We made a card and magnetic book mark to encourage the girls to read Stampin'up! Style, we also made a mini scrapbook album, played bingo and finished the day with ice cream.

Here are our projects.  The card was a swap from convention and I love how I could make a book mark out of it.

Here is the inside of the mini album.

Bingo stamp #120851 is a hit.  Today we used itty bitty bits to stamp on the inside.  Next month we will be using Spooky Bingo bits.

Kids from 6 to 12 came to our Ice Cream Social Club and they were all capable of making the projects.  Bingo was a hit! and they love Memento mall prizes:)
