Cuttlebug Challenge Blog

Make sure to leave yourself a bit of time when you plan to visit the site. There are multiple projects, lots of instructions, archived goodies and all-around fabulous stuff. I got lost for over an hour viewing spectacular items such as garden sets, gift boxes full of chocolate, Happy Birthday banners, and a variety of decorations to jazz up the buffet table at any party. Why rely on the pricey party store décor, when you can make your own based upon the team’s inventive ideas? They take card-making and altered projects to a whole new level.

Speaking of upper level work, feast your eyes on these adorable projects for the little ones or girls in your lives. You may never buy another store-bought card or gift again. Behold the eye-candy that follows.
