#349 This Makes Me Happy

  Here is my take on the theme this time at  Cut It Up Challenge. Our theme is "This Makes Me Happy" Please enter your makes here.

I used this oh, so cute hummingbird die. It makes me happy as we have such happy memories of staying in a Bed & Breakfast in El Portal Yosemite with Liz & Ron. It was the Blue Butterfly Inn. Their balcony had bird feeders and were always full of these sweet birds. We don't have them in the Uk, so are utterly fascinated by them.

I used frame dies, a word die and a lovely BG paper with gems.
