Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Hi everyone Just got in from our family get together & a very pleasant evening it was too. I said earlier I had some new sent in by a member & here it is - from Joanna of Mold club; "I recently won prizes from a blog hop - Dreamweaver and Quietfire :) Dreamweaver, as you'll know, make wonderful stencils and they sent me 4 of theirs. Quietfire are my favourite sentiment stamp retailer. They're based in Canada and the owner is a calligrapher and so her stamps are all made from her writing and are beautiful. The not-very-good-really-calligrapher in *me* makes me cringe sometimes at the line spacing and fonts used on some sentiment stamps but hers....well, they're all lovely. So, I'm delighted to say that this morning I got 4 different stamps/sets from her as my prize. And what did I do to win???? I commented on the 'hop' for several days! No skill involved at all sadly so it's probably not worth putting on your blog as a 'triumph' unl...

As a reminder - when you see this post title it means someone in one of the clubs has made something interesting or won competitions etc. Back in August everyone from Mold was trying to guess who had a sent in a message about their success & then not added their name.  Well we were all right - it was Rhiannon & on Thursday she brought to the meeting the item that she had had success with at Rhuddlan, along with 2 other items she had also entered into competitions & done well with.  I just had to photograph the projects & here they are starting with the outside of an altered book - which was this years project at Rhuddlan Show; One of the ladies at the meeting was wondering how I felt taking a photo of it - knowing I have a little problem with altering books. this is the fly leaf. this is the next page in & then this .............. ....... is the opposite page that has a little door in it The door opens to reveal "treas...

A while back I asked for photos of work you have done - or just a write up of your successes. Today when I look at comments waiting to be published there one.  It had been entered using the Anonymous option on the "post a comment" section - but the person forgot to put their name at the end - so I am a little unsure as to which one of you wrote it.  Perhaps you could email & let me know - then I will update this post with your name.  Also it had been posted on my Digital blog - but it was something I asked of the rubber stamping clubs - so as I can't move it between blogs (well I don't think I can) - I have reproduced it here; "a while ago you wrote to say if we had anything to pass on to write on this blog. Today was our Flower show in Ruthin lo and behold I bought two trophies back home,which was a bit of surprise as some things had to be finished a little rushed, as I've had the grand children to look after quite a lot recently and last week I had ...
