Kauai :)

Lots of challenges inspired this layout {other than my determination to finally tackle my Hawaii album once and for all}... First off, this super cute sketch from Sketchy Thursdays, posted today! 


Here's the layout I made!


As part of the Scrappy Mom Stamps "Life's A Beach" challenge, I used that cartridge to cut my favorite Hibiscus flower out at 3 1/2". I popped up the flower part and doodled with a white gel pen. Since I made this paper piecing, I'm linking up to Lasting Memories' challenge too!


I also cut the title out from the same cartridge, at 1 1/4". I wish this cart had a shadow feature though! ;)


For Amanda's "Get Scrappy" challenge, you needed to make a layout using your cricut AND use a stamp. I just had to add my favorite sentiment from my new Scrappy Mom's summer set - "Mahalo" which is "thank you" in Hawaiian.


Thanks for stopping by today! It feels good to make layouts again (after several card posts).

Great job Suzanne. Your page is fantastic. Perfect papers, and perfect embellishments. The hibiscus is gorgeous. I have to drag out that cartridge myself. Thanks for playing along with Lasting Memories.

I will say it again Suzanne, this layout turned out great. Some day I will make it there, but 17 hours is a long time to get some where, but worth it in the end.
