Creative Cutter Design Team Love Bug Challenge


Good morning Friends,

I wanted to share my first project as a Creative Cutter Design Team Member.
Our challenge theme is Love Bug. Here is a view of my entire layout.




I created these adorable “Love Bug” bears for this layout.

Here is a close up of the boy bear love bug.

Here is a close up of the little girl bear love bug.
I added some stickled swirls to their wings and their hearts.

Here is a close up shot of the border and title.
  • I inked the hearts and added some more stickles to the letters. 
  • I used pop dots to add dimension.
  • I also “Faux” stitched a white zig zag stitch on the blue border.
  • I did also add some wire swirls and tiny foam hearts. I wrote “My Sweet” in the middle of the tiny pink heart with my fuchsia fine tip sharpie.
  • I used and EK Success border punch for the white heart and swirl punch.
So now you need to join us in this fun challenge. Just head over to the Creative Cutter Room and enter your project. Be sure to head over as well and take a look at what the other Design Team Members did. Some beautiful stuff!

  38. Melinda:
    Absolutely love it!!! They are adorable...One of the things I miss most about FL is the scrapbooking talent!! and by that I definetly mean your classes and kits! As I continue to unpack scrapbooking bins I am always smiling when I find another kit I bought but didn't have time to do. Recently I completed a ZOO one that everyone who has seen it here in Texas loves it! I am sending them all to your website.
    Love ya, Leila
