Barabara's 50th Birthday Luau Blog Hop

Welcome to Barbara's 50th Birthday Luau Blog Hop! If you came here from Ashley's blog then you are on the right track:-) If not, you may want to start at Barbara's blog so you don't miss any goodies:-)

I had so much fun with my project. I love making word books. They are the reason I originally bought my first Cricut Expression. I was at a weekend crop a few years back and saw a word book a lady had made using Design Studio and her Expression. I knew right away the tons of gifts I could make! For this album I used the Life's A Beach cart for the letters and welded them to a square shape from Accent Essentials. I used The Paper Studio's paper and coordinating ribbon. I also added some Prima flowers with brads and raffia. The pics are from vacation in Kauai. 







Now for the really fun stuff... Hop Candy! Yippee!! ... And of course, it's all purple! Simply become a follower and leave a comment that you did (or already are) along with your email addy or a way to contact you if you should win. I'll be using Random.org to pick a winner after the hop is over.



Your next stop is the über talented Sherry at Patterns By Sher. I've also listed the line-up below in case you get lost along the way:-) Thanks for "hopping" by! Have a creative day:-)

    YOur book came out awesome. I agree with auntie em. I also need to do more with the expression. By the way, will you be able to make a card for a little girl. You can read on her here:http://stacy-scrappinqueen.blogspot.com/2011/08/cards-for-olivia-drive.html. Sorry, I do not know how to add someone blog without all this. Maybe you can even put it in your blog since you have so many followers.
    Thanks.
