 Another page from my 2011 Mini Album! We had the best day at Pensacola Beach! My Husband and I laughed when we realized we could have been a beach family since we are both from Long Island. We ended up in Arizona and we are now a desert family. We joked about how different our lives would be if we stayed on the island:

Surfing Waves VS Hiking Mountains 

Riding Dolphins VS Riding Horses

Collecting Shells VS Collecting Rocks

Sandy Butts VS Hot Feet

Sand Crabs VS Scorpions

Beach Vacation! A page from my Smash Book!

I am addicted to making pages for my smashbook! I wanted to make a page for the last day of our vacation from this year. We spent it at New Port Beach. The water was Freezing! We stayed there the whole day laying in the sun, watching the dolphins swim, walking and eating on the pier.

Aloha! It's a Luau!

I am trying to convince my 9 year old to have a Luau Party for her 10th Birthday! So I pulled out my Luau Party boxes to show her the skirts and pineapple cups to try and sway her my way. While I was in there I found some strands from an old luau skirt so I decided to use it instead of tossing it away!

I found this wall plaque at Micheal's for .15!

I inked all the edges and covered it with the pink Hawaii paper. 

I had to dig deep into my paper stash! I knew I had this paper from a few years ago.

The pineapple cup is from Life's a Beach Cricut Cartridge

I used a straw that I bought from the CKC Mesa Convention

The yellow raffia is recycled from a grass skirt

The pink raffia I found on clearance at least 3 years ago! 

The Aloha is a chipboard piece from Joann's

Using my stash! Whoot Whoot!!
