From today through August 31st, please join with me in imagining a beautiful sunset, sand between our toes, and an icy beverage in hand.  An attendant walks over to our cabana and hands you a crisp white envelope. Inside you find a card from a friend, inviting you to a luau on the beach...

This simple card is made using retired Close to my Heart papers.  It is embellished with Liquid Glass, buttons, glitter, and a brad for the center of the purple flower.

Thank you for indulging in my little fantasy.  If you would like a little 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

Come back tomorrow for part two!  While you are waiting, please continue to Lynne at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/

Well, now that you got me in the mood, I think I had better just make myself a Lava Flow and put on some music by Iz and dream of Hawaii. I am your newest follower and would love for you to do the same.
