Nursing Home Projects

Good morning!  Thursday was my nursing home class at the Golden Living Center.  Here are the simple projects that I came up with for the folks there to complete.  I pre-punch as many things as possible and keep the projects simple.  Some folks come but have us stamp because their hands simply can't hold the stamps.  Others are very mobile and enjoy the experience.  I have to admit...my kids have definite favorites there!  My best and most reliable helpers are my children and I am so proud of them!  My 11 year old son and my 8 year old daughter each take a table to teach a mini class to the residents.  My son has fun stamping with them and giving his projects to Sandy, the activities coordinator, for residents who were not able to attend.  Yes...I am bragging!  (-:

 Have a wonderful day and happy stamping!

Mother's Day Card

Hello and happy stamping!  This card is for the upline meeting at the end of the month and will be my make and take project.  I am also using it for my monthly mailed swap (to kill two birds with one stone).  I did switch out the brads in the smaller flowers for the mini brads and loved the effect.  Also, the prongs on the mini brads are easier to bend so it was easier on my fingers to make all of those swaps!

I cased this card layout from Dawn O but changed quite a few aspects to make it uniquely mine.  Enjoy!
