 Good afternoon ladies this afternoon I have the photos from the CSNW S&T for June. The theme I set was any theme of their choosing but using the colours red, white & blue.  Here are their cards. Amy Two nice classic style cards from Amy Grace Simplicity is the key here They are so elegant too. Gwen Beautiful embossed card & flowers which have been decoupaged Joan A stepper card with a beautiful circular central topper. Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post?

CSNW Photos

Image
Good afternoon everyone, this afternoon, I have some photos of cards made by the CSNW ladies for their May Show & Tell.  The challenge was a card that Joanna of Mold club showed me some time ago. The card has a side fold, but part of it is sealed - it will become clear when you see their cards. I also gave them Joanna's notes that showed how t make the card a specific size, then asked them to try a size of their own choice. Amy The next photos shows a group of the cards that Amy made for this Show & Tell & then one of each of them individually. Grace The last card shows the way the card fold is made. Two cards made by Grace Gwen Two cards from Gwen also. Ruth Three cards from Ruth Lovely cards ladies I am glad you enjoyed making them & have let Joanna know. Watch your emails for next S&T -- due in June. 'Bye for now & have a good weekend.

 Good afternoon ladies. This afternoon I have the photos from the Mold II club show & tell cards for April.  I can't believe that April is nearly over - one third of the year already gone. The theme for this month was once again chosen by Carolyn & is "Spring" in whatever way you wished to interpret it. Annette Two cards from Annette & here was watch she said about them. "My Spring card has daffodils and tulips.  I’ve used stamps and an embossing folder that came with a magazine a few years ago.  I lightly brushed the corners of the embossed card with yellow ink and the image is coloured with Promarkers.  I also made 3 Atc’s for a monthly swap that I take part in, the theme for this was also Spring." Carol "My card....6"X6" card, cut and emboss daisy frame.  Flowers from my freebie from tattered lace magazine." Carolyn "A Z-fold card using Carnation Crafts "Into Spring" dies." Elizabeth "This months’ card ...

changes to blog appearance.

 Just to let you know I am trying to find a more suitable colour scheme for the blog.  So - every so often when I feel up to playing around I will see what I can find. Although I liked the most recent layout some of the headings were difficult to see.  Just keep an eye on it eventually it will settle down again.
