Some News and Time for another challenge with the Creative Cutter Room!

Ready for another super fun challenge at the Creative Cutter Room?

We have a Fun challenge for you today!

The Challenge: Create A new project with the theme Family Round Up! (Family Reunion Challenge)

This challenge is open to your own interpretation but must be a new project related to the theme!

When I was growing up every year we had a huge family reunion, my grandparents rented a hall and it was catered, I remember running around like crazy with all my Cousins!

But now I live far away from my Family in New York and it is just my little Family here in Arizona, so when I think of Family Round Up I think of Family Barbeques!

You may not know this about me but I am the BBQ Queen in our house! That's right I do all the BBQ Cooking! It really is a must in Arizona, the last thing you want is to be turning on the oven when it is already 100+ degrees out!

So for this challenge I made this super fun 8X8 BBQ Scrapbook to record some of our fun family BBQ Memories in:

Check out this super quick video to see all the pages!

 

I am really looking forward to seeing your project! So be sure to:

Link your project over at the Creative Cutter Room to be entered to win a prize! 

And the prize is..

 Cool Cricut Markers!

You have until July 13, 2011 to enter your project.
Please drop by the Design Team for inspiration!

It is time for another great challenge over at the BBTB2!

This week Susan from Busy With Cricky has selected the  SUNNY DAYS cut from Cricut Lite - Celebrate with Flourish. But you can use any words from any cartridge to say Sunny Days!
