Celebrate DT Post LM 590

 

Morning all

I should have posted this one last night to coincide with your Sunday, Its Monday morning here in Australia.

The sounds of cars are penetrating the usual silence in the street with parents dropping their children at school. Lovely cool morning with clear blue skies , first load of washing in the machine ,a slight breeze so it will dry quickly.

This month at Lasting Memories we are stash Busting , the theme this week is use either your punches or dye cuts, if you don't have either of these use some Ephemera . I used my Daisy Border punch , it was one of my first Border punches I purchased when i started scrapbooking. I used it quite often at least 4 times a month , th other is a Botanical dye, not so often.

This week with a swap group I belong to we where asked to swap our 10 favourite dye cuts, so thought as I work through the week I would cut an extra one for the swap. I was totally surprised as to how many I use not just on my card making but also on my scrapbooking.
