a birthday card

Hi again everyone

Today I have a photo of the card I made for our grand-daughter who is 20 today. She is a very artistic girl very much like her mother, so it is always difficult to decide what sort of card to make.

Do you remember this?...............


............ it was one of the Brusho demo pieces from the CSNW meeting earlier this month.

I was watching a demo on TV & the person used a die I had been interested in purchasing - the demo sealed it & I bought the die (well its a set of dies) & I made this card;......................


The splat is the aperture created by the die & I placed my Brusho piece under it.  Looks like a splash of paint on the card.  A nice big sentiment & a couple of small coloured pearls & card done!

I am very pleased with this card & I hope she will be too.

That's me - another Christmas card to show you tomorrow.  'Bye for now.

    Love the card Gloria, that die is great :) That photo is still there in the middle of your blog but strangely the words go behind it (making it hard to read, of course) but your photos are on top of it!

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.
