I'd Rather Be At The Beach Blog Hop May 18th-22nd Day 4



Welcome to "I'd Rather Be At The Beach" Blog Hop. This blog hop runs from May 18-22. If you are coming from Martha's Blog http://pattisscrapingtime.blogspot.com/ you're on the right track. If you just joined us please start from the beginning HERE at http://www.createserendipity.net/ and hop along with us! We’ve had so much fun creating this hop, and we have a wonderful line up with some oh-so-talented crafters. You will find loads of projects with a beachy theme throughout this hop! If you love the beach as much as we all do, then you won't want to miss this one! We have LOTS of blog candy to offer! Please check back daily for your chance to win!

Here's the lineup:


The Pitons Simply Beautiful, just speaks for itself. This is another honeymoon layout we were on a tour with about 7 other couples. We went to see the Pitons which is what St Lucia is known for. It was BEAUTIFUL! I know the picture on the lower right hand corner came out dark but this was at another resort, the name escapes me. We are in between the 2 pitons and right in the middle is the ocean. It was a cloudy rainy day but we went in June which is the rainy season. I loved that Island and can't wait to go again! Enjoy!!









This layout I used Life's a Beach and Paper Lace for my font. I used my gypsy to weld together the letters. Also, with my letters I made them look 3d by using turquoise dswv glitter paper for the background and then I used the same paper but in coral and used the foam stickers to raise it.  The only sticker I used was Time of my life with, which it was. I added little eyes to my octopus with wiggle eyes, I bought a small pack from Michaels. My flowers are raised using those little foam stickers and I used a pearl and rhinestone for the middle to give off some bling. Summer of love, I used Martha Stewart glitter for the whole thing and then I put glossy accent all over it after the glitter was nice and dry to seal it and give it a glossy look. Hope you like my layout!!! :)

Since this is a 5 day hop I'll be annoucing my blog candy on the last day. In order to be entered, you need to become a follower of my blog and comment on each day of the hop. Ok, now on to the next blog April http://www.curlsngrins.blogspot.com/. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you tomorrow . Have fun!
