Christmas cards received - part 1

Good afternoon everyone!

I have now photographed all the lovely Christmas cards I received & will put them here in a couple of postings - or possibly three.

I may add some comments where I think helps describe something about the card which is not always obvious in photos.

this is one of quite a few cards this year that were of single Christmas trees & this one has been gold embossed  Two of the designs I used were single Christmas trees & totally different to those I received.

The star in this one is hanging in the aperture which shows better when the card is stood up & you can see through the aperture.  I hope I do it justice when I say it has been stitched & threads are caught between two piece of white fabric

This sleigh has been gilded with the flakes



all three of these cards have lovely colouring work on them

There, that is the first group.  I may have time to put up another group later.  I will try as I am not sure I will have much time tomorrow as Bob & I are going to the village where his parents are buried to lay some flowers, & also to visit one of his sisters-in-law.  This will include going our for a meal with her as well.

I have also just entered my first blog challenge for 2012 - if you want to follow me in these challenges just pop over to my personal blog.

Enjoy your weekend.  'Bye

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.
