Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone. I am very sorry I have been rather lax on here lately.  I am trying to use my time crafting & catching up on some projects I have had laying around for a while.  So, I get lost in time & do not remembers what day of the week or what week it is.  So I don't keep track of when I last blogged. When checking this morning it was quite a while ago - the 15th in fact. Anyway I have some member showcases to catch up on - so will put a couple up a day. So do remember to scroll down to make sure you haven't missed anything. The first one is from Rita of Mold II group; A retirement card for someone with a lot of interests. Great card Rita. I will blog another one a little later this afternoon. 'Bye for now.

Good afternoon everyone - I have a couple of photos this afternoon from Rita of Mold II group. The photos are of visitors she has had to her garden.  She is rather busy with her house & garden (& she sent a photo of the work in the garden but it was blurry so I cannot include it). But here are the ones of "her visitors"; Rita said that she hadn't seen one of these for some time. Managing to get a photo through the kitchen window. Lovely visitors that make regular visits. Thank you Rita. That's it for today folks. 'Bye for now.

Good afternoon everyone, today I have another member showcase which is from Rita of Mold II group & it leads on from my post yesterday about Tom Moore. Rita has made a card for his 100th birthday which is next Thursday; In her email with the photo Rita also gave me the address to send any cards to - so I am putting it her in case anyone else would like to recognise his achievementboth in age & the great thing he is doing for the NHS. Captain Tom Moore  c/o Post Office Ltd 67 Bedford Road  Marston  Moretaine  MK43 0LA Earlier today it was announced that the money he has raised is now over £25 million.   That's me for today.  There are more member showcases to come. 'Bye for now.

Good morning! I spoke about tidying yesterday & so I thought I aught to do a little myself in my craft room.  Amongst the things that were ready to go out were some magazines I had finished with.  I always have another look through before I throw them away & so that is how I found this card for the member showcase. I cannot remember which magazine or which issue, as soon as I had taken the photo I threw the magazine away. The card featured was one by our Rita of Mold II group. Good to see you are still being featured Rita. As I said in the last post - I don't buy magazines any more - so if you have been featured recently, or get featured in the future - please send me a photo. Back to my tidying - uhmm no - I think I will make some cards. 'Bye for now.

The date today is  26 March and Rita of Mold II club has a birthday Happy Birthday Rita Have a lovely day

Don't forget the agreement to have a lucky dip Easter Card exchange at the March meeting. I will put this on the programme page as well.

Good morning everyone. Today I have a member showcase for you that actually shows tw cards, & they are from our publishing guru - Rita of Mold II club. The first photo shows a card that Rita sent me a photo of after she had made it following the club night the design was shown.  She said she was going to send it in to the magazine. It's the star style easel card - but Rita placed it onto a base card. When I photographed the page, I spotted Rita's name at the bottom of the page  & that she was mentioned twice. So I went back to photograph the other card. Well done Rita. Keep up the good work. Tomorrow I will show you the last set of my beautiful birthday cards. That's me for today. 'Bye for now.

Hi everybody - I am back after taking a little rest from everything. I hope you all survived that awful rain we had & that there were no big disasters. To kick start some blogging posts I have a member showcase for you today & it is from Rita of Mold II club.  She really enjoyed the star style easel card we did at a recent meeting & made one for some friends of hers who were celebrating their golden wedding. The subject theme may seem a little out there........................... ........................ but golf is their passion. Great card Rita. I have received the photos from the Mold club meeting held last Thursday & will be sorting them onto my computer & getting them ready to show here. So more photos on their way. That's all from me today, so 'bye for now.

Good morning everyone. Over the weekend I had an email from Rita of Mold II club regarding her cards I posted on Saturday last. Here is the message she sent; "Well, one card was glued down and the other had foam stickers on the back.    It was my friends birthday on Saturday so she had the purple one and loved it, the other is on its way to Papercraft Essentials mag, which the Wallace and Gromit was out of, hoping to win a prize so you never know we may see it again. " Good luck Rita I am sure they will love it & you will be published once again.  As I have that magazine on subscription I will keep an eye for your card. Here is a reminder of the cards;

Good afternoon everyone I hope your weekend is going well. Goodness its June already, & we are on our way to completing half of the year. Today I have a member showcase for you & it is from Rita of the Mold II club. After the meeting on Tuesday when we made the star style easel card Rita went home & worked on her cards & came up with a slightly different approach, sending me a photo. Here is what she made; Rita has used them as card fronts.  I cannot see, & didn't think to email her & ask, as to whether she has stuck the card down completely, or just glued them by the centre spine. They look great Rita, thank you for sending me the photo. That's me for today. 'Bye for now.

Today is 26 March & a Mold II member has a  birthday Happy Birthday Rita on your special birthday Have a brilliant day.

