BBTB challenge - Mini album and gift card holder using SHORTCUTS!


It's Sunday night and time to reveal a new challenge for Bitten By The Bug! This week is really special, cause we're sponsored by the fabulous Shortcuts! If you haven't tried anything from them yet, you're in for a treat! The acetate is really awesome (better than any other I've had) and I am in LOVE with their gift card holders!! They're soooo easy to decorate! This week, they sent us a package of various items and a sketch. I decided to make a mini album out of the sketch. The challenge from Bitten By The Bug was to use the sketch and that cute, ever infamous flower from George. I LOVE this flower!!



If anyone has a lot of experience working with acetate, and knows how to get a smudge (I'm assuming from adhesive) off the acetate, would you please let me know? There's a smudge on the front of the album and it's driving me crazy. I've used my adhesive remover, a baby wipe, and I don't know what else. But I can't get it clean. Help! Someone? Anyone? :) OMGoodness...have you ever tried to overcomplicate something? THANK YOU JEANNIE!! I have a bottle of undu, used it and that ugly old smudge is now history! YAY!!!! THANK YOU!!!


I used Shabby Chic Tilda, Shabby Chic fence, and Little Birds stamps colored with my Copic markers. Please be sure and visit Magnolia-licious for the largest on line selection of Magnolia stamps in North America! She has great prices on her stamps and shipping is only 2.50 for orders up to 50.00, and free beyond that!



The flowers are of course from my George cartridge, and the swirls are a Sizzix die.
Papers are from Doodlebug, Scenic Route, and Core'dinations. I also used my Nesties on the gift card holder. (it's a Christmas themed gift card from Starbucks, but that's all I had right now) LOL!



That's it for today. Please don't forget to visit Shortcuts and try their products! I love them!! Pop over to Bitten By The Bug to check out what the rest of the fabulously talented design team has come up with for this challenge. I guarantee they're AMAZING!! Then grab your paper and glue, and join in on the challenge. Maybe you'll win a gift certificate to Shortcuts!
