Hawaiian Grand Vacation Blog Hop
05/27/2015
Welcome to the Hawaiian Grand Vacation Blog Hop! You might have just "hopped" onto my blog from Alison Solven's blog - she does beautiful work!
The theme for this blog hop is to use one of our Pillow Gifts from the Stampin' Up! Grand Vacation I enjoyed last week in Honolulu, Hawaii....
I was inspired by the beautiful necklace we received on our final night - shown below. This unique piece of beautifulness was hand crafted by Laine Benthall - it's soooo delicate and GORGEOUS!!!
So here's what I came up with! This card incorporates the Hello Life stamp set and Bouquet Bigz Die (both shown below).
"Do More Of What Makes You Happy" is a theme that more people should take to heart - I live by this most of the time! When all is said and done - I will be remembering the friends I have made, the memories of traveling all over the world and the fun we had here and there - not the house I live in or the car I drive. I'm making memories that will last a lifetime! I hope that you will take the time to DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!
My inspiration for this card - the beautiful necklace - incorporates a beautiful flower and a saying that I think is the THEME of my life...I received this gift by DOING MORE OF WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY - STAMPING!!!
Here's a close up of the flower - I used a black Sharpie marker on the rhinestone in the center of the flower and sponging the outside edges of my flowers with Daffodil Delight ink.

Love your card Kelly. And love the way you interpreted the Hibiscus from the pendant and used it on your card. Very very cool!
Have a wonderful weekend and see you next hop too! God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
