Welcome to theCuttlebug
Blog.We are excited you have stopped by to visit. So relax, kick off your shoes and enjoy your stay here. We
have decided to dedicate this site to beginners! (Seasoned Veterans welcome too!) As I am a beginner Cuttlebug'er
I have looked around other blogs and get kind of discouraged by all the very
advanced (and fabulous) designs. So I thought to myself, beginners need a
place to feel welcome, make mistakes (as I am sure I will ;) and grow with
creativity! So lets join together andCreate, Inspire
, Teach, Grow!

Crystal...Congrats!! Please send me your mailing addy and I will give it to Crazy Scraps!!
Hey everyone! How is your summer so far? Has it been hot where you are? I know I promised that I would be here even though I was going on vacation, but on the 4th of July a tragic accident encompassed my family. My mom was in an accident with severe head injuries and later passed away from them. My mom would have been 49 on the 17th of July. She was my best friend and I will miss her immensely.
I want to take this moment to thank Lynne for jumping right in and taking over for me to keep you all company while I was away. She has done an awesome job and I will think of something great to repay her! I think you all could help by giving her a shout out "thank you" message. Although I am not home yet, I plan to be soon and taking over my responsibilities. However, Lynne will still be here to keep you all company until I can return home. And I hope that she will be willing to continue to post for us regularly in the future...
Thank you all for being here and playing with us. And thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.
Happy Tuesday to all our Cuttlebug Friends!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Although the weather was extremely hot this past weekend (we were over 100 degrees with the heat index I guess), my family enjoyed some time outside! To me, the best part about summer is spending time with my kids! So for today's giveaway---what is your favorite thing about summer??
I will leave this contest open through Thursday and the winner will be announced Friday!

Hello Crafty Cuttlebug Friends! Lynne here--I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July...enjoying some picnics and maybe some fireworks!! Did you do anything crafty?? I sure hope so!

I used my Storybook cart for the marquee--sew american paper cut at 11 1/2 inches and the white was cut at 8 inches. FUN was cut with the Mickey Font at 2 inches...Check out my blog for more info on the project: http://www.scrapthiscraftthat.blogspot.com/ Thanks!!!
RECIPE: Cuttlebug embossing folder= Herringbone/ Cuttlebug die 2x2= Circle Frames/ patterned paper= Doodlebug ( Sew American Stripes)/ velvet paper= Doodlebug ( Crushed Velvet Blue Jean/ red brads= Doodlebug ( Lady Bug).

Every year for 4th of July we have a breakfast, parade, then scrapping the rest of the day get together!
