Crafternooners Go Mosaic

(yes....this is a bit delayed.....post has been written, but wanted to attach pics.....and the pictures STINK!....I tried copying them from our Facebook group...not so good.......but I really want to get this posted so I can get caught up on our next Crafternoon!)


April Crafternoon found us at Wendy's.  While we thought she was supplying us with all new laptops...it was actually a square stepping stone in a Dell box. 

We had lots of goodies to snack on and some yummy lemonaid to sip.

Wendy had invited her sweet parent in laws, her mom, and a sweet friend, Tabitha to join us craftin' crazies.

Plus Wendy had a 'grout boy' that also tripled as greeter ( "Welcome to Crafternoon!" as he answered the door) and delivery boy (those darn stones were HEAV-EEEE!!!!).  Thanks for it all, Gerald!!! 
YOU ROCK!

We all went about our designs on our own and all assembled them differently.  Best I can do is show you what everyone came up with!  And us getting there!

Wendy's (she tried telling us it was like "icing a cake"...whatever!)  :)

Fibercard / Card drawing..........Not sure we got pictures of everyone's.  We really need to be better about that.  They are all so cute, clever, and crafty!

Here is the card Momma Krafter designed, that Jen ended up with.  LOVE THE RED AND BLACK!  Plus there was some more matching black and red stickers and other goodies!

But, my favorite part of Crafternoon, is just hanging with my 'family by chance.....friends by choice'.

Just Bag It!

We all went home 'bag ladies'!  Momma Crafter led us in constructing cute little gift bags using 12x12 scrapbook paper.  We all used her most awesome scoring tray to make bags almost as cute as hers.  We then started venturing out to make different sizes and different shapes.  We left with bags which we were all saying how hard it was going to be to give away.  Somewhere along the way, I think Wendy "craft" her pants...which became our official saying of the day. 


Here are the BAG LADIES:   ( I am officially resigning as club photographer! My camera obviously stinks!!)

*disclaimer....the bags Jenny is holding MAY or MAY NOT be her own creations.  ;)  *

Erin's bags.....somebody sure was busy!

Tricia's bags.......or bag....I know she made more, we must not have taken pics of them.  Cute and spring-y they were.  Just perfect for a little Easter treat for a special sister *wink*wink*!!!

Wendy's bags

And Jenny's bags ( you can't tel, but the green one I actually changed it up a bit; made it square instead of rectangular!)































Next month is Erin's turn to host and she has already declared 'Open Crafting' at her house!  So we will all be working on our own projects that we never seem to find the time to complete.

Just a few 'Blockheads'

We had our 1st CRAFTERNOON!!!

(Erin, Wendy, Christy, Momma Crafter ~ Karen, and Jenny)

Jenny wanted to host as she had an idea she wanted to make for Valentine's Day decor.  After getting the idea from lyndseyscraftspot,   It was a very easy project and we all made our blocks unique.  Jenny supplied tons of blocks (that Erin's husband so graciously cut for us) and everyone brought their other supplies and creativity.


Here are Erin's blocks:

Here are Momma Crafter's blocks:

Wendy's blocks....which she was making for a dear friend's gift:
