mold photos part 2

Good morning ladies

Gosh another weekend is here - I hope you have some nice things planned. Tomorrow Bob & I are off to Birmingham to see the Lipizzaner horses from the Spanish Riding School of Vienna. It is something we have both always wanted to see.

Back to today & I have the photos of the Mold club project from Thursday nights meeting.  We were once again joined by Carolyn of Mold II who showed us how to make the Frame Card.

In all the photos there is a slight shadow at the top - this is due to having to photograph them laid flat & the light caused the frame to put a shadow there.


This is Yvonne's card with that lovely "Me for you" bear on it obviously enjoying the snow.



Some beautiful floral decoupage from Clare on her card - very delicate.


Joanna's card absolutely bursting with poinsettias - it's almost a present.


Mair's really pretty clean & simple card. I like that the flowers are in the box as well as on the outside.


Rachel's card has that lovely Christmas sweater from her show & tell in it.


Maureen used this stunningly beautiful & colourful butterfly decoupage on her card.


Lynn also had impact colours on her card & I love the way that floral decoupage fills the corner.


This card from Joan is so delicate I love the pale blue colours & again the embellishments have been brought to the outside as well.


From Janet a many layered decoupage picture & some really gorgeous snowflakes.


I love the way that Sheelagh has draped the foliage die cuts around the fame pulling the eye into the decoupage in the centre


Rhiannon has used one of the little "Gorjuss" images in her frame in a delicate shaded of lilac.

The effect of the cards standing all together on the table was quite stunning, so I took a photo of them in 3 batches & then tried merging them to make one photo.  It doesn't quite work out as a couple of them overlap a little into the next photo - but I think you will get the idea.


Thank you once again Carolyn for a great evening - the ladies really enjoyed this project, which I think shows in the results.

I did make a card during the evening but it is lost between the centre photo & the right hand photo so I will show it here now;


I really like this project & have already cut out the card to make another one.  Thank you Carolyn.

Right! that is me for today.  I won't have the time tomorrow or blogging - so I will be here again on Monday.
Have a great weekend
'Bye!

      I think that problem has to be put right in the new year Joanna. Either before or after I take the photos for everyone to hold their cards up for everyone else to see.

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.
