csnw photos - part 1

Good afternoon ladies.

Today I have the first set of photos of the CSNW meeting last night & they are of their Show & Tell - cards where the theme was a circular card.

We were a reduced group again this month so only 3 cards in the Show & Tell;


Gwen choose a metallic card for her base circular card with a rather unusual floral stamp. I say unusual because of the texture.  When looking at the card & getting ready to photograph it I said to myself - "ask Gwen about the stamp".  Did I?  No.  It looks like it is cross stitch based - or stamped through some netting.  I must remember to ask her next month.


Ann has a pretty scallop edged card with some pretty flowers & lovely thick embossed ivy trails Again my photography put to the test because of the silver mirri card in the centre.  I don't think you can see my reflection!


Joan created a circular easel card decorated with the lacy doily style die cut & that beautiful stamped butterfly.

Lovely cards ladies.

We had a really lovely evening & those ladies who had finished their tag project left their work with me to photograph & return to them next month.  Any CSNW ladies that were not there last night can bring there project in next month & then we will do the swap.

That's me for today - another set of photos tomorrow.

'Bye.

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.
