            Well, my first project today is a Thank You card with the Luau theme.  As you can see, I really love the stickles, my cricut, the color pink, the Hawaiian Flower(Think Cricut refers to it as Plumeria) and the "Beach Baby" paper from Fancy Pants.  I also used Peony Cat eye to ink around the card and flowers.  I used Life's A Beach for the Flower and Leaf.  I found a tiny

  spool of Fuchusia Ribbon at Hobby Lobby.

        

 My second project is this cute little Frame.   Again, I used the shiny fuchusia ribbon from Hobby Lobby.  I painted the wooden frame fuchusia, and then decoupaged the bright colorful paper on to it.  Again, I used my cricut and Life's A Beach to cut out the flowers and the Hula Girl.  The numbers and letters were from a Mylar balloon so I dressed them up by using stickles around them.

Now on to my projects for the First Day of the Hop,  I made two.  The first is a layout.  I didn't title it yet, I haven't decided on a title.  I will wait until I add the pictures.  I am going on  a picnic today since it is my birthday, and it has luau theme.  So, I made this layout for the pictures.

 

 I used the Life's A Beach and Luau Cartridge for this layout.   The paper is Beach Babe, and of course, I used stickles.  The layouts reflects some of my favorite things:  Hawaiian flowers, the color pink, Tiki Huts, Pineapple drinks with umbrellas and stickles. I absolutely love the Beach Babe paper! 

My second project is a Hawaiian Flower Card.  I used my Gypsy which I absolutely love and welded the flower together to create the card.  I used the Life's Beach Cartridge and of course, stickles(Fruitpunch and Glam Pink) and pink  The palm trees are Jolees.   

 I wanted to also share this picture of our oldest fur-baby, Cuddles, who got in the spirit of the hop theme.

I want to thank the lovely ladies of this hop for helping me celebrate my birthday.  Now, hop on over to Gill, and see the beautiful creations she has made for the hop.  Please be sure to stop by tomorrow and hop along with us again to see more crafty creations.
