I've missed you. I've been whooshing away working, and cleaning house, and planting all those flowers you saw the other day, and hosting a card party!
After the party this afternoon, I made a really quick card as a tribute to my friends and to play in a couple of challenges. Challenges which are almost over, hence the "last-minute Lucy."
Over at 10 Minute Craft Dash for challenge #12, Paulina has given us bright and cheery colors:
On my monitor the banner looks like lime, but the DT cards look like aqua, so I went with aqua mist, and early espresso, and melon mambo. Because of the heat embossing, I took 9 minutes and 13 seconds to put my card together.
To help me with the design layout, I used the current (also, almost ended) challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This is challenge #75 and the outstanding Tui gave us an uber CAS sketch to play with:
I eLongated the sketch and made this card:
I'm also going to enter my card at Simon Says Stamp where the challenge is "Anything Goes!"

Our fun get-together was ... well, here's a photo to show you.

Sorry for the poor quality ~ lots of light coming in the windows. We are long-time stamping friends and brand-new stamping friends. It was fun to get better acquainted and/or meet each for the first time. Thank you, ladies, for a great stampganza!!
I made a little baggie of tags for each of the ladies as a take-home thank you.
Someone at my grocery store made the little cake pop with a shamrock and a green ribbon. I just attached my little tag bag.

Oh, I wanted to ask you. Is anyone else getting this annoying message every time they go into their "design" feature on their Blogger blogs?
It has been popping up for over a week now. I just hit "close," and everything operates fine, so I don't know why they're sorry. They seem to be able to complete my request, except for falsely popping up to tell me they can't. I would go and report it to Blogger Support, would I could find such a thing. The Help Group appears to be less a Help Group than other bloggers whining about issues. So do you know what the deal is? And what website I can visit to successfully report this annoying popup? Thank you so much!

Hope your weekend is going well. Take a moment to reflect and enjoy! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS*!
