Design Team Call at My Pink Stamper

Hi Friends...
It's me, braving the hot box again. It's actually a lot cooler at night when the house is still and quiet. I know I'm going to regret being up this late when my two year old gets up. Aieh-Vey! Anyhew... Have you Heard the News! It's now a new term for My Pink Stamper's Design Team. This was one of the reasons I started my blog in the first place back in January. I didn't make that call, but I will surely be trying again and again if need be. Robyn is one of the many sweetest persons out there. You can really feel her genuine love for her family, followers and friends. I can't believe that she's ever met a stranger that didn't feel touched by her warm spirit. I know I have and I haven't even met her in person. Well it's time for me to bring some Serious "A" Game this time around. I've learned a lot along the way since I started blogging and I'm ready to share some of my growth that continues and is un-ending. We still have no AC, and this card has been 4-days in the making since I first learned of her new Design Team Call. There are a lot of stamp makers out there and I know we'd all love to design for all of them if we could. Robyn, I will say is one of those top stamp makers (in my book) I would love, love, love to design for. Hop on over to the My Pink Stamper Design Team Call to learn more about the specifics of the DT Call. Feel free to join in. I know she'd love to have an entry from you too.
As the Challenge, we were asked to:
Make a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite Cricut cartridge using the following colors......
OrangeTurquoise GreenBrown(other optional color of your choice) For some reason my mind went immediately to a Summer Design card. I don't know why, but I guess it could have been steered from the all HEAT I'm still experiencing with no AC. I wanted something tropical looking or beachy so that's where my mind went and I just went with it. **sn: (my mind tends to go off on a lot of places and sometimes gets lost trying to find its way back...lol; Yeah I hope you're laughing With ME and not At ME, because I know you're all guilty too... It's called Day Dreaming...LOL)**. Anyhew... without further a due, here is my card for the DT Call.

 I think I got all of the elements required in there. Wish me luck. Robyn will be announcing her new Design Team on a Live Broadcast, Saturday - July 23rd. I'll be practicing my Sun Drop dance...LOL! Smooches...

Happy Retirement!!

Just a Quick Post... How could I have forgotten to show this. I guess I was working so quickly to get it done that I didn't even think to take pictures or let alone write down the recipe notes... Why do I continue to work under this kind of pressure. Today we had someone from my job retiring and we all brought in food to sit down and share a luncheon with our fellow employee. We'll use anything in our work place to have a reason to bring in food and eat. Do you work in a place like that?...(lol). I tell ya, the pounds there is no way to stay on any type of diet in this place. Anyhew, here are some quick, not so good, pictures of the banner that I took in our conference room. (you can click on the photo to see it larger). Smooches...
