Today's Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge is called Come and Get It Summer Foods! I cannot think of summer foods with out craving watermelon! That being the case, I had to find a great watermelon cut. The best way to do this is use the search function in the Cricut Craft Room. There were several to choose from, but I chose the melon slice from Simply Charmed.
Since I am on that cuttlebug embossing kick, I wanted to use a folder that had the look of a picnic blanket or outdoor table cloth. The Wicker Weave folder was exactly was I was looking for!
