A great workshop

Good evening ladies. I am sorry I have not posted anything for 2 days, but I really haven't done too much to talk about.

That is perhaps a little unfair to my 3 rubber stamping workshop ladies down at the Garden Centre, as we had a great workshop on Thursday morning.  I showed them the one-layer Christmas card that Joana from Mold club has shown us.

Whilst that was a great workshop, the one I am referring to above is one that I have been on today. It was with a lady called Elizabeth Robinson who is a North Wales lady, but the workshop was with the Happy Stampers group (that brings you the festivals).

Here are the photos of the 2 items I made;


a card and


a canvas

The photos are making them look paler than they actually are.

Just before leaving I spoke to Elizabeth & asked if I could show you all how to do these items, & she was very generous & said yes.  Most demonstrators are - but just now & again you get some who try not to let too many people know how to do things,  Strange really, as they most probably got them from someone else - or probably from the Internet.

Anyway I am not going to explain how they were made - but will build, at least the card, into an early meeting in 2016.

I hope you are all having a good weekend, despite the rain & wind.

'Bye for now.

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.
