I have so many cut files to use with my cutting machines and have now started collecting metal dies and I am just not using them. I would love to use these tools more and think a monthly challenge would be a great way to do it. Is there anyone who would find this helpful? I was thinking of making a small list of items/themes then you can post you projects using them for the month. If there is interest I would be happy to post one monthly. If you have an idea for the challenge other than the list let me know as well.

I use my Cameo almost every time I scrap and sometimes wonder what I ever did before I had it! Other challenge ideas aside from items/themes could be: - use a die cut title, or as part of a title
- use a die cut border or frame
- use a die cut that incorporates a particular shape (circles, stars, hearts, gears, etc.)
- use an animal or bird die cut shape

I only gave a big shot, no electronic cutter but I would try to play along. Anything that gets me thinking about a new page is great!
