CUTE AS A BUG CHALLENGE ENTRY by Jean

Well... I thought Jean over at JEANSCRAFTYCORNER was just too clever with this layout.. and the saying...adorable Jean! I'm really loving that font too!. Here is what she had to say about this great layout! "For this layout, the border around the page and picture area is punched with the Martha Stewart Ladybug around the page punch. (I have wanted this punch for a while, but haven't been able to find it. ScrappinGwen on the Cricut Messageboard punched these and sent them to me in a swap, so thank you to her) I used Create a Critter for the ladybug and the grass. I then inked the edges of the grass with cat's eye dark green ink. Finally, I used Once Upon a Princess for the font to cut my title"

CHALLENGE PAGE by Kate

Here is a beautiful page sent in by Kate of smallbitsofpaper . Please check by her site to get the sweet story that goes with it. I just love the soft colors and placement of all the embellies on this page. They really bring out the focal point of this page which is the sweet picture of her and her daddy, which is a treasure..thanks for sharing Kate!

Kate has asked to stay out of the challenge. This is what she had to say
"Although I love to win and really, really do appreciate the wonderful prizes that you've blessed me with, I have won a couple of bigger items in the last few months and want to make sure the joy of winning is shared with other followers of your blog....."

PAGE by KEL

Here's a quick page I put together. I had all the elements in stash. I used a MS corner punch on velum to make that little strip to fill in some space under the picture. I used some felt precut snowflakes on the right and I punched out little flower punches by Fiskar and added a spot of stickles to make them more "snowlike" I inked the velum strip with Quick Quotes Marachino Cherry and I inked the left side with a snowflake punch from SU The word SNOW is all stickers I had hanging around. I really like the memory of this pic and I really wanted to get it on a page and it was fun just opening up drawers and seeing what I could roundup for this!
