Sea Island Retreat & Creative Xpress Design Team Assignments

Fresh new look for the blog! I'm trying to make up for the neglect. I'm so sorry to my friends for neglecting their blogs too.... I love to visit so many of you and I haven't had time to do my blog crawls.

On a brighter note, Spring will soon be here.....and you know what that means!! Summer is around the corner!! YES!!!!

Bring on the heat wave, baby! I'm ready for ya! Sun, Sand, Surf and lots of tropical smellin' sun screen!! I've got my beach vacation already planned....(Now, if I can only get the time off and Kenny Chesney to run off with me.......oh details, details)

This is BFF LaMuir and I having wayyy to much fun!

Speaking of the beach, I spent the weekend at Sea Island, Ga with some fabulous and talented ladies!(A HUGE thank you to Beth F. and LaMuire for organizing this retreat!!) My three most favorite things are my friends, scrapbooking and the beach. What a treat to have all three together!! It was so good to get together and have my creative energy renewed. These fabulous ladies were all amazing stampers.....And I do mean AMAZING. Each one of them brought a talent to the table and shared it. I learned and absorbed so much information and ideas........and you know what?? They may have worn off on me! I think I can add "Stamper" to my creative resume. (Gasp!! I know!! its Exciting news, isn't it! ...not so exciting if you're my bank account, but its cheaper than therapy, right........bahahahah...No way!!)

Cheers!! To all my stampin sistahs!! I love you guys!
BTW, This was our beach "cottage" bahahahah..... And if you're lookin' for a Stampin Up Rep, just let me know, I can hook you up with some GOOD ONES!!

And speaking of creative resumes, with the new month came all new assignments! Every designer on the team was given a "rule of design" assignment. I've never been one to study the color wheel. I've always just gone with my instincts but my assignment this month challenged me to use analogous colors.
So what in the world is analogous colors?? If you think of the Rainbow colors as ROYGBIV. Analogous colors are colors that are next to each other in the rainbow. For the first card and layout I chose Green, Blue, and Indigo. This is my favorite color combo because it reminds me of the beach and water!! (Is it summer yet?) For my second card I chose Orange, Yellow, and Green.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Heads Up, Buttercup!!!
Next months assignment is going to be gorgeous and elegant!! And I get to play with some new papers released at Winter CHA!!

Stay tuned......I'm workin' on it!
