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 #404 - More Presents


My desk - as is - Tuesday evening before badminton!

I made four cards from the TH multi media dies from last week, then a journal page on the same theme.

I finally did the 8x8 scrapbook page of my pregnancy, to back my wedding page as our only son was a honeymoon surprise!

The BIG Pink Envelope is from my 19th Anniversary Card yesterday (gosh February was a busy month).

As for the "More Presents" a friend took me on a Magical Mystery Tour  to Hobbycraft, where she gave me a basket and said I could choose whatever I liked.

I got a new Tim Holtz (TH) alphabet Boardwalk, a couple of XCut mini die sets (exclusive to Hobbycraft, Travel & Haberdashery) a mini flower punch and some silver stickles.


Here are the cards I made with my TH multi Media dies. Sunshine and Moonlight, Buzz and Splash.
.






I checked out my stencil stash and found I had one the same as one die and 3 others which were a good match.

So decided to "replicate" the cards into a journal page...







And here's that scrapbook page too.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Hi BJ, I love how those TH MM dies make such fab elegant cards so quickly! I have a whole pile I die cut before I went into hospital that I shall start putting together soon, I think. Love how you replicated them in the journal too. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #8 XXX
