Cuttlebug and Punches - Be inspired # 23

Good Morning Everyone:

We are so excited to bring to you the challenge of using your punches and the Cuttlebug in other ways than it was intended.

Our Design Team came up with some really fun, fun ways to use the punches. From using a scallop punch to create an owl like Eva's, to making waves, creating flowers, butterflies using punches and making a teddy bear using a circle punch. If you are like me and have tons of punches, let's get them out again and have fun creating.

Your challenge this week is to create using punches in unusual ways, and your Cuttlebug off course :)!

This week's challenge is brought to you by the talented Shealynn Benner. She creates the most Amazing Camera straps! You've probably seen her work on popular sites such as Ali Edwards and Liz, SOY winner of 2007 by Creating Keepsake Magazine.

Here's a bit about Shealynn

Shealynn is a photographer from Arizona. While doing a photo shoot the idea came to her - camera strap covers that slip onto your strap for a more comfortable fit and that easily slide off to change the look. Says Shealynn, "We all love our cameras, so why not 'dress them up'."

We will be giving 1 camera strap away the following Thursday, but there is a twist.
We are asking our readers to vote for a winner by selecting a favorite from Our post on Thursday.

Be sure to enter the challenge!

Runner up winner will a set of Sizzix dies :)

Here are our Design Team's wonderful inspirations!

Danni has a wonderful tutorial on her blog with step by step instructions on how to recreate her card. Butterfly Instructions
