A birthday card

Good evening everyone I hope you have been having an excellent weekend.

Today I have a photo of a birthday card I made this week for our Son-in-law, which has to be made fairly early as it has to go out to the USA.  Just hope we have posted it in time.

Whilst I was wondering what to make Bob mentioned that he (our son-in-law) liked the Beatles.  I have a die of a Juke-box which I bought a couple of years ago in order to make a card for my brother who actually has one. So then it was how to incorporate something about the Beatles.

Here are 2 photos - the first one is the different elements laid out on my desk, then the second one is the finished card.,


I die-cut the juke box in black card & also the little music border.  On the Internet I found a royalty free piece of sheet music & printed that.  The coloured card in the photo is one of the sheets from the workshop last week decorated with Brusho crystals.


The finished card.
I used a 5x7 white card & layered a reduced size sheet of the music on black card. I drew around the juke box die to cut out a layer from the Brusho card then glued them together.  The music border I used on the back of the card.

Quite pleased with that.  Made me feel as though my mojo is on its way back.

That is me for today. 'Bye.

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.
