We are sad to announce that Maria will be leaving our design team.  Maria has been a sheer joy to have on our team.  She always makes very thoughtful special cards and we will miss her creative talent.  We wish her the best in her next step and hope she enjoys all of her free time!  Thank you Maria for everything!

We are excited to welcome Helen Finley as our Guest Designer.  Helen blogs at Moments of Crafting and they are some moments!  Helen is super creative and does wonders with watercolors!  This card is a prime example of that!  The colors are bright and the image sweet perfection!  Visit her blog and leave her a comment or two!

Our blogging platform, Typepad, tried to install upgrades and conduct maintenance to the platform over the weekend.  Apparently there were issues causing blog users to be unable to access their blogs or create posts.  They have rolled back the upgrades and are still in the process of trying to correct everything.  You may not be able to see some pictures at this time due to the problems.  My apologies to everyone who tried to visit us or upload a card.  What a mess!  Hopefully the platform will be fully restored soon.  Thank you for supporting Retro Rubber!  We appreciate you!!
