Today's Bitten By The Bug 2 challenge is to cut a box or bag out using the Cricut and decorate it in a masculine way. I used the Wrap it Up and Artiste cartridges. I kind of wrestled with the design, but finally came up with this project. I was happy that I finally got to use my Sail Away stamp set that coordinates with the Artiste cartridge. I just love the nautical theme!
