St Pete Beach Album, It's 5 o'clock Somewhere

I used Life Is A Beach for this layout. I cut the toucan as large as I could using fit to page. I cut the beak as layers and inked them and cuttlebugged all of the pieces. I cut the whole bird again in brown and tan, so I could layer and cuttlebug the feet and branch, too. I added some doodles too. The leaves are from Life Is A Beach.
I cut the letters from Cuttin' Up and there isn't a shadow, so I cut them again in black to make a shadow. The pineapple drink...was fun to do! Again I cut layers in all the different colors and inked and cuttlebugged everything. I cut the cherry twice and pop dotted it and also put glossy accents on it to make it shine. Originally, I had planned to cut the pineapple drink out of velumn and layer the wording over it...like a watermark, but ended up liking the cut so well, that I just had to make a complete drink!
