Hello Peeps - hope you are all recovered from Easter and ready to face the rest of the year? 

Our current challenge is

#67: To 'die' for.......   

TWIST  add a bird or two or three....

We have some lovely entries for this challenge and people are all so clever

However, three people did not carefully read the rules

Well, that being out of the way, here are a few inspirational things to get you going....

Firstly, there is a random prize draw

 Two small die sets

IO Dies - Bunnies 

AND

Cheery Lyn Dies - chicks

Then there is the work of the wonderful, magical DT

March Winners and using Dies for a new challenge

Well, we had some lovely work presented for March - but still one crafted used a stamp. Please,

DO NOT USE STAMPS FOR THIS CHALLENGE.

All the work submitted was lovely and all deserved to be in the draw to win the random number draw but unfortunately that could not be the case for one lovely crafter.

However, the winner of that random draw for the March Challenge: #66 Punctuate

Number 10 Sheetal

Graphic 45 Recycled box

Always, we like to acknowledge the wonderful work of an individual which has appealed the most to the DT - remembering that we all like different things in our crafting. This month that person is:

N0 6: Judy

What a gorgeous, fun page.

The latest challenge for April is of course running now and is based around

To 'die' for.......   

TWIST  add a bird or two or three....

Yes, there is a Prize - two small die sets

IO Dies - Bunnies 

AND

Cheery Lyn Dies - chicks

If you look at the inspiration this week you will see that I used the CL chicks in my project - not from the prize packet but from a set I purchased for myself as I thought they were so cute!

Susan

A box of chocolate!

and not one but three from 

Dale

So I decided to make 3 cards this month.

See my blog post for more details on each one.

Looking forward to seeing what you can create with all your dies

April.......how did it get here so fast?

Well, April has snuck in and our clocks got turned forward on Saturday night (meaning I got an extra hour of sleep this morning) although if you are reading this in the northern hemisphere, your just turning into Spring!

So, the Challenge #67 is 

To 'die' for.......   

TWIST  add a bird or two or three....

Prize - two small ones

IO Dies - Bunnies 

AND

Cheery Lyn Dies - chicks

Easter is just around the corner for us all - lot's of scope there for projects with no stamps - and for those in Australia and New Zealand, we have ANZAC Day on the 25th. Just remember please no stamps to be used. Every month we have to disappoint some lovely crafter who has not read the rules.

Before we begin this month it would be remiss of me not to say to all those people in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales suffering from the flooding as an aftermath of Cyclone Debbie, and those who were battered around by the winds when she made land last week - my thoughts are with you all; stay safe, dry and stay positive.

There is also some inspiration to help you get started on your April project - please remember NO STAMPS are allowed:

The birds (swans) are part of the die cut border.

Before we leave...........

Our photo this week was taken by Greg Faull on his morning walk around Hobart last week

It is of the boat sheds at Cornelian Bay

This bay is directly opposite my house on the western side of the Derwent River

Greg says: Some of the most tightly held properties in Tasmania are not in an upmarket area or come with a million-dollar price tag - in fact, they are not even houses. The Cornelian Bay boatsheds have been a popular waterside feature for about a century and are some of the most hotly contested real estate going.

The first boatsheds were built in the late 1890s. Most of the 33 sheds were built between 1920 and 1930. 

People can stay there during the day but are not allowed to live in them, although overnight stays occasionally are permitted. They are subject to Heritage Guidelines re building and maintenance and they sell for over $A250,000 when and if they come onto the market......

Cute, eh....
