I am happy to announce that I am now a member of the WONDERFUL Bitten By the Bug 2 blog! This blog has been a cricut institution for years and I was very honored to be asked to join in on the fun. As such, Mondays will now be my Bitten By the Bug post, so my giveaway winners post will be moved to Tuesdays. That means this week you have one more day to get in on the drawing.
Today's challenge was to make a purple birthday project, so this is what I came up with. I used the Summer Celebrations cartridge. A lot of people do not like purple, but I do not understand this as I love the color purple!
