We all gathered at Phyllis's home to learn to make these beautiful cards. (Taught by a lady who is new to our community!)These are a few of the fun things we used to decorated them.
We used pastel chalks, colored pencils, stickers, ribbon, scrapbook papers and stencils. ( let your creative juices flow) The black shape on the table is the pattern. We Folded card stock and cut a double sided card out. We used card stock so the card would stand. Then we decorated them as we wished. As you can see we had a blast. I had so much fun that we are going to do these for Sunday School and Children's Church. We will make these for our families, and the nursing home and home bound people in our town.
What would a get together be without good food. We had a delicious brunch. One friend brought Mexican Grits Casserole. I could have eaten it all.All of these ladies are so special to me.
Please go to Phyllis's blog and see more. http://shabbyinthecity.blogspot.com/ For the love of vintage.
I am working (playing) so hard.
Now to the real work. There is laundry calling my name. LOL!!!!!!

Isn't it great to be a part of a crafting group of great gals making Easter cards for a lot of folks who are going to enjoy them so much. I don't know whose home that is, but what a great room!

I am looking forward to a crafty evening on Friday night at our church. I'll be scrapbooking while others knit, crochet or whatever other handwork they enjoy.
Have a very blessed week!

Good Morning Mary,
Those are some very beautiful Egg shaped Easter card there. You all did a great job in decorating them also. It will be good project for the kids to do for their families and folks in nursing homes and home bournd folk in the Churhc. I may have to tell a couple of Sunday School teachers about that in our Church. It would be something the kids in our Church could do also. I have been doing laundry and washing dishes. I'm having to take our youngest daughter to see on oral surgeon today. She is going to have to have a root canal. Take care my friend and have a great day. ay GOD Bless you and youers,
Love,
Karen H.

Hi Mary,
I tried to visit Shabby In The City, but she has changed her preference to Invited Guests Only. I signed into my google account, but I am not on her list. Could you ask her if I could have permission?
Thanks, I would love to see the rest of the cards that you all made.
Karen
SO fun!! Love this! We just wanted to say Thank you!
