Cocktails & Dreams Blog hop

Hi all!  Welcome to the Cocktails & Dreams blog hop!   I hope everyone is having a great summer!  I spent the last week at my Mom's lake house in northwest Indiana.  It was sooooo nice!  My 3 nieces and two kids spent practically all of their days in the water.  It was hard to get them out!  I love all the great memories they are making at the lake...
Anyway, today we head back home to enjoy the last few weeks of our summer vacation.  If you are hopping along with us then you just came from the very talented Lisa at Lisa Garrow, if not, and you want to start at the beginning, go ahead back to Gill's blog over at Creations by Gill M.
Once I heard Gill was hosting this hop I knew I wanted to take part in it. What a fun title, huh?  It conjured up images of the movie Cocktail, which then led me to thinking about beaches, which then led me to thinking of Jimmy Buffet.  Funny how that works, huh?  Anyway, my project is of a scrapbook page I did last year when my husband and I went with some friends to the Jimmy Buffet concert.  This was only my second Jimmy Buffet concert and it was a blast!
I stamped the title and used the retired Stampin UP! Tropical Party for the green palm like leaves, the flowers, the drink, and the little tree.  The patterned paper is also a retired set from Stampin UP!  The background paper is Stampin UP! Tempting Turquoise along with the ribbon.

 Here are the two pages together.

Thanks so much for visiting today!  Your next stop is the very crafty Jenn over at Cardstock and Coffee.

  4. What stunning pages! They're so bright and eye catching! I'm sorry, I've got to admit that I've never heard of Jimmy Buffet! But I'm sure the concert was amazing! It always brings back so much memories of a special occasion when you use photos etc for a craft project.

    Well done!

  11. By your headline I thought you were referencing a Tom Cruise movie. Maybe you were?
