HSS Luau Theme Challenge #24

What comes to mind when you hear the word LUAU? Is it hunky tattooed tribal men retrieving a well roasted pig from an underground grill, or is it grass skirts and coconut bras on dancing island girls moving their arms like the ocean waves? Is it the thought of boundless tropical foods, fire torches, and ritual dances or simply the vibrant colors that are endless on a warm black sand beach? Whatever your inspiration we challenge you to take that and create ANYTHING that translates to a LUAU THEME for you. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

We are thrilled to share ANOTHER phenomenal guest designer with you this weeks Luau Themed Challenge. Charlene Driggs has created this FUN and tropical gift set, complete with treats! Charlene obviously has a love of vibrant color, you can check out all the details for all of her projects on her blog PAPER & INK PLAYGROUND. Thanks Charlene for such a wonderful project!
