Special Cut

Hello, it's Monday again, it comes round so quickly. Well all our white stuff has gone with all the rain, I'm so glad, but I do love the snow its the ice that I hate.  I hope you’re all OK and have had a lovely weekend.
It is time for another theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge, this time it was Our lovely America's turn to choose the theme and she chose "Anything Goes With A Special Cut" - So that is Die cuts, special cuts or even like me hair cuts.............. As soon as I saw the theme I knew which stamp I had to use, it is a new stamp I haven't used yet, HMJR1041 Buzz cut.  This stamp has special meaning to me as it reminds me of an incident when my nephews cut my sons hair off  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
