I'd rather be at the Beach Blog hop - Day 2

Welcome to the "I'd Rather Be At The Beach" Blog Hop. This blog hop runs from May 18-22. If you are coming from Emily's  Blog you’re on the right track. If you just joined us, you can go back to the beginning HERE and hop along with us. We’ve had so much fun creating this hop, and we have a wonderful line up with some oh-so-talented crafters. You will find loads of projects with a beachy theme throughout this hop! If you love the beach as much as I do, then you won't want to miss this one! We have LOTS of blog candy to offer! Please check back daily for your chance to win!

Now, on to some good stuff.

My second project to share with you has a bunch of Monkeys hanging out in the warm summer sun on 

the beach.

I've created this cute page two page 12x12 layout with a pull out tag.   The monkeys are patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I used the "Fun in the Sun Monkeys" pattern for all the paper piecings on this layout.

I will definitely be offering up some blog candy, so be sure to enter to win.

Each day I will be offering a peek at the total grand prize blog candy.  There is one prize for this entire hop.

In order to be elgible to win, please do the following 3 things

The blog candy for today (Day 1)  is a $10.00 Gift Certificate to Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

For Day 2, I am adding the following blog candy:

- The pre-made border that I blogged about yesterday!

This border will fit nicely on the bottom of a 12x12 layout!
