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!

I LOVE YOUR WORK....THIS IS SUCH A NIC MASCULINE ITEM. GREAT JOB AND THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY.
Love the box! My Husband is retired Coast Guard. It would be so cool to put a gift for him in something like that. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the chance to win such a beautiful cartridge.
Yea! A manly project. Thanks. You use the Artiste cartridge a lot, so I just might have to get it, too.
We seldom think of little boxes or bags for guys, so this is great inspiration! My husband loves dark chocolate almost as much as I do, so I could see giving him a little gift of chocolate in a box like this.
This, my friend, is so darned awesome!!! I absolutely LOVE this box, the colors, the ribbon, the cuts, the flags... Absolute perfection!!! You rock, baby!
