~Aloha!~




I picked up this stamp in Hawaii years ago...before I even knew how to stamp! ;)



I know, ink and paper....



but embossing helps too.



So does fringe scissors!




This is recycled paper...the center of the wrapping paper I had.


It curled naturally, so that helps for dimension.



When I saw FYI Challenge #30...I was inspired!





I immediately thought of ukeleles,sea water aroma and blinding sunshine!




ALOHA!
