site if you want "directions" to get you started... &lt;a href="http://www.scrapjazz.com/topics/Techniques/Altered_Art/1394.php"&gt;http://www.scrapjazz.com/topics/Techniques/Altered_Art/1394.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't have to use the whole deck.... that would take way more than two weeks to do (unless you work all night and all day for several days straight! LOL) but I do want to see atleast 12 "pages" or more... these can be "bound" with a jump-ring... with ribbon... or any other way. I know what you are thinking... 12 pages?! Is she nuts?!..... no... I'm not nuts.... you just have to remember that these are a lot smaller than what you are used to doing and so 12 "pages" for this challenge won't be too hard! ; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so here's the basic run-down of what you need to do....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Purchase a deck of Jumbo Playing Cards (unless you have a stash somewhere that's missing a few cards!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Alter atleast 12 cards to make a mini Christmas album&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Use cuts from PDDU... CC... JOTS... or any other cart with Christmas cuts on it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Bind your mini-album using a jump-ring... ribbon... or whatever else you have to use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. BLING!!! BLING!!! BLING!!! I want to see B*L*I*N*G&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Use brads... eyelets.... anything and everything!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Use any colors you choose&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think these would make adorable Christmas gifts! They are so inexpensive too! : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These will be due on November 18th (or before!).

I just wanted to say, "Congrats!," to all of our wonderful Design Team members! Cindy and I can't wait to see what you come up with for the challenges. We will look forward to seeing your work....and being able to ooohhh and aaahhh over it, too! There were so many wonderful submissions - we hope that no one was discouraged and make sure to try again in two months when we pick the next design team. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Personally, I am very excited to be part of this blog and am so glad Cindy asked me to participate. I absolutely adore my Cricut and it has brought me so many new friends! She is a wonderful person and a gifted crafter as well! Can't wait to see her challenge concept, too! Me, I do have my challenge finished and should be posting it tomorrow. I am very nervous but hopefully y'all won't be too harsh on me! :) This has been very helpful in helping me to think outside of the box and try to use new techniques or products in ways I hadn't before. I hope it helps you in the same way, too!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Happy Scrappin'!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;~ Crystal, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;aka Mrs. B.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8723279964899035881-4024451505492886406?l=whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/feeds/4024451505492886406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8723279964899035881&amp;postID=4024451505492886406' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/4024451505492886406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8723279964899035881/posts/default/4024451505492886406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whimsicalscrapsandbugs.blogspot.com/2008/10/welcome-design-team-members.html' title='Welcome Design Team Members!'/><author><name>Crystal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwfRGHjnKjs/Tkapyp-fmPI/AAAAAAAACJI/v5_AyDMkf_8/s220/PICNIK%2Bresized%2BCrystal%2BBeshear%2B2011.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723279964899035881.post-8528801480557704791</id><published>2008-10-06T17:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T17:34:29.674-07:00</updated><title type='text'>** Personal Blogs **</title><content type='html'>For your viewing pleasure...  we have linked each Design Team Members personal blog to the Design Team's blog!

If you are not selected this time around..... &lt;strong&gt;PLEASE&lt;/strong&gt; do not be discouraged...... we are only having 10 team members at a time.... and we will be opening spots every two months.... so you can always re-submit your work and try again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have decided that I need a co-host to help keep me straight!
