Three challenges in one day

Hi everyone
Although I am feeling rather tired again today I decided to take part in some blog challenges.  As the title says - three in one day!  You can see them over on my personal blog by clicking HERE.

I finally photographed the 2 little tags that I had made during that tag workshop.  There isn't any stamping involved as it wasn't a stamping workshop.  I just gave them a box of papers & embellishment & went from there.  The photo is at the end of the blog.

I was really lucky with the heart tag, as I just pulled out some items from the box & there was the piece of red card with the heart aperture & the outline silver heart, which of course just fitted inside the aperture.  After another look in the box I found the other silver heart & the word Love on a piece of paper which I trimmed & popped inside the outline heart.

The other tag was made to show how using papers in strips or patchwork can really work well.  Then in the box I found the butterfly.  I haven't put ribbons in them yet - but they are going to go in my book of tags that I have been creating.  You may remember last year I showed photos here of the tags as I made them. 

Just love making tags they are so quick - well generally - & can be used in different ways.

Well that is all I am writing today as Gareth arrived a few moments ago & now he has gone off with Bob to get us a fish & chips dinner.  So I must be ready when they return.

Have a lovely weekend.

More tomorrow.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
