About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

WOYWW #358 - More Bird Dies!

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!
Hugs & Thanks for visiting me whilst I was out.

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).
Happy WOYWW, Cindy x

Hi 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

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.

Very 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.

Have 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

Anne said...

Lovely 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

Mrs.D said...

Oh 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.
Thanks for visiting my page and your comment!!!

Hi BJ
Sorry, 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
