member showcase

Good afternoon everyone.

Yesterday I didn't do any crafting, as Bob & I decided to get in the car & go off out for the day.  We started from home & ended up on a nice circular tour all around Snowdonia area, & lots of country roads.  We finished off by having a meal in "The Talardy" at St Asaph & then home.

Anyway - today I have been having another one of those "tidy ups" we do from time to time. I had quite a collection of craft magazines lying around, so I decided to go through them to see if there was anything I wanted to keep & then put them in the bin.  In 2 of them I found a card from one of our club members & I have taken a good look in my files & at the blog & it doesn't look like I did anything with these.  So I photographed them & I am putting them here now.

They are cards by Rita of Mold II club & were featured in craft magazines early in the year or possibly the end of last year;


This is a lovely anniversary card & there is a little die-cut white dove at the bottom edge of the heart.
Rita has created this card with the Folk Art painting that she is going to show the Mold II ladies at their April meeting.


A cute teddy sending birthday wishes, using the free Happy Birthday die cut that was on the magazine.

Well done again Rita - I don't know how these got missed - I don't seem to have been sent the photos to put on the blog.  Perhaps I meant to photograph them originally & that was why I still had the magazines.

That's me for today.
'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.
