BBTB2: Cricut - Grandma's in the Kitchen

 Our Bitten by the Bug2 Challenge for the next two weeks is "Bon Appetite".   Any card, layout, project relating to food can be submitted to the challenge.  HERE is the link.  You have until February 28th to add your project.

I came up with a project that looks so simple, but the first try got messed up big time.  Another style of pot holder was used with these images.  The inside pocket of the potholder melted to the other side!! And the lettering didn't want to stick.  I kind of salvaged them, but guess I am going to use that pair.  This pair turned out much better.  I turned down the iron a bit and used a thinner pressing mat.  This canvas material I thought would be easy to work with, but my advice is to iron slowly.  You can always add more heat and pressure, but once the vinyl is melted, there is no going back.

BBTB2: Cricut - Valentines Day Sweets for my Sweethearts

With Valentines Day right around the corner, this year I am getting my little presents done ahead of time.  I made up some cute goodie bags for my grandkids and a friend.  The "Owl Be Yours Valentine's Party Set" in Cricut Design Space has just a few of the cutest Valentine's images.   I quickly picked these set of tags and had them cut, assembled, and the bags stuffed with candy and tied in less than an hour.  

Our Cricut challenge at Bitten by the Bug2 for the next two weeks is "Valentine's Day or Hearts".  You can link up your own project to the blog and take a look at what our Designers are showing off.  Link up your project until February 14th at Bitten by the Bug2 HERE:
