For the past two days, an attendant has showered you with birthday greetings.  Today, he returns and brings you...




For this card, I used Close to my Heart papers, Liquid Glass, and Color-Ready Cork Alphabets.  I also used the Potpourri Basket Cricut cartridge for my palm tree.

Aloha can mean hello or good-bye.  Sadly, we say good-bye to another fun blog hop but hello to new friends and memories.  Thank you for sharing my tropical dreams!  If you would like a bonus, please comment below for your chance at some blog candy.  A winner will be chosen on September 1st.  You must come back here to claim your prize!  You can have a second chance at winning if you become a follower of this blog.  If you'd like to become a Facebook fan of Curls & Grins, you can click here

As if you really needed a reminder when you are sitting on a tropical beach!  This card is made with Close to my Heart papers and adorned with summery flowers from my craft stash.  The paper flowers have button centers and ribbon accents to finish the look.  The sentiment is stamped from the "A Little Everything" stamp set by Close to my Heart.
