I live in senior independent living - it's great way to live - have a large apartment, meals, tons of activities from which to choose - besides I am now living 15 minutes from my daughter - best perk of all. I teach a card class every month - usually have about 15-20 of the residents in every class - so it's a challenge to think up a card and then do all the prep of the materials for the class.
I made several sample cards for ideas for the group. I cut out tons of various colored butterflies from Altenew Fluttering Fantasies - also leaves from Itty Bitty Branches. Had three trays of a mixture of sizes and colors of butterflies on the tables - other supplies were in their packets - card base, sequins. leaves. As everyone finished, I spattered their card with gold metallic ink.
That's me in the back row on the right!
Thanks for stopping by.
Such a stunning butterfly card, Betty, and how fun that you have a great group of crafters to teach!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful life you must have Betty with a lovely bunch of like-minded friends! You have inspired me to think about putting on a one-off class with our U3A organisation here in Gloucester Australia. I so enjoyed reading your blog! And your Flutterby cards look gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your card and class pictures on IG, Betty! Wish I could have been there! Absolutely love your card!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your work Betty. I shall really enjoy going through all of your cards. How lovely to have a nice group to share your experience and inspirations with, and how motivating to create with friends. I finally stopped crafting because I ended up doing it alone, and it didn’t quite give the same satisfaction. Long may you all enjoy! Pam (in U.K.).
