What a great way to spend a Saturday! Six teens, their leader and three women from United Methodist Women filled my living room, dining room and kitchen with enthusiasm, laughter, moments of concentration on their task, eating, and prayer. The end result? A wonderful day of fellowship and a service to the church. They created these Easter and All-Purpose cards to be sent out to shut-ins and others. The daffodil cards are bookmark cards and were fairly complex. The cards in the foreground provided the most opportunity for their creativity, as you can see. Of course, they enjoyed using the Big Shot. Everyone does.
They had a sample to work from but it is always interesting to see how stampers take the same basic idea and materials to express their own creativity. Teens are very good at that. They created beautiful cards - and gave me some new ideas as well. Thanks. Scroll down to previous entries see clearer pictures of their samples.

Naturally, before they go to work, they have to have a snack. After all, they are teens.
There's a time to play.... and they know how to play! It is such a joy to see how they enjoy one another.
The youth and their outstanding leader, Jennifer, (center back). Unfortunately, one of the girls had to leave before the photo was taken, so you don't see her, but she was a busy card maker right to the end. We had such fun. I hope they will want to do it again before too long.
Wonderful women from United Methodist Women who know teens need to eat - before, during, and after... Jan, Dianna, and Shirley were great! Some of the cards you see are their creations, too. Thanks so much. You helped make the day so successful!
