March Anything Goes!

 Welcome back to A Cut Above's March Challenge.

 I hope you'll join us and please share our blog with other crafters!
 
Before we move on to the March Challenge, I would like to introduce a new Creative Team member, Lori Turner.   A previous CT member, Marie, had to step down and Lori has graciously joined the team.  Thank you, Marie and we wish you well.  Welcome Lori, we are delighted to have you on the team.  
 
 
Hi there!  I reside in rural central Alberta, Canada and I'm the Office Manager/AP Lead for a civil construction company.  I love all things coffee, am a color-addicted crocheter, paper crafter and a blessed Gramma to two beautiful grand kids.  I love to walk, hike in the mountains when I get the chance and enjoy spending time with my friends and family - but also enjoy my alone time in my crafty space :)  I have been a paper crafter for approximately 20 years and I really enjoy being on design teams and working with groups to share and get creative with!  Cheers!
 
Now, on to the March Challenge...

We had many wonderful entries for the February Challenge, so thanks to all that played along.  It's truly amazing the number of die cuts available to crafters everywhere and how everyone uses them.  All craft projects that include at least one die cut are welcome.  Check out the guidelines for definition of a die cut and prize eligibility.  If you missed the February challenge winner, you will find it HERE.
 
The March Challenge is once again, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" according to the challenge guidelines found at the top of the blog.  All challenges at A Cut Above begin on the first Monday of the month and end on the 28th with winner announced on the 30th.  One randomly chosen winner receives a $5 GC to A Cherry On Top Craft Store.
 
The Creative Team along with our March Guest Designer are sharing spectacular inspiration for you this month.  You'll find the link to their personal social media sites by clicking on their names.  Please stop by and share some love.
 
 




We hope the Creative Team has inspired you create something pretty!
