Christmas Card Workshop

Good evening ladies & what a beautiful day it has been.
This morning I had a workshop for Christmas Cards with the theme of Black & White.  Another really good workshop was enjoyed by all. 

I actually had quite a difficult task finding things for the B & W theme.  It wasn't a rubber stamping workshop which would have made things quite a lot easier. But I did some work on my computer & printed off some sheets with Merry Christmas all over it - so that gave me black writing on white paper.  Then I searched for some images & background papers on CD's I have & found some quite interesting papers.  I printed some as black pattern & some with more of a grey colour.  Then I wanted to make the cards a little different as well so came up with some different shapes.

The ladies at the workshop let me take photos of their cards, as I have decided to start an album - or perhaps several small ones - on my workshops.  I will show them to you tomorrow after I have got them on the computer & all of the table mess around them removed - or as much as I can.

Tomorrow I am out all day with Gareth - we are going to Portmeirion.  In all the time I have lived here in North Wales I have not been there & have wanted to visit for some time - so I am really looking forward to it & a day out with Gareth will be really nice.

So will have nice things to talk about tomorrow & I hope lots of photos.

That's me for tonight.  Sleep well.
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.
