some recent cards

Good afternoon everyone.

Well, despite the road closures everyone made it to the Mold club meeting last night.  Mind you we took a wrong turning leaving at the end of the evening & ended up going round in circles a couple of times.  Just didn't recognise the roads in the dark.  Anyway a good evening was had by everyone.

Joanna kindly took the photos of the project & when she has time to send them to me I will put them here.

In the meantime I have 2 birthday cards to show you today.  October quite a busy month - it is Gareth's birthday, Elayne's birthday & their wedding anniversary.

Here is the card I made for Gareth


It's a Gate-fold card but the photo shows it closed.
The car topper is what keeps it closed.

I think I have given car cards to Gareth before - 
so I better start searching for a new idea for next year.

Here is the card I made for Elayne


I used Hunkydory card & images for this one. I really love the design style of this one.


The central panel pulls up & reveals the sentiment.
Our personal greeting I wrote on the reverse of the insert.

I will show you their anniversary card in another post.

I hope you all have a good weekend & that we don't get too much of the rain we have had this afternoon.  Have fun whatever you are doing.

'Bye for now.

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.