Good morning & I hope you are all well. This morning I have a member showcase & today it is one from Rita of Mold II club.  It's been quite a while Rita - good to see you back in the magazines.  This one was featured in Creative Stamping magazine; I am sure this is just what Rita wants considering all the work going on around her house.  Make sure you treat yourself in a few days for your birthday Rita! Thank you for sending it in. I have some more member news to share, new things that have been sent in & some things which I have had a little while.  So watch this space over the next few days. This evening it is the Mold club meeting so there will also be photo from that to show  over the next few days.  I am just off to put everything in my box ready - last month I forgot to take a raffle prize.  Duh! Before that though I have another visit this afternoon to Glan Clwyd for the results of my CT scan I had last week, That's ...

Hi everyone. Sorry, I promised this showcase for yesterday but forgot I would be out all day. So here it is now. The member showcase today is one of the cards made by Rita, of Mold II club, which has been featured in a recent copy of Creative Stamping magazine; Well done again Rita its good to see your work still being published. I haven't seen your cards appearing recently - but there again I am not buying (or at least trying not to buy) so many magazines. The weekend is just about on us - have a great one everyone & I hope you have lots of lovely things to do. Back soon - 'bye for now.

Good afternoon everyone. How many of you buy the many paper craft & stamping magazines that are in the shops?  How many of you enter those free prize draws they all feature? I do from time to time when ever there is something that appeals to me, & in the past I have won a couple of things. If you don't or haven't ever tried it, do have a go, you could be in for a surprise.  After all they are there for the taking - someone has to win them. Someone who takes that chance fairly now & again is Rita of Mold II club & she sent me an email with photos of one such sort of prize which she has recently won. Rita has won these two sets of dies. This photo show you the photos on the other side of the packaging. Enjoy your prize Rita. Now where did I put the latest issue of that magazine... there was something I fancied in it.  😀 That's me - 'bye for now.

Good afternoon everyone. This afternoon I have a member showcase for - well 2 in fact - both from Rita of Mold II club.  Both of the cards were featured in Creative Stamping magazine. This card tennis themed card featured in last months issue Annette of Mold II club showed the ladies how to make this card a few months back. . This card was featured in the latest issue of the magazine The giraffe & sentiments are part of the sheet of stamps given free with the magazine. Well done once again Rita - keep going. The weekend is here again so have a wonderful time.  I hope you have lots of nice things planned. 'Bye for now.

Good morning everyone. Today I have a member showcase for you & it is, as I said yesterday, from Rita of Mold II club.  But not this time of cards she has had published but cards she made after being inspired at the club night last week. Rita seems to be quite smitten with the Teepee card they made on the night.  I received an email a couple of days after the meeting with this photo; Then a few days later another email with these photos; It seems Rita can't get enough of them - but says she is set up now for quite a few birthdays & a "new home" card. This really is testament to a great design being shown & learnt - thank you again Annette. I have been in my craft room sorting items that I have not used in ages & preparing to send them to a charity.  But now much of it is across my desk so I can't actually do any crafting.  So I am going to go in there now to sort that part of it. 'Bye for now.

Good afternoon on a rather wet damp day.  Excuse me! but where is that heat wave they promised. Today it is time for another member showcase & surprise surprise once again it is Rita. I think we need to find what Rita's secret is in getting published so often. Her card was featured in this months issue of Creative Stamping - Issue 56. Its a great stamping magazine with a full A4 sheet of stamps with each issue. Well done again Rita That's me for today as I have already had a busy morning attending the Lymphoedema clinic. I have to start wearing a compression sleeve on my right arm to help control the swelling.  It was a bit uncomfortable having it put on by the nurse - for the first time - but she assures me it gets easier.  That will definitely be "another" job for Bob then! 😉don't think I could do it myself. 'Bye for today.

H everyone. Today I am popping in with a member showcase & of course it is our magazine queen - Rita of Mold II club. Her latest publication is in the current issue of Papercraft Essentials magazine.  Here is her card; From this photo you can see that Rita's name does not appear under the card - but there is a "3" in the top corner.  Nowadays the magazine publishers are putting a number against each card & then the names in a list at the bottom of the page. Well done Rita. Here we are at another weekend & I believe we may actually get some good weather.  Have a lovely weekend everyone. 'Bye for now.

Good morning ladies This morning I have another member showcase for you, & once again it is Rita of Mold II club.  When I first spotted her card in a recent issue of Creative Stamping I thought - Rita has already sent me a photo of that card & I have put it on the blog!  Just to make sure I went into my photos folder & there was in fact a card from Rita on a similar theme.  So! I haven't shown you this one yet. Well done again Rita. It's a great card. I have that set of stamps & magazine & they are both sat on my desk waiting for me to do something with them.  I guess I had better sit down soon & use them. Off to the hospital in just under an hour. I am hoping we won't be there too long & then perhaps I can get some crafting in when we return.  I know the oncologist has a busy clinic today - so not holding my breath for a quick & short visit. Have a nice day - it certainly is nice & bright & sunny....

Good afternoon everyone. This afternoon I have a member showcase for you & once again it is cards made by Rita of Mold II club.

This one uses another free gift, an A4 stamp sheet. this time from Creative Stamping Magazine. As Rita said in her email these musical themed stamps make great cards for female or male recipients. Great cards Rita - well done for getting featured again.  Do let us know what prize you get - if there is one given. 'Bye for now.
