February Valentines and Name Tags
This month we took a little field trip and got a bit crafty! Instead of meeting at our usual meeting spot at the Concord Library, members got together at the aRt Cottage to see the Inspiration Surrounds Us show and do some little make-n-takes.

| CAA Board President, Catherine Hensiek |
Lisa Fulmer, an Artist Educator for Marabu Creative, shared a few techniques for working with Art Crayons on watercolor paper as part of a cardmaking project for Valentine's Day. She also provided a selection of Aqua Pens to make custom name tags.

| Congrats to Julie who won the Board vote for best name tag |
 |
| Congrats to Michele, winner of our door prize - Marabu Art Crayons! |
All creativity is good creativity! We love when we can sit down and play with new art supplies.
