mold photos - part 2

Good afternoon everyone.

Today I have the photos from MoldII's project on Tuesday night, when Joanna & Janet from Mold club visited them & showed the bleach blocking technique.  Remember - not a bottle of bleach in sight



Both these photos are of Carolyn's samples.  I love the script stamp - it adds such texture & you don't have to be able to read it, & isn't that oval gorgeous?


Elma managed to get her sample layered onto a card.  Beautiful Elma.



A couple of completed cards from Annette with her samples. I have that word stamp in the top photo - hmm! ideas!


Christine has some prancing deers enjoying her bright & cheerful background.


Helen experimented with different cosmetic sponges rather than the cut 'n dry foam.  I like it!



A really delicate set of samples from Carol.  I particularly love the oval with the Dreamees flower stamp. Beautiful Carol.



Once Rita had finished her first sample & layered it onto a card she went on to make that lovely Triptych card.



Two oval samples from Elizabeth. Absolutely brilliant as a topper for a large card.


Sue used a oval for her main sample - those ovals were popular - & a lovely tag with that text stamp on it.


Lin stayed Christmassy for her samples. The blocking is very clear & doesn't take away from the stamped image.


Liz's Christmas design is really bright & cheery. It is going to look great when it is layered up.

Some great work there ladies & I think Joanna & Janet can be very happy with their evenings work showing everyone this technique.

From my point of view - you have inspired me with your ideas & I came away from the meeting knowing where I was going with some cards I have to make.  Thank you.  This is what I love about stamping & sharing ideas at meetings.  No matter how long you have been crafting you can always learn something from someone else.

Have a lovely evening.  Tomorrow I am off to the opticians to collect my new glasses. I can't wait to see the difference they will make as my eyes have been feeling a bit strained recently.

'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.
