Creating the Crafty Life Take Me Away Blog Hop



Hello! Welcome to the CCL
"Take Me Away" Blog Hop!

Thank you for stopping by!
I hope you will find a ton of inspiration here 
from our CCL Creative Design Team and
some of our awesome members too!

If you have just come from Misty's blog you are on the
right track....

Here is the lineup, in case you get lost....

Tiffany - Maineokie Scrapers

We were supposed to create something that represented
vacations, destinations or places we would like to visit!

I chose to do a 6x12 mini album of my family vacation to
Grand Haven, Michigan this summer! We had an awesome time
there and just loved the beach adjacent to Lake Michigan!
We did a lot of fun things including going on a sand dune ride
in which the tallest dune was 350 feet high!  It was such a fun 
ride and we enjoyed every minute of it!  We also took a paddleboat 
ride on Lake Michigan and saw some super fabulous homes all along the 
coast.  On our last day there, we rented a speed boat and spent 4 hours
on Spring Lake.  All of us had the time of our lives!  I hope some of my 
pictures represent the great time had by all!
