My Blue Valentine

This week at Just Us Girls, Vicki is hosting a great color challenge. I am no stranger to these awesome colors! I love teals, blues and browns together.

Since I am all about making Valentine cards, I went with a blue Valentine idea- well maybe an aqua-teal Valentine!

I loved the card and I needed a quick and simple card for my Valentine card class with the seniors at New Horizons. I am not sure they would go for the teal, brown combo so here is the same card in more traditional colors.

Here is the second card the seniors will be making. I used this card as my inspiration. 

Soooo then I got to thinkin' I can remake this card with the challenge colors!

I actually like it better with the challenge colors! What a great guy Valentine!!

I cannot wait to see what all of you come up with this week at Just Us Girls!

Senior Card Fun

Today was my Holiday Card Making class at New Horizon's Center for Seniors. The weather was pretty yucky, cold and rainy, so there were some folks who couldn't make it, but those that did had a great time. 

This was the first time these two ladies ever stamped. Look at that concentration. The 2 cards above were theirs. They did such a good job, that I had to show case their work. Excellent beginner's work don't you think?

Carolyn worked on her layout till it was just right.

Here is one who I definitely sucked into the stamping cult- Annmarie is adding just a little(??) more glitter to her cards!

The two hours flew by and everyone went home with 2 great holiday cards!

Make-n-Take at New Horizon's Senior Center

For my Holistic Care of the Chronically Ill and Elderly class, I had to visit a Senior Center. While I was visiting New Horizons in Narberth Pa. I ended up with a card making gig! 

Today was the big day, my friend Pat and I did a make-n-take to gauge the interest of the seniors. It was quite the hit! They loved the cards and many were able to discover their artistic side.

They were all interested in further classes and I will be returning in July or September for more classes. It is so much fun to see new stampers, they are so free and are amazed by what they end up with. They all really got into it and decorated their envelopes, something they figured out on their own!

Many thanks to Anne Marie the program director for setting this up for me- even she was getting into the act. Look at that concentration!

A special thanks to my best buddy Pat for helping me out, I couldn't have done it without her!
