So as not to disappoint I have actually been CRAFTING - yes pick yourself up off the floor.
To be honest I succumbed to yet another magazine with yet another freebie bird die!
A Flamingo which you can change into a Swan - how cool is that?
Here's the sheet of all my bird dies, and I also got some glitter paper at the supermarket and cut more birds out
Only made up two cards so far.
I have also been scrapping.
Bit of a spelling mistake
and my son's birthday.
Check the links for more detail!
Happy WOYWW everyone
What an ingenious die the flamingo one is. Now I think I want one of those! Also, two lovely cards using that die which are quite appropriate for so many occasions. Brill!

Hi BJ - yes these days it does seem something of a novelty to find time to craft!! I have bravely resisted that die, but I bet someone asks me for a flamingo very soon!! I did go for the embossing folder and rose stamp on the other mag, simply cards & Papercrafts though!! (and for once I have used it).
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, Cindy x
I love that you have two birds in one! Have fun creating with that! Happy woyww and a hug from Holland! Marit #26
ReplyDeleteHi BJ, what great value, a double use die. I shall be looking for this one too! lol. Your spelling mistake did make me laugh- almost every time I type the word, I find I've typed 'Christams' instead! And I don't always spot it, either! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #3 xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's a great die. I love how it can change into swans. Looks like your son had a great birthday.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Love your flamingos, BJ, they're great. Your scrapbook pages are beautiful too, I was just saying today that I need to do some more scrapbooking.

Ohh - I never thought of using that die for swans - I will have to go back to the supermarket and buy it now before they all sell out!! Great idea for the anniversary cards.

Cheering from the floor! BJ did crafting... seriously, I love the flamingo/swan - how clever.thanks for stopping by (you can imagine how much less space there is than when you came!!) Helen #1
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards! I saw that magazine with the flamingo die but wasn't quite sure what I'd do with it. You did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

I have to admit that I have bought that die too. I saw it and rememberd that I have a stamp with flamingos on so that seemed a good reason to get it. Happy crafty woyww, Angela x 16

I am so very impressed that you altered the flamingo into a swan ( that is very cool ) :) ~Stacy #48
ReplyDeleteLovely cards BJ. Also have to say the the peacock one you used on card you sent is fab. Thanks for popping by. Anne x #24
ReplyDeleteOh BJ, I resisted that magazine because I thought I would not have any use for a flamingo die, but I think perhaps a swan might just be essential.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my page and your comment!!!

Hi BJ
ReplyDeleteSorry, I tried to email you, but it kept bouncing back so I'll reply on here if that's ok. Thanks for your lovely comments. The initials I get using WORD. I just find a font I like and then resize to fit in the frame I have, print it and then trace onto some card.
I hope that helps.
Hugs Lisa xx
Great to see you being creative and wow how clever, that die is amazing. Love the layouts, they are gorgeous. I'm late visiting this week lol. Happy Woyww :-) Kezzy xxx
ReplyDeleteHi BJ First I love the cards you've made with that "pretty flamingo". I have the same die but haven't used it yet. Your scrap layouts are looking really good too. Barbx #26
ReplyDeleteHello BJ. I love the die you received in the magazine I am hoping it will come to Canada soon so I might pick it up too, the ways you have used it has inspired me. Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great week. Hugs~Anne L#12
