member showcase

Good morning everyone & what another beautiful day it is too.

This morning I have a member showcase photo for you & this time it is from Sheelagh of Mold club;


I have shown these extra large because otherwise you cannot see the detail.  Aren't they lovely?  Well done Sheelagh & I am sure that Carolyn of Mold II club who showed us all how to make these will be absolutely delighted.

I have another showcase for you later as I have spotted a card in a magazine from one of our ladies.

Also I didn't take photos yesterday of the cards I had made at the workshop because Bob & I went out for most of the day.  We had a really beautiful drive around the Welsh countryside which we started by heading towards Ruthin, then out towards Bala (but didn't go there).  Along country lanes just big enough to take the car & we stumbled upon a very quaint pub where we stopped for a drink & having watched the food being brought out decided we would return another day for a meal. From there in the direction of Welshpool & back home only joining the main roads just before Wrexham, then back roads again to home. Really lovely day.

So as it is another beautiful day I am now off into the garden for an hour or so.

Have a lovely day.

 Good afternoon ladies this afternoon I have the photos from the CSNW S&T for June. The theme I set was any theme of their choosing but using the colours red, white & blue.  Here are their cards. Amy Two nice classic style cards from Amy Grace Simplicity is the key here They are so elegant too. 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.
