FLUTTERBYS!

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.

PINK FLOWERS

I am the designer for #292 TicTacToe Challenge board this go around.  I chose across the middle with floral, free and white - pretty easy and fast choice for me.

My flowers are from Altenew - Fresh Flowers and the greenery is also from Altenew - Itty Bitty Branches.  I embossed a circle in the background for some texture.  The greeting is from an old Memory Box set of sentiments.

Hope you'll find some inspiration from my board and join us in our challenge this time.
