#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.

  5. This is absolutely lovely! The hummingbird is so sweet and colorful—and I love that it carries such a special memory with it. What a beautiful way to capture the joy of your time at the Blue Butterfly Inn. The layering with the frame and word dies really makes the whole design pop, and those little gems are the perfect finishing touch. Just delightful!
