member showcase

Good evening everyone

Today I received some photos from Rita of Mold II that I am going to showcase here.  I am sorry I didn't write anything yesterday but I had a workshop in the morning & then  pretty busy afternoon & before I knew where I was - the day had gone.

Rita recently was informed she had won a prize for one of her cards - here is the card


& here is her prize


The embossing folder is definitely the prize but Rita is not sure if the magazine is as well.

Well done again Rita - you said you thought the card was one you made at club when you were on a roll & we were using markers.  I am thinking you probably mean the "Thumping Technique"?

That's me for today ladies - I haven't done any crafting myself today - unless you call gardening a craft.  I have had my raised bed in the back garden stripped out except for a very large cherry tree. That is coming out next week.  So the next few days I am finding pots for the plants that have been removed & designing how they will be going back in the garden, which I hope will be fairly maintenance free & easy for me to manage.

Back tomorrow - bye for now.

Oh yes - tomorrow is the Mold meeting - looking forward to that.  BFN.

Gwen Beautiful embossed card & flowers which have been decoupaged Joan A stepper card with a beautiful circular central topper. Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post? 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.
