Its the start of a new challenge today over at Natalie & Amy's & WOW you want to see what fab prize is up for grabs this month!!! Details will be at the bottom of my post or you can pop over here & have a look!

This month the theme is

DIE CUTS!!

now I know 99.9% of you use die cuts of some form or another whether they are Spellbinders, Marianne D, Memory Box or Nellie Snellen! It doesn't matter what the make is as long as we can see where you have used your die cuts!

I made this card when I was on my crafty break last October & had forgot to post it, so I thought this was the perfect time to show you!


I just love these little cuties, still haven't used the other ones I've got oops!
I decided to pop Flora onto this gorgeous die cut & make a kinda swing for her to sit on!
